Prescription riding glasses

Post by barney »

Being the buffoon I am I've lost my riding glasses, they are the interchangeable lenses and the clip-in prescription insert type.

Just wondering if anyone uses similar and could recommend any new ones? Price wise needs to be <£100 which rules out prescription Oakley's or similar.

Cheers in advance.

Thanks for the offer ledburner but I'm sorted now.

By the way, I had a look on the PX website, couldn't see any specs with prescription inserts?

Cheers for offer though. 👍

I tried all sorts of things a couple of years ago now. I tried some transitions glasses, which I discovered need to actually have the sun shining directly on them to change.This was a bit of an issue when wearing a cap, having my head down or my back to the sun, which is basically all the time when riding a bike! In the end I went for contacts. I found it so much easier to continue using my current collection of sunny's, both on and off the bike, and just for general use too. It also solved the problem of one set of glasses for distance and another for reading/computer work etc.

I have some Rad8 prescription glasses, I need some new glasses and have got to the point where I need a read prescription too so bit the bullet and got the 2 prescriptions and the reactilite option too.
They are proper safety glasses too which I tested last week at work with a large drill bit.
Great for riding and work but was £250 which is what a normal pair of glasses would have cost anyway.
What's the worst than can happen?
