Cheap Sunglasses??
Ive been riding anything and everything on 2 wheels 2 legs 4 wheels 6 or 24 wheels whatever and always wore cheap sunglasses. Ill spend it all on a bit of chrome but im way to cheap to buy expensive glasses. I wear a high dollar auto tint speedglas welding hood and never realized that there were auto darkening sunglasses.
Last weekend I had had enough! The weather in Washington state has sucked big this year. Every time I put on my clears its too bright, my yellow shooting glasses its too bright, cheap sunglasses and its scary dark at some point!
I dropped about $50 on a pair of "Global Vision" Hero 24 sun glasses. "Holy crap" what a difference! They start out yellow like my shooting glasses and light up all the dark shadows, as the sun peeks out they gradually darken to full on sunglasses and everywhere in between. They have a foam trim that keeps the wind out of my eyes and keeps the fog off a little when I wear my mask on the early morning cold commute. I have notice a no bs drastic difference in eye ball fatigue with these glasses.
I have no ties to this company but I like to throw it out there when a product delivers.
$50 well spent!

While we are waiting for Steve send us a link I'll mention bikershades.com. I understand him spending money on chrome but sunglasses I lose or break. I got tired of dropping big bucks on Ray-Ban and other nice sunglasses only to destroy them. And I've got that thing going on where all the print and closeup things are shrinking. I can get wrap-around sunglasses that have the bi-focal readers in them. Maybe the more they sell the cheaper they will but but probably like everything else, if more people buy them they think they will be able to mark the price up.

You only have one set of eyes, and I don't think the technology is here yet to do eye replacement. I have spent upwards of $400 for a pair of polarized sunglasses and I will say this: you can tell a huge difference between $10 cheapos and glasses that are better constructed. I personally have a pair of Wiley X glasses that cost $160, are polarized, and I use for riding and I couldn't be happier. I would rather spend $100 or more on glasses for my only set of eyes then spend the same on another chrome do-dad that I have to clean and polish. Make HD rich and let your eyes go to .....!
You're all grown men and women, and can do what you want, but that's my 2 cents.

I have been wearing my $260 Oakleys to ride in but they offer no wind protection and they are just tinted.
I just ordered a pair of Wiley X Blinks with Light ADjusting lenses off of ebay for $110. They are made for riding...should stop the teary eyes on the highway at 75 MPH.
