Is it a position problem, or a sliding down your nose problem? The latter can be fixed with a good elastic headband meant for holding athletic glasses in place.
If it's position, try Active -- I like their glasses even better than my beloved Oakley Half Jackets and do fine for both the run and bike part of the triathlons I've done.

S&W Mini Magnum from MSC Direct
Narrow size to fit youth/women's faces, excellent optical quality, ANSI impact resistant, not too scratch prone, UV blocking, wraparound design with great coverage, comfortable flexible nose piece, adjustable earpieces, available in smoke, yellow and clear, $8. Can't beat 'em with a stick.
I order them by the case so I'll always have a spare pair when they get too scratched, or if I misplace them. Is $90 too much to pay for 12 pairs of sunglasses? I haven't bought expensive sunglasses since the dog ate my Oakleys.

I have a pair of Tifosi with transitional lenses. I love those glasses for overcast days and transitional seasons. I think I paid $65 or so for them.

I'm a Tifosi fan too, with the Fototec lenses. Used those lenses for everything from light rain to bright desert sun.
Although I must say, OakLeaf's recommendation for the Mini Magnums sounds appealing--you certainly can't beat that price!

OMG!
It's really freaky in the UK to be looking at gun websites
But these do make sense. Will see if i can find them here.
Thanks, all.

Those are actually made by Olympia Eyewear. You may have better luck finding them under that name in the UK. I don't know if that line is exclusive to S&W or not, but I don't suppose the marque has the same cachet in the rest of the world as it has in the USA
Anyway, MSC, where I linked to, is an industrial supply house. Safety glasses, y'know. Most towns have an industrial supply place that will sell at retail to the public in small-ish quantities. If you want to look for those glasses, try that.Last edited by OakLeaf; 10-31-2007 at 11:11 AM.
