A mate once had a pair of safety glasses from Screwfix I think for like £3 he thought these were great..

Does anyone have any suggestions ?

Just bought my 3rd pair of these;

[url= http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190271225785&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT ]bolle safety glasses[/url]

I keep on putting them down to take photos and forgetting to put them on again.....

Cheap as chips, don't fog (IME) and they keep the mud out of my contact lenses.

I've used the Bollé safety glasses and they've been good, but they do steam up pretty easily.

Now got Specialized Singletracks which are fantastic, best riding glasses I've ever had.

just lick the lenses the saliver will stop them steaming up. and move then a few mm from in front of your face.

works for me.

You need a bigger nose.

I've always been happy with Bloc glasses. My latest pair were £30 I think for polarised lenses and a pretty comfy fit.
I replaced my old pair as in hot conditions, they would tend to slip off my nose on long technical descents...

They only seem to fog when you stop after putting a fair effort in.

this thread reminded me to nab a pair of yellow tinted lenses from work and see if they work...

Anti fog- put a dab of washing up liquid on the lens and then wipe clean jsut before your ride, should do the trick.

Yes, they're really good IMHO but a tad fragile. I fell off and snapped one of the arms but Endura replaced for £5.80. Oh, and they don't fog up too.

For the price and lenses, I'd recommend in an intant!

Another Bolle user here, they're ace, honestly better than my "proper" riding glasses, and it's not as annoying when I lose them. BL10s for me, in clear and in shaded. And a bottle of Nikwax Visorproof to stop fogging, not cheap but lasts forever and pretty much stops fogging.

I use a variety of different Bolle styles as throwaways, but they do fog and scratch easily - maybe because they're cheap I'm not as careful with them.

I have some Specialized Adaptalite Singletracks which are amazing - got em for £20 in a sale.

I wear contacts and used to wear glasses to keep the mud out however... since using the inner tube (or neoguard if your posh) between fork bridge and crown i've had no need to. It stops pretty much everything flicking up (with the exception of dust if your following someone).
