All my glasses are photochromic, and I haven't noticed any performance
degradation, but there is sure to be some degradation due to the chemistry
that is involved, which is never 100% reversible.

That's what I've heard. I'll look for the Podiums at the nearby bike shop
and if I can't find them there, online.
Thanks again.

Hi guys,
I had already impulse purchased the clear glasses when I wrote this post. I had
tried my shooting glasses but they didn’t seat well under my helmet, bounced up
and down and they weren’t optically correct, so it made things worse and I
tossed them in my bag after minutes of wearing
Leah, I wear contacts so I regularly need clear lenses to keep nasty bugs from
penetrating my eyes on cloudy and night rides. I've had good luck with fit and
protection with Dewalt safety glasses from the hardware store for less than
10.00.

Sorry, does 'diminish' the darkening over time.
That said, I still use and prefer photochromatic lenses because I just
don't like dark lenses on a cloudy day. Too gloomy for me, makes me want to
turn around and go home : )
Best cloudy day lens is yellow. Totally turn a gloomy cloudy day into
That is definitely true, Patrick. The constant cycling does dimishing the
darkening over time. Eventually, they don't darken much at all. Transitions
is a brand-name, and they will argue that they do not lose effectiveness,
but that is just not true.
Buyer beware.

I have to wear what’s called “spoggles” for work at times. Kind of a hybrid
between safety glasses and goggles. In theory they don’t fog up as bad. With
wind from riding this should be fine.
Google that term and see if u like any of the styles.
I didn’t read the whole thread, apologies if
I've read that photochromatic lenses lose their ability to change shades as
they age. Is this true? Would be happy to learn that it's no longer true,
as I much prefer transition lenses to having to swap out lenses manually.

I have clear transition lenses that darken when UV light hits them. They
are getting better and some versions can even transition inside of cars to
some extent using light intensity to darken. The ones I have are Rudy
Project, which are expensive, but I had paid for them with my Rx plan and
The Frog skins look cool, but I’ve tried them and they don’t wrap around my
face enough. I really want to block out light, air, and debris.
As I was reading reviews about cycling sunglasses (mostly Oakley’s) I was
struck by reviews that said things like “Prevents tearing of my eyes at speed”
Os someone mentioned, glasses come in a wide variety of styles, and not all
will ft everyone’s face (or their personal style).
That being said, I’ll just note that I’ve been wearing Oakley Frogskins for a
long time now. Frogskins have an understated, classic look that I like.

Dear Leah,
Iuse these in a sunglass version as well. I think they cost about $8, and are
available with brown/bronze lenses, shooter's lenses (amber/yellow), and grey.

Well that was when I decided I wanted clear riding glasses for night. I ordered
Tifosi from Amazon but was really disappointed.
Dear Leah,
On the opposite side of the economic spectrum, may I suggest Jackson Safety
Nemesis safety glasses? As long as you have a relatively upright position on
Paul, I have Wayfarers - they let a lot of light in - I’m surprised they work
for cyclocross!

Rayban Wayfarer. I started wearing them in cyclocross races. I like them
over cycling specific glasses because they don't fog up when it's cold, and
they are comfortable for me.

I use these:

and find them frequently on eBay for less than half the retail price.
They are “men’s” but my wife wears mine so often I am getting her some for an
upcoming birthday.

I use these (tinted) while running and they look pretty good, don’t slip, and
don’t cost . Might be worth a try.

I've never tried photochromatic but I'd be surprised if the 'bright sunlight'
part would work. In a car maybe, but a full-on blast of
"Asia Fit" it is, and let us slant-eyes be glad for it! Thanks for pointing
this out, I'll remember this if and when I shop for Oakleys.

Patrick, I'm loath to use the term but it's what they call it and you mentioned
it: I use Oakley's Asia Fit for my big noggin..all "regular" shades fit too
tight AND slide down my nose. This fit fixes all that.

I'm a big fan of the Wiley-X line, which I take to my optometrist for

So, there is a lot of truth in your response. The part about function being
everything - I can attest to that being true after last night. I still have no
clear glasses, but as I was heading out for an evening ride, I remembered I
*do* have clear shooting glasses. I dug around in my range bag
I'm already an Oakley fan and you already know this so this is kinda for you
but mostly for everyone else to be blessed with my fanboi fandom.
"Roadie robot" looks might be a little jarring for the committed Just Rider,
but function is everything in a cycling shade: They need to be light enough
