Does anyone else want glasses that don't make you look like you've been crushing Natty Ice all day?

These don’t matter to me one way or another, I ride with prescription. But “dice” and “respect” are just icky names for sunglasses.

I’m actually digging the Grey orange pair… but I do tend to try to look ridiculous to distract from my horrible riding and line choices….

I think they're 100% percent worth the price.
When you know what i mean, so how much effort do you give about those KLs glasses?

I have a question. Why are all the sunglasses so expensive? I have been riding in ten-dollar safety glasses from Amazon for the past three years and I want to upgrade but my wallet doesn't agree with me.

Photochrom lenses are pretty clutch if you ride in a variety of light conditions.

Otherwise it’s just for looks like anything mate

They give you more comfort, lighter, more breathable, more durable, to adapt to almost any cycling condition. If you are new to cycling, it is best to buy a cheaper one to save money reasonably

See my post above. There is no inherent reason why sunglasses are expensive. They are very very cheap to manufacture. Want photochromatic lenses? Rock Bros - $23 on Amazon.

@KJP1230: lens quality can’t be the same, but I have no idea. Have only ever had overpriced glasses

@nvranka: @KJP1230 I have the same, they do the job. BUT they are a tiny bit blurry, perhaps the lenses aren't as good or the quality isn't as consistent. My reference would my my 'hiking/mountaineering' Julbos, which weren't as scratchproof as I wanted them to be but there's little to no distortion.

Either way I'm fine with the cheapos for MTB, but them again if I ever get a sponsor it'll be AmazonBasics, so you know...to each their own.

Why aren't there more biking glasses available with snap in prescription inserts? I want cool glasses too, but I can't see without RX lenses and I don't want to pay Oakley prices ($400-$500 per pair). What gives. No love for the RX world.

I think Madison glasses have snap inserts and are about £25 for the glasses themselves.
Failing that, look at Revision, ESS.
You can get them surplus pretty easily.

@thatguy404: Madison? You mean these guys madisoneyewear.com , I'm not seeing anything relevant. As for Revision, kind of, but not nearly as fashionable as Oakley, Ritchey Project, Native, etc. I want cool colorful RX for under $300. For what it's worth, though, RX safety glasses have crossed my mind for mountain biking.

@SuperHighBeam:
The model is called madison enigma.
They sell then with single lense or 3 lense kits. Their website is trash, but got mine through freewheel.co.uk

Not sure who your importer would be.

@thatguy404: Hm. Not bad. Perhaps a little cheaper quality than I'd prefer but can't deny the price is attractive.

Like the design. Hate the company logo design. I would like to try one of those if they don't have signed this giant logo on sunglass frame.

What I just cannot get comfortable with is how eyewear that is $1-4 in manufactured, landed cost (I'm also looking at you Oakley, Smith, etc.) can go for $75-250. These are not eyewear companies, they are marketing companies. They charge enormous sums for cheap-to-make, commodity items, and use much of that margin to advertise to us to convince us to pay $75-250 for the glasses in the first place.

Rock Bros Photochromatic Sunglasses - $23 on Amazon. They look reasonably cool, they're durable and the lenses change from tinted to clear depending on sun exposure. Cheap enough to toss around and put away dirty.

And people are worried that its tight pants in DH racing that will negatively affect the image of the sport....

Oh yeah , those dark mirror lenses are sure going to work really well for mountain biking ...in the forest...where its dark and shady

I want the off-white/red Dice for road riding so I tried to look them up, but it seems Kelly's doesn't sell in the USA. That's unfortunate.
