Looking for my first pair of riding glasses so don't want to spend a fortune, recommendations please.
Also is it worth getting adaptive light lenses?
Cheers.

Don't waste your money. They all scratch. Buy cheap safety glasses off eBay for 5-8 quid a pop.

Tifosi - might be around £40 - £50 but £50 (or less online) will get you 3 lenses and great fit & optics.

My default glasses of choice these days, even with two pairs of Oakleys in the box.

We've got a pair of the Endura Chukar glasses, supposed to have hydrophobic coating but I dont find them particularly any better than non hydrophobic glasses. I've give up worrying about scratching the lenses. I'd never fork out for oakleys now as its not worth forever stressing about marks on em. The glasses work just fine and the lenses change easily enough with the three sets that they come with. I'd get another pair anyway

bolle bandido - £3/pair, they even look quite good.

available in grey, clear, and yellow.

i've got some fakely jawbones, but find that the frame restricts my field of vision. they're ok for mtb'ing, but i can't see where i'm going when i'm on my road bike...
