Fluke Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I have started driving early mornings and late evenings and have problems with winter sun glare, normal reactalite or transition lens glasses don't work through car window screens. What no prescription sunglasses do you wear and would you recommend them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 No idea what my numbers are but I'm a big fan of my prescription sunnys. Even when it's not especially bright or glarey, they just make my eyes so much more relaxed, which is great for long journeys. Just remember you've got them on when it actually starts to get dark!

Ekona Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I've got two pairs of glasses, one with normal lenses in and one with sunglass lenses in. The sunglass ones work fine, the lens isn't anything particularly special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewan27 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I'm an Oakley fan boy, their lenses are very good and don't just make things darker like cheaper ones do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 When sunny I wear contacts and then either Oakley Juliet, Oakley Why 4.0 or RayBan RB3386 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluke Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 I'm a bit long in the tooth for iridium lenses and designer sunglasses, but I have been reading up on Serengeti's and Driverwear. has anyone worn them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I've had 2 pairs of Oakley Ducatti's in different designs and lost them both, I now have a pair of Oakley Custom oil rigs and a pair of Spy "Helm" glasses which I was given at Gymkhana GRiD the other week. The Spy pair are actually really good and I'd really rate them. Trainers and Sunglasses are my downfall, normally buy at least a new pair of each a year, trainers normally 2/3 pairs a year.

KyleR Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I wear Serengeti's, no idea which ones, I just bought them in Mexico a few years ago because they looked good, my Oakleys were FUBAR'd, and they were a little geeky in being slightly 'reactive' lenses. They really keep the glare out of my eyes and i've not had any blind moments with them yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4RE Leather Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 ESS. absolutely brillient. Same ones as issued to the Allied forces over in the sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Just get something with a polarised lens and you're half way there... Don't get RayBan P Aviators though - they're too 'flat' and loads of sun comes in round the side of the lens... I'll probably get some polarised Oakley glasses for my next set, just need to find a pair that isn't too garish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They come with a set of clear lenses as well. very well made and fit for purpose. Get new ones from ebay not the used ones.

HEADPHONES Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I have a pair of Kirkland Signature ones from Costco. Lightweight Polarised Anti glare coating on the inside of the lenses Only cost me about £30. My 2nd favourite pair for driving are some cheapo polarised ones from NEXT. Polarised again but have spring loaded arms unlike my Costco ones making them easier to open and put on mid drive. Kind of ironic how these two are finally my all time favourites after spending hundreds on numerous fancy pairs over the years from the sunglasses hut etc. I suppose some fit certain head shapes better and my nut suits these budget ones.
