wesley_r Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Anyone got experience with Glider eyewear? Thinking of getting a pair of "Asphalts"... can't afford Rudy, Adidas, Oakley, etc at R499 the Glider's seem alright. Fairly comfy, Polarised, and with a rubber strip along the top for sweat... The other option is Ocean Eyewear, a tad cheaper...
CAAD4 Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 I know quite a few guys who use Ocean, no complaints. You can get Photochromics for around R600 or less.

BlinkFan Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 I have the Asphalts. I like it. Good lenses, comfortable, and I find that they don't fog up easily. Also use them for running and they're fine. Bought a pair of Asphalts and Bravados at the Argus Expo for R675.
wesley_r Posted March 27, 2012 Author Posted March 27, 2012 Rad, thanks for the feedback. Fogging up and sweat are a bitch, so glad to hear it. Does that rubber "sweat" pad work then, without being irritating?
Hairy Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Got a porno white framed set from a race. They do a really good job of cutting out glare and the optics are good. Go for it.
BikeBailing Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Had several pairs of Gliders, they channel awesomeness for the price.

Does that rubber "sweat" pad work then, without being irritating? I don't even notice the rubber sweat thing. I do sweat quite a bit, and during the Argus I had no issues with sweat in my eyes. Never had to remove it to wipe sweat from my eyes.
wesley_r Posted March 28, 2012 Author Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) just bought them... very comfy, will report back once I've done a couple of rides quite impressed at Glider - soft bag and hard case, nice! plus I got a second (not that cool) pair of sunnies free Edited March 28, 2012 by the_wes

wesley_r Posted April 12, 2012 Author Posted April 12, 2012 Two short rides with them and so far so good. Fairly light, comfortable, don't shift around, and, despite the hot weather, no sweat on the lens or in my eyes (yet) and no fogging up. Good glare reduction, not too dark, optics seem clear and peripheral vision is unhindered. No cons as of yet
GhostRider2 Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 These look good for the price. Any idea where they retail in Joburg?
TheSaint Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 You can get Rudy's on the hub here for R800 what hub! what planet! never seen before, except for the ad on the 14th March, nogal with scratches.
