[RBW] Re: Sunglasses

"Light in over the top" The problem - even with a Nutcase with brim like Leah has - is casual shades sit too far from the face and let light (and wind) in from the top and sides. On an upright bike like her Clementine the brim isn't going to be enough to cover that gap. Which is where shades

[RBW] Re: Sunglasses

I see ... So your helmet already has a visor.. alright I get that. There are other brands that have longer ones. Frankly, I'm not a fan of Oakley at all. There are so many other brands out there that wrap around the eyes and face, even without being a shield type. I wore some $50 Bolle close

[RBW] Re: Sunglasses

Hey Leah, they do make Helmets with removable visors you know ? Is your helmet a Nutcase brand ? They also make visors you can add on to certain existing models. Nutcase for example has a bunch of stuff : https://nutcasehelmets.com/collections/street

[RBW] Re: Sunglasses

All, here's the add-on brim I mentioned in my earlier reply to Leah. It also can be found with a "neck shade" for especially hot, sunny locations. It's often described as a "hard hat add-on brim." [image: Cycling Classic Brim] On Sunday, May 31, 2020 at 5:26:58 PM UTC-4, Bicycle Belle Ding

Funny that Rosco's are likely coming back (per Will) in one form or another to use up the Hillibike 650b fork mishap inventory. Being a huge clearance, segmented fork I have to assume the rest of the frame would be a little different as well. On Wednesday, 15 April 2020 09:50:56 UTC-7, Jason

Re: [RBW] Sunglasses

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. On Mon, Jun 1, 2020 at 11:18 AM Toshi Takeuchi wrote: > I have clear

I have an Abus Bordo that lives with my Clem (water bottle attachment) that I use to lock the frame & rear wheel to bike racks. If i have to leave it in a risky spot for any length of time I'll bring a Kryponite U-lock (the small orange model) and lock the frame with it as well - I figure two

[RBW] Re: Sunglasses

I'm biased, as longtime TIFOSI account manager...but the only way to find glasses that fit properly is to try them on one-by-one. Without standing before a display, actually fitting a frame before purchase is not the best way to go. All makers very likely have some frame that will fit your

Re: [RBW] Sunglasses

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. They last

Re: [RBW] Sunglasses

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

About brands in general, my fandom for Oakleys is well known here and not a recommendation that anyone buy the brand I like..I mean, why would I care about that?? The point is the technology of cycling-specific sunglasses (or clear) and why they can be a WAY better option than casual glasses on

I got a rad full suspension bike in Feb, which also happens to be the first bike I've ever ridden that has disc brakes. I took it out to some downhill trails for it's second ride, and was probably being too enthusiastic because of how amazing my new bike felt, so I was going fast and taking

I wear Oakley's with transition lenses and a progressive prescription. Great eye coverage, and they get really dark. It took me a few rides to get used to the distortion at the very edges, but now I don't notice it. I always wear a cycling cap under my helmet, regardless of how hot it is,
