Need new riding glasses. I’m a huge fan of Oakley’s Prizm Trail (Torch) lenses so looking at another pair, but also open to alternatives.
Current potential frame options:
Sutro Lite
Jawbreaker
Radar

Head circumference is 59cm (medum large to large helmet size) if that’s any help.
Nowhere nearby to try on for size unfortunately.
Tell me what you’re wearing.

Quite like my Fuel Cell - large, good coverage and take a prescription.

I use this place in Bolton

Always liked Flak Jacket XL 2.0 with the Prism lens.

Right up to the point where I lost my last pair 🙁

I have Flak Jackets, jawbreakers and Sutro. The Jawbreakers are by far my favourite for biking. Next woudl be the Sutro (quite close). I don’t like the Flak Jackets for biking, but as normally sunnies, they’re the best of the 3.

I’m likewise on the jawbreakers. Comfortable, good field of vision, don’t fog too quickly.

I have a few pairs of Sutros but I wouldn’t wear them on my mtb as they’re not a snug/secure as jawbreakers. Great on the roadbike though.

Jawbreakers are my preferred mtb glasses.

<p style="text-align: left;">I've got Jawbreakers. If I was buying another pair I think I'd be looking at the Sutro Lite Sweeps.</p>

RadarAdvancer.

The advancer feature is really cool, they pop forward a few millimetres off your nose and demist instantly. Also stops the sweat drips going down the back of the lenses. Perfect for mtb when you stop and start a lot. One handed operation too.

I've got Prizm low light lenses in mine for most of the year and off road riding.

Really cool, think I bought them following a PSA on here actually a few years back.

Jawbreaker for me, good fit, like the adjustable leg length and just work well. Prism trail lens and a clear lens covers the whole year.

Does anyone use jawbreakers with a POC Kortal ? My old m frames can’t be used as they are too wide at the temple and the helmet pushes them in

Big fan of Jawbreakers, though haven't used anything else. Prizm trail most of the time, low light in in dense trees (Golfie etc.) and clear for night riding.
