Hi everyone! I’ve been cycling for years now, spent 5 years in Paris cycling without eye protection. But since I moved to London, I’ve felt the need to protect my eyes from the wind and humid air. I’m currently using a copy of the 100% S2 (these) I had found on eBay. But when I cycle in winter over 20mn I tend to have to close one eye to avoid arriving at my destination with my eyes very dry and/or crying. It’s manageable but quite tiring.
I’ve just bought a pair of Decathlon Perf 500 (these) and while a tiny bit better my eyes still suffer from the cold wet air.
Is it because I haven’t found the right pair that would suit my eyes, or do I need in an expensive pair if glasses?
I’m seriously considering some kind of ski mask or closed off goggles, even if I’d look like a donkey lol
Any advice would be great!
Using safety glasses as well after I read a claim that cycling glasses and safety glasses are the same thing, one sold for 10, the other for 30 Euros. Never looked back, and told everyone who’d listen.
Yeah, pretty much. I’ve seen some cycling glasses as high as $200CAD. Absolutely absurd markup for tinted plastic.
