Nighttime Riding Glasses... do you wear them?

If you have a bit of a saddle to bar drop. For teh aeros. But dont have a massively flexible neck. Oakley Radar XL are awesome. A mix between a the retro 80s look of of Radars, and snooker glasses. So its a special look. But they do stop light and wind sneeking over the top of your sunglasses.

Mine have striaght arms which fit nicely inside of my helmet straps, as well as a winter hat. Without causing a draft to my ears.

Fuck da rulez.

You want persimon for night riding.

I dunno. I moved away from yellow lenses a while back, preferring the 'more light' option. Does the lens tint actually make a noticeable difference? I need to try some pairs on methinks.

Radar Path with Clear Vented lens?

yar. I swap between black irridium and yellow all the time - takes 2 seconds. Pretty much the one bit of kit of don't think about ever - which is about as good an endorsement as is possible I guess.

Not sure you could claim to see in the dark with them. But I find my eyes getting less tired over the course of a long ride.

I guess I do more biking around snow then most. A bit of a tint helps pick out details, and prevents white-out from a powerful light.

My younger brother refers to these as "homo-glasses" ....

i refer to them as paedo glasses.

I wore these out once for a night ride in Swinley Forrest.

I've ordered some Salclear TT and some Salclear TT-X to test on my cheap and cheerful clear lenses before pulling the trigger on anything else. I'm curious to see if a coating can help reduce the fog and rain drops that hang around and if it can, for how long before my acid sweat of death stops it functioning.

Expensive?*

Both bottles and two microfibre clothes from Amazon was ~£17, about 70p more than ordering the same stuff direct from Salclear. I should have the stuff within 5 days and then I'm going to try and treat one side only to see how it compares with untreated. Because science.

What if you sweat asymmetrically like the hipster you are?

Just ordered a clear lens for my Giro Attack helmet.

At least I think I did.

Nowhere, except one shop, had stock. So i'm expoecting said shop to simply have rubbish stock control. Which is usually th case.

Winter weather seems to lag heavily after the sun returns up here. So when spring riding weather gets here, its already light untill late at night. So its more of a prep for next autumm.

Need them though. Life as a wheelsucker is hard when the road is wet, and your eyes arent covered.

RESURRECTIONPOST

I am looking at getting some new glasses for on the bike use, toying with the idea of Transition lenses (don't hate) anyone know how light/ dark they go in real world situations?
Also, is it either light or dark, or is there a middle ground for overcast days?

Thanks

Mine go from completely clear to fairly dark, depending on how much the sun is shining. I don't need anything darker in full bright sun, and happily use them in the dark.

Transition lenses will go as dark as the colour/ shade you chose. They don't (in the real world) entirely go clear though you'd normally have to take them off to notice. And yes they fade from clear to dark depending on the light. Certain glass (eg car windows) block the light that triggers the change so there are a few situations where they don't work.

Thanks interneteers!
