suggestions for sunglasses and socks

[sherx2]

I am in need of a new pair of sunglasses. I wear contacts so something that would block wind and debris would be helpful. Of course comfort and something with a nice appearance would also be a plus. (not much to ask, huh? ) Any suggestions?
Also on a search for the perfect sock.
Thanks!

I love, love, LOVE my Tifosi Slips. They come in very rocking colors, have three pairs of lenses for different levels of lighting. Are reasonably priced (compared to Rudy Projects) and are quite hardy. If you're willing to shell out, Rudy Projects have some glasses that allow you to put in prescription inserts which gives you the option of eliminating the contacts when you want to. Can't help with the socks, I just wear regular ankle socks from Marks & Spencer's and Little Miss Matched.

Smith & Wesson Mini Magnum, and Teko merino or Injini Performance Outdoors.

Depends on what activity you want each for, of course.

I'm currently wearing a pair of Ryders sunglasses (with the 3 interchangeable lenses). For socks, it's primarily Smartwool cycling socks...although I do have a few pair of DeFeet cycling socks that I like as well. I wear different thicknesses of socks depending on the temps. I have thin for really warm days, medium for average temps, and thicker for cold weather.

Tifosi photochromatics for partly cloudy ---> full sun, and $5 clear safety glasses for dark.

I am a HUGE fan of Optic Nerve sunglasses--their photochromics have the widest range of any photochromic lens...wider even than much more $$ brands. I have the Neuro Toxin frame. I've got a pair with the photomatic lenses and a pair that have 4 different lenses (purchased so that I'd have clear lenses for night riding). These wrap well around my smallish face.

I've used contacts for years and years. Picked up Serfas Force 5 glasses because my budget at the time was limited, but was not at all disappointed with these glasses. They are perfect for small/medium heads (like mine) and my Take a Look mirror fits fine on them.

As for socks, I picked up Balega Lady Ventilators when I was training for a sprint tri, and just love them. My feet overheat very easily, and that is never a problem with the Ventilators.

Swiftwick. Best. Socks. Ever.

Perfect for running, walking, cycling. No affiliation, just a very satisfied customer getting ready to order more!

As far as socks go, I love Nike Dri-Fit (ankle) socks. They are snug and help from your feet being soaked when you ride.
