I know I saw a link somewhere here for a pair of sunglasses/safety glasses that can be worn over regular glasses, and they didn't look too dorky like most I have found online. I can't remember which thread I saw it in, and I don't know what to search on :) I think the price was somewhere around $35 or so.

Anyone have a link? Thanks!

I have a pair - they are great but... I like the rear view mirror that attaches to my eyeglasses, and it just does not work so well with the fitovers.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I would not have thought to ask about this, but it is the solution to one of my problems. It seems like the wind blows around my glasses and irritates my eyes. Somehow the glasses funnel the wind into my eyes more than riding without them, but I need to wear them anyway. I've seen prescription wrap-arounds, but for that kind of money I could get a much better bike! I'll be ordering a pair of these today.

If you live in the Midwest, Meijer stores carry a cheaper brand like those fitovers, and they actually fit me better. They cost about half the price of fitovers. They are sold in the Mejers' that have an eyeglass shop.

Make sure that whatever you get blocks both UVA and UVB rays. Cheapo sunglasses without that protection are worse than no sunglasses at all because the darkness makes pupil dilate, which could result in injury or damage. Take care of your eyes--you only have two and they are not easily replaceable.

I like these so much that I bought a second pair just for everyday wear, and one for my biking. I think this was the link I posted a while back that someone was asking about...


I wear eyeglasses- graduated lenses to help me with both distance and reading vision. When biking, I wear Eagle Eyes polarized sunglass called "fit-ons' that go right over my regular glasses:

They are very comfy, don't look weird, and are goggle-like- protecting me from wind, bugs, pebbles, sun, glare, and even freezing temps.
I really like them.
