    They did a special on TV and found that cheap sunglasses with UVA/UVB tags were as effective as expensive sunglasses. However I pay extra for women's style and "sport" nosepads that help they stay on my face (particularly during running).

    I also love my Tifosi's. I bought them after Lasik--Dr. ordered big, wrap around lenses to protect my eyes from bugs and wind while I healed. Mine came with multiple lenses but I settled on brown.

    WARNING: One day I forgot my cycling glasses and slipped on some RayBans. I discovered they gave me almost no peripheral vision, which proved dangerous when I glanced back to pass. So try before you buy, if you can.

    Now this I'm not sure on--isn't there something about using lenses that won't crush on impact? Maybe that was skiing?
