Sunglasses - which ones do you use for riding?

[roadiechick]

Hi

Just wondered if anyone could recommend a good pair of riding sunglasses. I am using Oakley Minutes at the moment and I find that when I turn my head to check traffic behind me, the frame seems to be right in the way of my vision (corner of my eyes, if you know what I mean).

Any recommendation would be welcome.

I currently have Rudy Projects and am happy with them.

For me it's not so much about the brand as they style. I look for "rimless" (bottom half) glasses with interchangeable lenses.

The lens colors that are "must haves" for me include brown (sunny conditions), persimmon or red (overcast or changing conditions) and clear for shaded singletrack and nightriding.

If you want to stick with Oakley you could try the Half Jackets or the classic M-Frames. Other brands that offer rimless interchageables include Bolle, Briko, Rudy Project and Perfromance's house brand (to name a few).

I also ride in Rudy's - with the rimless bottom and comes with the different lenses.

I like them a lot.

"me too"

I just bought the rudy project kerosenes a couple of weeks ago and have been happy as a clam.

I'll admit to one qualm, though: shatter resistance. Rudy's site doesn't say peep about their lens durability. I don't know how the lenses will handle a face plant. Anyone have any anecdotes?

so i guess rimless is the way to go, i will have to try a couple on. :D
