Polarized sunglasses for racing

[BikeMinX]

Hi there guys and girls,

My boyfriend competes in road racing and he has lost his sunglasses and needs some new ones, he said he would like a cheap pair for training in but he has a thing where they have to be polarized lenses. Could anyone reccomend a pair maybe a widely avaliable brand or something which will ship to the UK.

Id love to get him a pair that people think are good and value for money rather than make a mistake and buy something useless. Thanx everyone (oooh his bike is black and red too so if they are that color im sure he would like that aswell haha)

They come will different lenses for different conditions and very reasonably priced.

Polarized is not a good idea for road riding - it can hide wet spots in the road. Probably OK for criteriums and the like.

He prefers them im not sure why, must be some reason and he does a lot of road racing, maybe its just a personal preferance type of thing i dunno
