Inexpensive Clear Lense Cycling Glasses
My wife has a nice pair of sunglasses that she enjoys but the lenses are not changeable. She is looking for an inexpensive pair of clear lenses glasses for those low light situations. Any suggestions?
Thanks Pat |

Perfomance
I'd say go to nearby Performance store if you have one and try their inexpensive store brands etc. Get em when they are on sale. They fit and work fine just as well as many name brand pairs I have and I see no drastic difference particularly for the low light clear and orange lens.
Edit: With coupon/sale price you can get a good multi lens kit for something around $20 or less. Worth checking them out.

She should select a very pale yellow for low-light conditions.
It will add greater contrast and help pierce further into haze. At night they will reduce vision-robbing headlight glare. |

I got a pair of clear glasses for morning riding and a pair of goggles I can wear over my glasses for winter riding. They're cheap, optically near perfect and sturdy. Some of these are less than $5. BL

Try Lowes, Home Depot, etc and check out their safety glasses.

I was making some keys at home depot and noticed the safety glasses aren't half bad looking, less OSHA, more Oakley...

I get all my riding and garage glasses at Dollar Tree. $1 Seriously. My eye Doc says they are fine. I do have to go thru them to find ones that fit right and are OK made, etc.

+1 on the stylish'ish safety glasses.
-1 on the dollar store variety. My wife picked me up a pair that I knocked around in. However, the lenses aren't polycarbonate and I had one shatter one day when I went for a quick jaunt on the motorcycle and caught a stone a car threw up at me. Luckily the lense 'softened' the blow; so they were good for something. (Ironically, it was as if I could see the rock coming at my eye in slow-mo, I was able to close my eye, but I couldn't get my head out of the way fast enough.) And, yes, it hurt! |

+1 Many safety glasses even have the rippin' cool aero sweep. While I'm at it, HD work gloves have become my mtb gloves. $8.00/pair, and they even have a snot patch... |
