    Pedals and Sunnies

    Hello All Pedal Power Types,

    Could someone recommend a good brand of wraparound sunglasses that are a close fit and keep fine bits of dust out of your eyes, while cycling along?

    I want to return to the saddle. However, I am legally blind without contact lenses in my eyes. This means I need to wear a close fitting pair of sunnies or tinted wrap a-rounds that do not restrict side vision. They need to be able to be are worn comfortably with a helmet and capable of keeping crap out of my eyes. The more area covered around the sides the better.

    This weekend I will be fighting for possession of my old mountain bike from the present clutches of spiders and carpet snakes living in my old shed. The weekend will involve cleaning the bike and fitting new tubes and tyres, and giving it a good service so I can turn the pedals over again. Oh and I also have to remember where my shoes are for the bike too.

    Kind Regards
    Lionel

    I suggest you visit an industrial safety shop and try a few sets of shades on, as face shapes vary hugely and what fits me well won't fit you. I only use Uvex brand safeties whilst on my treadly and they fit me well. They also have excellent UV protection in their tinted models. Once you've found what fits you best you can troll the internet for bargains. Example:

    It depends on the shape of your face and how long your eyelashes are as to what will work.

    I have long eyelashes that usually brush against most brands of sunnies driving me nuts. What I ended up with was Rudy Project prescription sunnies through an optometrist which are also tinted orange to assist me with visual processing. I use them for both road and mountain biking.

    Consider different colours too. Sometimes depending on how your brain works they can assist with processing incoming information. Handy when trying to avoid obstacles on a trail.

    You can get Rudy Projects without a prescription too (cheaper).
