Default Sunglasses?

Looking for a good pair of sunglasses for riding and everyday use. I know Rudy Project are awsome but a bit pricey. What do you wear?

Oakley M-Frame for the variety of lens shapes (can find one that sits only on the bridge of nose without hitting other parts of face). Also, polarized lenses because glare can sometimes make bumps and holes hard to see.

You should look at Tifosi. They're quality glasses that are priced very well. I agree about getting polarized lenses, if possible. Polarized lenses reduce eye strain, improve contrast, and kill a lot of glare. Make sure your lenses provide UV protection.

Tifosi Tyrant or Pave..both $60, get darker/lighter depending on the light. I just bought some for me! Winter glasses.

I have a pair of oakley Radar's and I LOVE them. They dont put any pressure behind my ears which is great. last pair of cheapo glasses I had put a lot of pressure there and gave me headaches on my riding.

smith is also good, but same price-category as Rudy Project

Oakley is awsome material, but even more expensive than Rudy Project

You pay a lot, but they last easily for 5 years of extensive use.

2 other brands that are affordable:

BBB (like wooliferkins indicated) I had 3 of those, the fit is rather good, they are light, fairly good lenses, and they survive 1 to 2 years of extensive use

Sinner, same as BBB, but little better quality (just had 1 of it)

find riding glasses distort your vission a bit maybe the more exspencive ones donot have this problem have razor ones bout 10 euros told they were bargain lens very clear but give the sensation of riding higher on the road ...

More money buys you lenses w/ fewer or smaller aberrations.
