    I'm with mimi... go into your version of the "$2 Shop" and get cheapies...

    They're just to reduce glare and stop bugs...

    Thats all I use, don't trust myself with expensive glasses

    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".

    Some people don't do well with cheap sunglasses though. I bought a cheap nice looking pair and wore them on a 3 hour ride last Fall. After an hour I had a splitting headache, took the glasses off and the headache was gone in 5 minutes. Put them back on and headache returned. Off again, and headache immediately disappeared. Finally the lightbulb went on. They had fit my head just fine- it was something about the curved lenses I think....
    Now I have some good polarized more expensive sunglasses, and no more headaches while riding.

    I always choose cheapies with UV protection... I have sometimes gotten headaches from where the "arms" of the glasses sit and how they press against my temples or how tight they hug the side of your head...

    I did have a pair of glasses that were a tight fit between my head and the helmet and I couldn't wear those at all

    Good point about UV protection/polarise glasses, Lisa

    Success!

    It took a while, but I finally found a place that carries the Smith Theories and they were perfect! Who would have thought - I found them in a little surf shop in the lakes region in New Hampshire...
