Another sunglasses thread...help please
Hi everyone,
I need to get some sort of pair of sunglasses that'll work for me. I've tried a lot of pairs on, and am not sure...I looked at some old threads but didn't see anything that touched on this specifically.
Here is my problem (I think)...On the last two rides when I wore my sunglasses I got a sharp pain behind my left eye that turned into a headache. I think it was caused by the weight of my sunglasses on the bridge of my nose. I don't wear prescription glasses, so I'm not used to the weight on my nose. Also I have thin skin there and get deep impressions from the nose piece.
I haven't worn my sunglasses for the past week, but we all know I'm gambling with what might fly into my face..oh, and I haven't had that pain or a headache since, so I think the pain was probably caused by the glasses.
My current sunglasses are Kenneth Cole (not bike specific) that weigh about 20-25 grams. The nose piece gel used to be really soft, but I think it has hardened somewhat. I tried on some rudy projects which weigh around 17 grams and the nose piece seems quite soft, but none of the pairs seemed wide enough (they weren't flattering).
Has anyone had any sort of a similar problem? Has anyone who also gets deep indentations from their nose piece found anything that doesn't do this?
Thanks so much in advance for any help or suggestions.
