75 quid for a pair of sunglasses?

Are you mad?

I never paid that for them, £20 from a cycling group.

I bought a set of Freesoldier glasses a while back and they're excellent.

Currently on Amazon at about £18.

Came with five interchangeable lenses: Dark, clear, orange, blue and mirror, a clip in piece so you can fit prescription lenses behind them, plus the arms come off and you can fit a strap if you're snowboarding or on something really rough, so you know you won't lose them.

Here's the link:

Here's what I got included with mine:

It says they're unavailable in the link above, but I did just manage to find them and then lost the link.

Bolle here too

Just collected a plain and tinted pair from Screwfix today - look and feel like they'll do the job fine.
£20 for the pair.

As you can never have too many pairs of shades and with the weather definitely turning towards winter, seeing this thread last night, ordered a pair from Amazon for the princely sum of £6.95 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=sr_nr_p_89_0?fst=as%...

Just been delivered. Seem very well made for the money.

Sunwise have quite a good range of cycling glasses. I'm not sure where you can try them on though as I just picked some from the site. Quality is good and the extra lenses have been useful throughout the year.

Bit biased as I'm an optician and we sell Sunwise but currently loving my Sunwise Hastings they have a water resistant coating which when we had a torrential deluge in the 12 hour time trial I rode afew weeks ago performed really well didn't steam or fog up.
Sensible price and well made. Mainly sold through opticians if you email them I am sure they will put you in touch with someone locally.

Bought a pair of uvex a few years back - adaptive tint, light and comfy.
