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.

I have Tifosi Forza sunglasses with fototec lenses, as well as the Tifosi Slip sunglasses with interchangeable lenses.
I actually like the Forzas quite a lot; the fototec lenses work over a very wide range of light conditions, they fit my face and provide good coverage. Very light and comfortable too. They look a little geeky on me though.
The Slips are a tad heavier and I notice this, but they are still comfortable, even for running. The thing that bugs me about them is that they have a substantial vent at the top of the lens, which does actually seem to help keep them from fogging, but in the summer on long rides I feel like all of that air rushing past my eyes makes them dry. On the other hand, it's nice to have at least one pair of interchangeable lens glasses for when you want to ride at night with clear or light yellow lenses. And the shape of these is very flattering on my face for some reason. Gives the illusion of great cheekbones.
I ended up with Tifosi's because they're so reasonably priced -- I think each pair was between $50 and $60. Someday I'll splurge on something schmancier, but for the time being these were a good value.
I have a pair of Natives that I really like. I think they're called Attacks. Easy snap-in lenses...and my hubby can borrow them because I got a nice big pair.

I have Ryder's - fairly cheap. They have lots of styles and I just look for a small face style. I just cant see spending too much on glasses, they have ones for about $40, fit good for a small face, and have changeable lenses, i.e. regular dark, clear, yellow.
