I seldom wear glasses when riding, but my eyesight is deteriorating and I think it would be worthwhile getting something decent for our upcoming Idaho Hot Springs tour. There will likely be a lot of dust and glare.

The last pair of specs I wore regularly were some Factory Pilots so I've not got a clue where to start.

Maybe the daytime crew can help?

Do you wear contacts at all or just glasses?

Neither yet, I'm just after something for dust and sun protection.

I had a pair of Specialized glasses thet claimed to be made from the same scratch proof material Apache helicopter windscreens were made from, I hope their pilots had more success than I did.

I tend to use [url= http://www.optilabs.com/site/prods.php?pfid=0,8,11,18 ]Optilabs[/url] for prescription riding specs. Not amazing, but sensible enough money and the service is pretty good.

I just buy Bolle safety specs, Spider I think, use Trackers at work, a bit too hot for riding.
From Screwfix or Ebay, usually less than a tenner so no big issue if they get damaged.

My other half wears contacts so I get her something with more coverage, Uvex, I-3 or I-VO.

£15 gets you a set of three, pick appropriate colour before departure on ride, very comfy, dust proof for contacts, UV protection, windproof A++++++ would buy again...
