[Closed] Photochromic sunglasses

I got some Uvex from jej - go from clear to proper dark and didn't cost a bomb.  Possibly these

Endura do some around that price, never used them so can't say if they're any good. I can 100% recommend Adidas Evil Eye Evo but they are a fair bit more expensive

I have the Endura 'stingrays' I think they are called. They're pretty good TBH. Endura do 2 different strengths of photocromatic tints.

One goes a lot darker than the others, which go to almost clear.  Check their site, it lists the two types.

Got some B'twin glasses from decathlon for £25 so far have lasted way longer than my endura ones.

I understand how practical, useful and clever photochromic sunglasses are...

however...

they give a certain aroma of lurker to the wearer, maybe a piquant of paedo if you will, or something of the night perhaps.

Google Image search of Dario Gradi as explanation...

Also be aware that photochromic lenses do not go back to clear super quickly, so it can be an issue when darting into shaded areas when riding - in case you were not aware of the speed of transition

Been using BBB Winner glasses for a couple of years, excellent.

Also got a couple of pairs of these when Evans were sellling them half price:

Dunno if its normal, but the FWE ones had to see the sun a few times before they would go properly dark. (Weird that they include yellow lenses with them too, not sure why you’d use em when the main lenses go so light.)

Rad8 are excellent. Pricier than your budget but the best I’ve tried.

I'm after some too to replace some old Specialized adaptalites.

Did try a pair of Rad8s but found them flimsy and the lenses scratched very easily - I think they give free pairs for positive reviews.

Might give the Endura's a go if somebody's got a positive review - otherwise it gets expensive!

I loved my Spesh Adaptalites, Endura's big thumbs down broke an arm on a pair after six months rang em up and they don't do spares!

Now I go on Amazon and spent £20 on a pair  https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B078BRZ6DL/ref=pe_3187911_189395841_TE_dp_1 generic brand but when I kill them I wont be stressed about spares

Thanks some good options there

Endura do a few great pairs - I had to cut one set of arms down so they fitted my helmet better. Super strong and comfy.

BBB do a set that have a clever mini lens moulded into the lower section so you can glimpse down and read your gps and menus in restaurants etc (useful for us old gits) and you can chose lens strengths too.

Interested in this thread but ideally I would like a set with vented lenses, mine fog up easily , any recommendations
