It’s getting cold in Canberra and my eyes aren’t handling the early morning rides very well. As a colleague politely put it this morning, my eyes looked so wet and red this morning it looked as though I had either been swimming or had turned into an albino. (It would have been impolite to suggest anything else, we work with government departments! )
Any recommendations for cheap / effective / comfortable clear glasses / frames? I guess something with removable lenses so I could put in tinted ones would be cool.
Check out the bike shops… they usually have a generic brand for around the $30 mark. Otherwise they can get pretty pricey, especially if you are looking for interchangeable lenses.
Check out Braddon at lunch time if your in the city, 3 bike shops close to each other should have something that would do the trick.
Cecil Walker in Melbourne sell Ice Glasses (? of something) for about $19.00.
They’re good, last a while and you don’t get too upset when you scratch them!
i wear oakley m-frames. Lenses are detachable. You buy em with everyday lenses then just buy the clear ones extra for like 40/50$. Mine are 2 years on and going strong. I wear them every second day a the least. Dropped them heaps aswell. Very durable…
its probs worth getting a half decent pair of glasses for cold/night riding.
especially if you live in canberra as I guess you’ll be using them a bit.
I got a pair of Rudy Project Ekynox in Black with clear lenses, They were on the cheap from a mate at work, and I pretty much keep them in my bag now over the colder months for when i need to bust them out in the rain/cold nights home.
although I’d find it hard paying retail for a pair of these.
