[NSC] How much do you spend on SUNGLASSES ?

[Barham's tash]

Out of interest, why are people trying to shoot mountain bikers in the eyes?

Mainly because we’re such twats I expect Bozza.

 

[Barham's tash]

Where in the middle east? I'm in Saudi and HAVE to wear sunglasses everyday

Im moving to Doha.

Might need to PM you for some cultural dos and don’ts.

 

[mothy]

£15

 

[HyperTony]

Has anybody invested in the Ray-ban Smart glasses. They look totally pointless so i'm very interested

 

[LamieRobertson]

£22.99 for driving bought 5 years ago
and £29.99 for cycling fairly recently

 

[BN9 BHA]

It wouldn't surprise me given the rage everyone seems to have with cyclists.

This thread was started by a drunken cyclist that had lost his sunglasses

Sure no worries. I was in Doha last weekend, i am about a 3.5 hour drive from Doha. Very nice place.

I would not spend more than about £40. Under £20 and the quality and protection drops off quickly, over £40 and it hurts like hell when you get pissed in a pub beer garden and forget them.

The pain is worth it.

mmm, they are not really sunglasses as such, but prescription glasses.
I am blind as bat and now bifocals are required, with anti glare plus light reaction so turn to sunglasses in the light and to that the lens needed to be as thin as they can go otherwise they look thick as feck.
I did not like anything really on offer design wise, so purchased some Rayban sunglasses and had them adapt them about £850.00 in total that was two years ago now and I need them changing in the spring.

Got a classically styled pair of tortoiseshell Persols that cost a fair few quid but my day to day sunnies to battle the Riyadh sun are Meller - cheap enough to lose and damage but decent lenses. Always buy multiple for discount!

This is one thing I love about rockabillies, forever stylish!

 

[BrightonCottager]

I lost my prescription sunglasses and got some replacements made that I don't really like as much, so bought some clip-ons to go over my Cubitt prescription glasses that work very well and (I think) look OK. £65.

I'm thinking of getting some prescription cycling sunglasses. Can anyone recommend a good brand / system; I know some come with replaceable tinted lenses for different light conditions. Ta.

Ha, I am not sure if you are taking the piss Mr Tubthumper

I used to be in the riyadh sun, I here it is raining there now, but I moved to Khobar sun this year.

 

[Wes Tupper]

All of my sunglasses have small inbuilt reading panels, as I’m long-sighted. All are very inexpensive. Brands include Urbanium and Voltx.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Ha, I am not sure if you are taking the piss Mr Tubthumper

Not at all. It's a sincere compliment.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I lost my prescription sunglasses

Herr Tubthumper waves ostentatiously and furiously from one foot away "Hey Cottager, over here mate!"

 

[maffew]

Mine enable me to ogle various passing strumpets whilst supposedly looking in a vaguely different direction.

Won't be long and you'll no doubt be able to see people naked/deep faked real time with smart glasses, I saw Harvard students already made something with face recognition in them which can tell you strangers names, address, full bio just by looking at them. Rather scary really

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

The beauty of dark-glasses is you can stare at people and do this with your immagination. Why would I need this tech?
