I am a cyclist who enjoys a long ride - but I also like to see where I’m going! I use varifocals for everyday wear. I’m Uk based and looking to buy a decent pair of cycling glasses with prescription lenses.
I’ve got a lovely pair of Oakley radars but they are one lens so vari is out of the question for those.
So a few questions
What are you using ? Single / vari vision lens
Do they work well?
Polarised or not?
Are the expensive oakleys really worth it
Would love to hear your advice - particularly Uk residents
I’ve been on this search since my Adidas lease with inserts eventually died a death after probably 10years of abuse and just kept getting the inserts reglazed when my prescription changed.
www.rxsport.co.uk was also the main place which I had saved having the best selection. There are cheaper ones on Amazon etc that will supply the insert for you to then take to your local optician. My local optician’s have a selection of sports glasses but the options are limited and more expensive.
Another company I have saved is www.sportsglasses.online. I think I was looking at about £300 for some there.
I’ve got Tifosi Veloce. I’ve had them a couple of years so not sure if they’re still available. I thought the lenses might be on the small side to cope with varifocals. But they’re absolutely fine. I can see where I’m going and read my Garmin!!
I use a single vision aviator style glass from an online company called Zenni. I, don’t like the inserts that i have tried. I find that the peripheral vision is obscured. The aviator style is a large enough lense that I find it has plenty of wind protection. Zenni have decent quality for a very low price so i have multiples.
Sorry for the late reply. Similar issue here, except that it’s depth precision for me, which is a tad an issue when doing an alpine descent.
For me the Rudy Sports “Propulse” work great for me (and the “Rydon” before that). Here in the USA, just upload the prescription and a week later you got them custom made.
