  • asm Why do you want sunglasses in this godawful weather anyway?

    I want low tint/clearish ones:

    • to stop my eyes watering in the cold air, or when I'm doing more than 40mph downhill.
    • to protect my eyes from particles, insects, or grit thrown up by traffic. There are cases of lost eyesight amongst cyclists, and I know someone who suffered pretty severe ocular trauma out on the road.
    • to enhance contrast so that I've got more chance of making out road irregularities at speed in suspect/changeable light coditions.
    • to stop me squinting, or my eyes drying out, giving me pensioner's eyes in my boyish face :p

    I s'pose it could turn into one of those helmet debate type threads...
