Wayne Potgieter Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Got myself a pair of Ocean Eyewear photochromic cycling glasses last year and love them...actually, i have also heard a lot of good things.
Thomo Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I preferred glasses are D'Arc. Yes they are a bit cheaper, ok a lot cheaper, but I recon that if and when I loose them it will not be such a big loss. They sit just fine and vent well. My only issue is that they do not have photochrome lenses yet. I bought my current pair 2 years ago. Still going strong. D'Arcs has always provided good value.I remember having a pair with multiple lenses.Apparently they do have a photochrom option now too ...http://www.omnico.co.za/images/pdf/DArcs%20web%20press.pdf

Mine came to an end when I stored them between my number and shirt instead of my pocket. Not very happy with the pair I replaced them with (similar value).
raptor Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Best would be a Oakley Radar or a oakley Racing jacket

Maybe I should look for them at the CTCT expo. I see they do polarized also now.
Cookie88 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 Thanks for all the replies guys, might try have a look for something at the Argus Expo - maybe pick up a good deal!
Fats Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 D'Arc's are good value for money and sit nice and comfy. Recently bought a photocromic pair from cwc on special so they are available.
nonky Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Tifosi photochromatic sunnies are absolutely FINE - just check that the nose pad is comfy...
georgemc Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Adidas Evil Eye Halfrim Pro or Oakley Racing Jacket are both quality choices. Just remember that Photochromatic lenses generally don't change colour immediately, so if you're riding in areas where you are constantly going from dark(shady) to light(or vice versa) like you would in a forest, then that could be a potential problem. I find that Persimmon(orange) lenses work well for all lighting conditions.
Long Wheel Base Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Thank you very much for that info. Maybe I should look for them at the CTCT expo.

NicNacDH Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Also happy with Ocean Eye wear, as gogo@ said. http://www.oceaneyewear.co.za/vmchk/cycle-sport.html
J∆kk∆ls Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I don't make a habit of dropping my glasses But seriously, I've dropped them a few times, and even had my little kids "playing" with them and they're all good. Had them for years without any issues. Then I got a bad set. I dropped them twice. The first time on the paving and the frame snapped at the top. Second time I dropped it on a wooden floor and it chipped the frame on the other side. then last week I put them on over my helmet straps as usual and the right arm snapped off Bad experience with Adidas so I can't vouch for them. Glad yours are holding up though
Guest notmyname Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Just make sure you can read your computer display with polarized. Some polarized lenses I believe you struggle to read a lcd or similar display.You just have to tilt your head left or right. I found this out with my normal shade's and the clock and temp of my car.
Joeboy69 Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I'm on my 3rd pair of Rudy with photochromatic lenses. Highly recommended.
Lurch the stalker Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 I currently ride with Rudy Project Kalyos Chrome's and my problem with them is after about 6 months the plastic has started to peel on the one arm, very slight but it will obviously worsen with time. Also, I have 3 sets of lenses with the frame, and the one set (of course, typically the lenses I prefer) don't sit 100% against the frame on the one side. When it comes time to replace them, I'm probably going to go Oakley.
DJR Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Just make sure you can read your computer display with polarized. Some polarized lenses I believe you struggle to read a lcd or similar display.On my one bike computer, this is not a problem at all. On the other one it is so bad, I have to do a proper contortionist job with my neck in order to see the read out. I prefer polarised, especially on bright days along the ocean.
