Anyone recommend a supplier/brand/website for something reasonable but not with the silly prices so many are asking these days - polarized, maybe sub £50 and more in the old Oakley Ten or Northwave Predator style?
What car have you got?
Not very stealth ad: I've some Oakley Half Jackets 2.0 XL that have been worn once and you can have for £40. I bought them to swap the lenses to prescription but I didn't get on with the visual field distortion.
The lenses are not polarised but replacements can be popped in trivially.
Have a look at the Carnac ones from Planet-X.
Got three pairs for a tenner each. They are spot on for the money.

I bought these from Amazon for about a tenner and they have served me well! I always lose/break sunglasses so its pointless me buying expensive ones!

O’Neill polarised from eBay or m and m direct. I’ve about 4 pairs. Brilliant, never wear Oakleys now
has anyone got any recommendations for the photo-chromatic glasses - light dark transitions kill me in and out of the wood etc
Tifosi.
good - lost a pair of them - they were good- will look for another pair
Thanks guys.
Try Bloc, their optics, styles and build seem good, not a bad price either for when you lose/break them.
For reference I've got Oakley, BBB and Bloc. My Oakley's have been great but not 3x better than the Bloc. The BBB one's are adaptor light and have worked well.

😀
Another recommendation for Tifosi, I've got a few pairs of Oakley glasses but they're not worth the extra cash
I got a pair of the dhb pro triple lens from CRC, really good value
I can recommend the BBB photochromic ones, work really well and nice fit. Merlin have them.
Wife got me these for my burfday. Been pretty happy with them!

Deport village are selling their own branded shades DPV for 40/50 with what look like decent photochromic lenses. They look so close to Oakley styles, one is looks basically like the flight jacket.
I've got some Tifosi glasses which are really comfortable, but the lenses are interchangeable & after perhaps only changing the lenses 3 or 4 times between dark & clear, the clips on the dark lenses have cracked & will no longer stay in the frame. The clear lens has cracked in the same place, but I intend to glue the crack & not swap them anymore.
I don't know if they have changed the clip system to swap the lenses, but I found it really stiff & hard to do; even following the instructions to the letter, I think I have over-done it.
They are really comfortable - probably my favourite glasses now, but I won't be buying another interchangeable set, from them.
I've had a couple of pairs of Bloc and always found them to distort quite badly, occasionally dangerously so. I even parked my car into a wall that apeared to be at least a foot away from the front with the glasses on. I couldn't believe the difference when I took them off.
Just got my lad a pair of Tifosi for his birthday and was very impressed both opticaly and fit.
