In this video I talk about expensive cycling glasses and whether it's worth the money...
Link to buy the OM Hawk Glasses:
I have been using these glasses and cycling helmet for training for over a month and they've been really good!
Basic Pros of expensive glasses:
1. Very comfortable (35g)
2. Great UV protection
3. Superb optics and unobscured vision
Basic Cons of expensive glasses:
1. They're expensive.... Durh
2. Glasses do get knocked about a bit and lost! So it's a potentially expensive loss!

I use Rockbros photochromatic glasses. They cost under 10 gbp. I like that they don't get too dark and so you see very close to the natural light and colour of the environment. I did buy a 100+ gbp Ruby Project photocromatic glasses. I don't wear them. They get too dark for my liking. So I wasted my money there. Sometimes cheaper is better.

For several years I'd used Tifosi chromatic glasses , Recently I've purchased a pair of Oakley, I find they are a lot more comfortable on long rides they don't pinch just behind my ears & give a lot more sun protection ,in fact I don't notice that I have them on .They also keep bugs out of your eyes .

I've got some Julbo glasses - one 'Reactiv' (photochromic) and one fixed polarised pair. They are superb in quality and fit, noticeably clearer lenses than cheaper glasses I've tried.

For cycling I use a pair of Siroko K3 which sit nicely and are super lightweight. More recently for running I tried a pair of glasses from Goodr and these are good for the money, but don't quite fit as tightly.

I use DeWalt Reinforcer Indoor / Outdoor Lens Safety Specs from Screwfix, £5.49, 99.9% uv protection, anti scratch, anti fog etc etc, they’re absolutely fine, cheap to replace if broken or lost, very sturdy although I’ve misplaced 2 pairs in the past

That’s actually a really good idea! Makes perfect sense and likely to be way more robust than non safety specs

My Oldest glasses are Oakley so old I can’t remember the model. I have loads more but a pair I do like are my Smiths. Can’t remember the model but it was a women’s design and several hundred pounds. I did end up having to get bi-focal prescription ones but just went for cheaper EyePod Hawks because my prescription changes so much. I don’t really like them I have a white and black pair but when they needed parts and I ordered the sets of inserts for my next prescription they sent me all new glasses in cases with full sets of five lenses so can’t complain. I’ve just gotten a pair of Oakley Sutro Kokoro and see the difference after wearing the cheaper glasses night and day.

Yeah I’d love to have some prescription glasses for cycling but my eyes are pretty poor so it’s been a challenge to get any that accept the lens 😛 the sutros are a great bit of kit

Yes that’s why I went for the lenses in front and they are great for a prescription that changes frequently but don’t look so good.

I have been riding with Rudy Project glasses with an Rx insert. I have a small face and (at the time I bought them) they had a pair for small faces. With the Rx, they were around $400, more than my everyday glasses. But worth it!

I own a pair of Oakley Jawbreaker Prizm and the piece of plastic that held the lens to the frame snapped due to wear and tear. Not very impressed with them to be honest as despite being good lenses the frames aren't great quality.

Invested in a pair of Oakley Jaw breakers with the road prism lenses. I've worn them less than 10 times riding and stupidly put them in the back of my jersey on a ride around the bay, they must have been in there for about 14 miles and the material has sanded a blind spot into the lense. Absolute waste of money

Yeah definitely. I’m yet to get a pair of prescription cycling glasses as most manufacturers don’t do my prescription… 😞
