I have a pair of Oakley sunglasses with transition lenses that work well for mid-morning to late afternoon road rides, but not so much for early morning ( solar glare) and early evening (approaching dusk) commuting.
In the morning I head southeast for some of my commute on a bike path and there are times I'm literally blinded by the low sun, so it I think I need a darker lens to cut down on the glare. In the evening now that it's getting into mid-September, the Oakleys aren't sufficiently bright enough in shade on the bike path, so I think I need a lighter or clear lens for the trip home.
Any suggestions for an alternative sunglass (probably with multiple lenses) that will work better than the transition/photochromatic type? I would like to keep the purchase under $150 and would really like to spend closer to $100, but still want a quality set for my aging/failing vision.
