Looking good! I have the Roka GP-1x and they do the same. Great optics, truly light AF. Made me say goodbye to Oakleys.

Velochampion Vortex or Warp - I have both in the UK - inexpensive and fit well with good lenses. The Warps got chewed by the dog but still work. The Vortex are great with a variety of lenses - cost £20-30. Would never spend money on Oakleys…don’t think they are significantly better and I would be bound to lose them at a cafe stop or sit on them! 
I suspect I will break the mould. I use £10 Bolle saftey glasses picked up from a hardware store (Screwfix in the UK). I have a few of them. One type have a slight tint, the other are tinted. Cost nothing. Do not care if they are scratched when I wipe with gloved hands (but I never seem to) and I do not care if they are scratched by a stone flying up or crud from a mates wheel. Last for ages. Certainly get a couple of seasons out of a set. Very comfortable. Used them for about 4 years now. Excellent. Good quality lenses.
I really do not understand spending over £100 on sunglasses that will get scratched and trashed, but each to their own…
I wear contact lenses underneath them for cycling.

Keeping this going. I’ve been really eyeing the Rokas, especially the prescreiption ones since i’m currently using my regular prescription glasses to cycle.
I’m in Canada, so the cost and the exchange make them quite pricey. I also didnt time it too well and i’ve got my regular glasses ive got to change to i can’t claim them on my benefits.
I guess i gotta see it more as a multi-year investment ? lol
I saw that a few people have them here @Seamonster @SamMose @JuanitoCrow @stevemz @JeffKaz @RichardS now that it’s been a few months / year… how do you like them?
I have the Roka Barton in polarized form for casual wear, and surprisingly, they have been one of my favorite pairs of sunglasses I’ve owned.

$25USD or $35CAD (shipped from either US or Canadian (QC) distribution outlets which is huge for duties and turnaround time).
Inexpensive, non-slip rubberized coating, equipped with extremely clear and polarized lens options. Apart from latex tubes, these glasses have been my favourite upgrade this year 
I’ve had my go at a number of cycling specific frames/lenses in the past, but like most things ‘cycling’ they’re prone to falling or being trampled on at some point… These are a great and fun worry-free solution IMO.

Have been riding Roka GP1-x for over a year. Zero issues. Really a can’t-miss frame and optics.

Including the makeup and hair?
I’ve had my phantom aviators with prescription photochromatic lenses for a year and a half. Love them, and use them for everything!
Also, I had a bad bike crash early last year, which destroyed the original glasses, but roka offered a 50% off crash replacement to get me back out there.
Oakley Evzero Stride Prizm Jade Gamma
Bought on sale from Wiggle. Absolutely amazing for bike and run, as there is no frame there is no obstruction to the field of view in aero positions.
I saw the Oakley video (think it was Oakley factory visit by GCN), read the horror stories online and immediately retired my training ‘fakely’ glasses. Invest in a pair with impact and shatter protection so you don’t end up losing an eye, its just not worth the extra £80
I am still rocking my Rokas. Best cycling sunglasses ever used IMO, and I have had many brands. I do not have prescription lenses as a note.
I accidentally learned the most important metric for me when buying sunglasses is weight. I say accidentally because I used to wear cycling specific sunglasses (Oakley flight jackets and two other I forget their names) and one day I forgot them and had to wear my regular sunglasses and oh was I surprised when I realized how much more comfortable this pair was. These must be a however many grams lighter that over the course of a couple of hours ride made such a big difference. Despite not looking as cool or being as apparently “aerodynamic” the feeling of not feeling like you’re wearing sunglasses is unmatched. Plus not having marks on your nose when you complete your ride also adds to the “cool” factor.
I recently changed to the Scott Shield LS from the Kask Koo.
-They are frameless with an unobstructed field of vision similar to 100% Hypercrafts but, a larger shield. If you have a small face these would probably be too large.
-The lens is either photochromatic or regular. My shop gave me a photochromatic pair to try and so far under sunny to variably cloudy/in and out of shade they work well enough that I didn’t notice anything (good). Hope to use them in super low light conditions this week.
-The frame is very soft and really comfortable over the ears. Soft meaning they bend a ton without cracking/breaking so, perhaps these will wear well over time. The nosepiece is adjustable as well which really matters (IMO) how the lens fits and circulation of air behind the leans especially during high speed descending.
-$119 USD for photochromatic and $89 for the regular pair.

I was tired of constant slipping down and fogging of my Chinese jawbreakers. This was especially annoying during hard intervals.
I recently bought a pair of **Oakley Sutro black ink/Prizm jade **. They are awesome; the fit is perfect, they look great and there is no slipping. I would highly recommend!
Current wearing these:
POCs - like them very much, comfy and easy to keep clean but I’ve dropped them a few times and the lenses are now scuffed. Have some spare lenses but they have a yellow tint I don’t like.
Particularly like the wide lens that increases effective field of view between the rim edges and they work well in bright light and equally allow good ‘contrast’ of features on the road on lower light scenarios.
Have ordered a pair of these:
Great value at only £25 - but will need to wait on delivery to check out the quality and usability etc.

Oakley Sutro and Jawbreaker. And just got these 100% Glendale’s that I’ll be wearing early tomorrow morning for the first time.

I’ve been wearing jawbreakers w/ the prizm road lense for about 4 years. No complaints, I think they’re great.
Does anybody have experience w/ the prizm trail lense? I’m wondering if there’s a noticeable difference to get that lense for MTB.

The Prizm Trail lens is great for mountain biking and also gravel riding. However if there is heavy tree cover and the light is becoming more limited, then they can be a little too dark. I wore them for Leadville last year and they were absolutely perfect for those conditions. I also really like them on days when riding gravel in sunny conditions.
For heavy tree covered trails, or later in the day rides as shadows grow longer, my new favorite is the Prizm Low Light (Oakley PRIZM™ Lens Technology | Oakley Official US)) I noticed during some of the XC World Cup races last season some of the pro’s, like Kate Courtney, had them on. They haven’t gotten much attention with the Prizm Roads and Trails getting most of the hype. I picked up a set and have been using them a lot this year for XC riding but also for cloudy days on the gravel bike.
Oakley’s photochromic lenses are also solid for mountain biking in variable light conditions. They adjust pretty quickly but don’t have the “Prizm” technology.

I like the Goodr glasses as well- bought them for running and found they were pretty decent for cycling. I’m on a fairly tight budget and somewhat prone to losing stuff so couldn’t really justify one of the more expensive brands. Also pretty acceptable for everyday wear

Anybody know what glasses Tom Dumoulin is wearing at the Dauphine? Or what brand Jumbo Visma wears?
