Anyone got any recommendations other than RX Sport?

How strong is your prescription?
This determines what options you have.

As per aP. I can't get any Oakleys.

Have you tried contacts. I'm using soft dailies and rate them.

Contact lenses + cheap plano sunglasses.

Adidas do a good range where the prescription clips inside so you can use the wrap around ones either with or without the prescription I find them very good both on road an mtb

As above. If you're a Mr Magoo then contacts and cheap glasses will be the best option. The big players tend to favour people who have a tiny, tiny, tiny prescriptin. Honestly, these people might as well not wear glasses. Just squint a bit!

Rudy Rydon with Rx insert. For road and off road. I'm +5, so well outside Oakley territory. And they are excellent.

Go to an opticians and try on a set of frames if you're going down the prescription insert route. My eyelashes rub on the inside of the insert, not something you'd want to find out after you bought a pair.

Optilabs. Good quality frames and lenses. Mine are still going strong after about 10 years...

... oh, and I have quite a strong prescription.

I used www.extreme-eyewear.co.uk

Great service, and got prescription Oakleys that were out of range (my combined power was +4.5). Highly reccommend them .

Oakley's for me. Lovely lenses, better than my regular glasses.
