my smith metal burst sunnies have finally given up the ghost- big scratch down the inside of the right lens means they’re not that easy on the eye (so to speak) any more, and despite our general lack of sunshine here in the north west of england, i need to replace them.
ideally, i’d like something similar to the smith ones, here:
that is, something that doesn’t look too bonkers either on or off the bike… i’d rather not spend an absolute bomb (so no super high end oakleys for me), but i’d like something pretty decent too, with a good quality lens. i’m not a fan of raybans at all either.
what do you wear, or what would you buy if you were in my position?
molly- mostly off the bike as i have a couple of pairs of cheapo ebay bolle safety glasses for riding (no dark lenses though).
i forgot about bloc adam; i have an old pair somewhere, did like em so i’ll scour their site now, ta!
liking those spesh ones too…
Have a look at Eyewear outlet .co.uk. I know you said that you were not interested in Oakleys but if you saw some of prices it may change your mind.
HTH
i almost bought some from there last year when they were selling off the factory seconds; it’s not that i’m not interested in oakley, i like them but just don’t want to spend mad money on a pair…
I like these. I got a free pair when I was in Miami a couple of years ago and the lenses are the best I have ever used. I have tried Oakley and Ray Bans and imo these are better.
