Gradient lenses are tinted from the top down, so that the top of the lens is darkest. These lenses are good for driving, because they shield your eyes from overhead sunlight and allow more light through the bottom half of the lens so you can see your dashboard clearly.

Rick, the Optic Nerve sunglasses (the Banshee model is the one i have experience with, liked it so much i got 2 so I could have one with each tint and not muck with lenses) offer perscription in some models.

Other brands like Rudy Projec tdo too, but they cost 3 times as much.

Agreed on Ryders,

I like the Ryders, them and Optic Nerve offer great value for the cost. I used a pair of Ryders Tarmacs with a clear lens all winter, recently got a pair of their “aero” model cycling shades since it has one lens with no side frame and better peripheral vision, plus it came with several lenses. I commute by bike pretty much year round, and then on Sundays we ride like 5 or 70 miles, and the Ryders have always worked. They also have shrugged off branch hits to the face by overhanging trees and countless impacts with hapless insects.

I wear glasses. I’m too lazy to wear contacts. Any suggestions? I don’t mind looking like a dork.

Jay, they’re not polarized. And yes, they’ve got small hydrophilic rubber inserts in the part that goes over your ears. Why does that “kill” glasses for you?

1) polarized?
2) do temples have rubber? If not, then that’s a real cycling glasses. Rubber temples kill the glasses for me, esp if I use them ONLY for cycling.
