Being the optimistic person I am.. Ok, actually I'm stupidly bored on this windows course :)
I need a new pair of sunglasses for 2014. For the previous 3 seasons (aka, my whole cricket career), I have used GN ones that you swap shades with light enhancing bits.. I'm on the look out for some slightly better quality glasses but hopefully still able to have normal shades and light enhancing aspects.
What would you guys suggest? I'm looking for some pretty standard looking shades, nothing outlandish and as they'll be used for sport I'm not overly interested in spending mega bucks just to say 'it's x brand'.

I use the sunwise glasses that Paul @ IJC sells. Best glasses I've used and only £30

Go for Oakleys mate.
I've got the radars and can't recommend them highly enough
Also worth a look are te Flak Jackets or Jawbones (think they're now called racing jackets)
They might not be cheap but they're worth it!

do you need separate ones for normal and light enhancing??
-
I've got the Oakley flak jackets with Polarised lenses. Cannot recommend them enough!
Look for VR28 OR G30 lenses. (I think they're the best for highlighting reds on green might be G20)
-

As MD2812 has suggested you can get one lens for all conditions.
I've got the VR28 which enhances red on green and it top drawer. Used them when overcast conditions and when the sun is out with no problem.
I've also got a 2nd pair with grey & yellow lenses which I used last year. Yellow ones for £20 off eBay for darker conditions, and the out the box grey for the 2 days a year the sun is out. They're easy enough to chane if ou go down the 2 lens route.

Huum...
I like the idea of not having to change lenses.. well, what I mean is I like the idea of not losing them. Might be needing a trip to a Oakleys shop then.. best see if there is one in Manchestaaaaar
-
the oakley radarlocks are great, really easy to change the lenses as well
-
I think my lenses are G30s. I've found them really good for Red/Green contrast.
-
Oakleys maybe pricey, but they're worth it!
I've got two pairs of Radars and they're so good!
You pay for the quality

i ve got jawbones and theyre amazing!! i think theyre racing jacket as well however i think the racing jacket come with a removable band to hold them on... but im not sure as they were making both jawbone and racing jacket simultaneously.
its also worth spending a tad more and getting polarised they're great when on a bright day and you're under a high catch

Can only echo what other have said re Oakley. I've had my Radars for almost 4 years and wouldn't want anything else, even converted my parents to get some each.
-
Brought a set of oakleys today from owzat-cricket wouldn't buy any other brand
-
The oakley outlet at gunwarf quays were selling radars for £49 yesterday

Oakley square 5's mate, perfect for cricket and also social use as well £120 odd with polarised lenses I picked mine up for and that was from Oakley at Bluewater so no doubt via outlet or online you could get them cheaper.

It depends on your budget. Sunwise are an excellent brand, outstanding value for money. Oakleys are obviously good, I managed to get mine for free (the single biggest bit of luck I've ever had, cause they were £230 custom ones!), but if you don't want to be paying three figures then sunwise is the way to go!

Oakleys it is. Anyone from manc area know a local shop to visit ? Got the evenings free while on this course :(
-
The Sunwise are great value and look good too. We stock a good selection from the range, but if its Oakleys you are after, then I would suggest you look at www.fashioneyewear.co.uk (http://www.fashioneyewear.co.uk)

Try cycling websites for oakleys. Always found them the cheapest

I personally use Oakley Radars with the enhancing lens, Great for cricket & golf
-
I've got a pair of sunwise and for anyone like me that doesn't wear them much and therefore objects to paying for oakleys they're great. Easily changeable lenses and really comfy.
Having said that if I had the spare money to spend I'd buy oakleys.
-
M Frames all the way, not as available as they used to be though.

I can post it out for you Tushar , but if memory serves me right it's cheaper coming from Ireland.
-
Would recommend Sunwise Equinox for anyone who is a bit like me, frequently misplaces or breaks sunnies. £25 with inter changeable lenses (which i never bother to change) is a great price
-
anyone know a good site for buying lenses?
Preferably US based as they're much cheaper over there and I can get them posted over.
