I'm looking to get a new pair for the summer as the frame of my Oakleys has cracked after 12 years service. Any recommendations for a brand/style that is suitable for multiple sports but mainly running and cycling..and also can be used for general use.

Looking at up to £100 as I tend to lose or break most pairs, obviously avoiding the big brand names at this price point. Polarized would be good.

I bought a pair from optilabs:

I used them for cycling and running. They came with one of those bands that go over the arms and round your head and so don't move at all. Mine cost £100. Think they do polarised options but they are extra.

Having ruined/lost a few pairs of expensive glasses over the years, I've recently been using Bolle Contour safety glasses for cycling. They are comfortable, durable and about £6 smile

Ah I have misread the post. I thought you were looking for prescription glasses.

In which case my recommendation is probably no good.

Bloc? I've had a couple of pairs of their Dakar T - mostly used for tennis - comfortable, polarised, don't look out of place wearing them for normal use, and only around £30.
