I have been living without a decent pair of sunglasses. I had my previous pair, a nice pair
of Bolle glasses, for 5 or 6 years. I was out on a ride and somehow dropped/lost them when I stop for a break. Lesson learned: never stop!
Anyhow after getting stung by a be flying into me while riding, I decided it would be a good idea to get another pair. I got a cheap $5 pair. They only sort of work. They protect my eyes from wind and sun… and flying insects. The problem is that they do nothing to protect against glare. Sometimes the make it tougher to see. You end up seeing a reflection of your eye in the lens. Not so helpful.
I just ordered a pair of Briko sunglasses. Briko is pretty well known for making edgy, top end athletic sunglasses. Sort of like Oakley used to be. Anyhow Nashbar had them on sale for $34, so I couldn’t pass it up. I will report back on how well they work.
How are these working out for you? I’m considering ordering a pair, looks like a great deal. How do they fit, do they seem like the would fit a larger head? I’m 6′5″ and 250 lbs. and some sunglasses I’ve purchased through Nashbar have been a little tight on my head.
Thanks for any info!
