I have the lense set that includes the dark tint, clear lense and the orange lense with the black
framed glasses. I'm so cool. :-)

We bought our lass a pair of Briko Sprinters, which she loves. Orange,clear and gray lenses and with
non shake off arms. We got them from www.parrot-online.com at UK price list price, but you should be
able to buy them at discount over there. Mike

Perhaps. But she has a dent centre helmet where the noggin hit a tree, the glasses stayed on, the
lenses didnt pop out but her handlebar light mounting split under the impact. This was North Downs
somewhere. Mike

Get some Oakley OverTheTops, in silver with orange lenses. This will enable you to look like a
