After wearing spectacles for the last 27 years I'm venturing into the bold world of contact lens as I keep trashing my prescription glasses.

I quite like riding without s**t in my eyes so looking for some glasses to keep the mud/poo/insects out that:

a) Cheap - Sub £50 (I'm northern so the cheaper the better)
b) Aren't going to steam up at the slightest temp change
c) Don't scratch when I wipe the summer mud from them
d) Don't make me look like Bono!! 😯

So any suggestions other than cheap safety specs??

Dave

Bolle safety glasses from ebay, work out at about £6 a pair. They are impact resistant and comfy, oh and UV filtering probably better than your sunglasses

+1 for the Decathlon ones, I have a clear pair and they were only £4 when I got them.

Go into a shop and try some on to see which fit best. I've used Tifosi for the last few years and they work well for me.

Bolle safety specs on eBay
£20 for 10 pairs mean there's a pair and spare in bag, pair in car and van, usually with spares and a pair in jackets etc.

Bolle Contours, the ESP version are very good

I tend to go for the cheapy polaris ones that you can get on CRC for around £11. I find these tend to be better than the bolle safety glasses, but they also don't break the bank

Rudy rydon photochromatics. Then you can add the Rx insert if you don't get on with contacts. Use mine for road and mtb riding. And I'm a 43 year-experienced wearer of glasses.
