Asking on the RBW list after having asked on the Boblist, in case this list has cycling glasses periti who don't read the Boblist.
I've been using 2 pr Tifosi shades. One is photochromatic, and that one seems to block the wind sufficiently to keep my eyes from turning red after 10 miles; it also stays put securely on my Asian-ish* nose. But this pair doesn't get dark enough for our mile-high sun in mid summer at noon -- when the light makes the Santa Monica boardwalk at summer noon feel like the winter solstice, and I'm not kidding. I use this pair on cloudy days and at night. The other pair is also Tifosi, and dark enough, and this is my go-to pair, but it doesn't block the wind sufficiently, and it doesn't stay on my nose. This pair may be older, as it was at least second hand, original source unknown. My eyes turn red, especially on windy days which kick up dust and pollen; out here, we don't have twee little green grass verges, the sides of the roads are gravel and sand. I realize that, after saddles and bars, shades are probably the most personal choice in riding kit, but can anyone, particularly anyone of east Asian ancestry, suggest some options? I'd happily ride bare-eyed, but again, dust and pollen and wind make that impractical.
