I bought Oakley scrips about three months ago, and I really, really, really like them. They look a little Oakley, but they also disappear when I'm wearing them, if you know what I mean -- I forget I have them on. I did spend quite a bit on the lenses -- progressive and photochromic (transitional)

Nice thing about the Rudy's is that the nosepiece is adjustable. All the riding glasses I've tried with fixed nosepieces rested too close to my face, against my cheekbones, brushed by my lashes and so on. I'm pretty lukewarm on the inserts, though. I get a lot of dazzle over the top of them when

For us Minnie-sohh-tens, 27 and sunny is a pretty balmy winter's day. Like "woo-hoo, shirt sleeves" balmy. Even "oh, look, some oddballs in shorts" balmy. After a few weeks of subzero (Fahrenheit) temps, 27 is downright spring-like. I get a chuckle out of most "winter" cycling clothing. Win

Living in NorCal, 27 and sunny is something I will never encounter. 27 only happens before sunrise on our coldest mornings. It got down to 15 here once. In 1989 or so. Havoc ensued. Broken pipes, cracked engine blocks, much trauma. I was working in a unheated tin-roofed building, and there was

< it remains to be seen if they will give me enough protection to prevent tearing up in cold weather.> for what it's worth: I accidently left my aforementioned Rudy's at work last night and so I rode in this morning with my regular glasses with some lightweight goggles over them. It was about 27

Before my cataract surgeries (and the complications that followed) I was very nearsighted and had significant astigfmatism., I wore monovision contacts and inexpensive tinted safety glasses from Lowe's for cycling. It was cheaper than buying dedicated cycling shades with inserts, and I wasn't par

I have a pair of Rudy Projects, and they take an insert. My lenses are trifocals, and I'm pretty sure the reading correction is in the 2.00 range. I love them. I have three different outer lenses in orange, transitional, and green polarized so I can ride in any light. Use them in all four season
