New Sunnies Review

With summer coming I felt it was time to invest in a new pair of Cycling Sunglasses. The sun is stronger at this time of the year and my eyes are almost 50 years old. I remember an old cycle buddy I once rode with telling me that his two cataracts could be directly attributed to the amount of sun glare they absorbed during cycling on all those bright summer days in his mid forties.

With this in mind I started to do some research and the basic oakley type of glasses were highly recommended by my chums at the club but on investigation no one could really say for certain why they were the ones they had and it seems like they were just following each other like sheep. Back to the drawing board..

I spent some time online reading through all the cycle webs and it appeared that Polarized Sunglasses were going to be a better choice. They work differently to normal un-polarized sunglasses as the glare is simply bounced back off the lens and away from the eye. I read on that most of the top tour cyclist use these kind of glasses too and if it’s good enough for Lance and co then its got to be good enough for me too!!

With this in mind I moved onto phase three of my project and went and had a look and was surprised at the range of Polarized Sunglasses that are available. I decided to purchase a pair of Vector 99 P7007A at a modest £74.99..

Now where did I put that bike ???
