 You haven't mentioned distortion - does anyone else have a real problem with this? I've bought cheap wiggle glasses that made me feel like my head was a foot higher than my body....I've just got some spesh Berm ones that seemed OK til I started riding and found they magnify everything, so I get boggle eyed when riding My Spesh Shiftys were perfect. No distortion, no maginification. Til I broke em. So I bought the last pair of shiftys in the UK, which Royal Mail have very kindly lost. So if you have any Shiftys you don't want let me know!

 I'm pretty sure I saw some in Bromley Bike a week or two ago & they're showing as available on their website. Give 'em a call to be sure though.

 I ride with Rudy Projects - expensive but great optics VERY comfortable and lite, with a photochromo lens. never had any issues with them

 Oakley, optically perfect! Love their goggles, and have been riding in M frames for years. You only have one pair of eyes, so treat them with a bit of respect

Tekk you're so right...I too bought a cheap pair from Wiggle and they had the same twisted effect. It's weirdest when I take them off and suddenly feel about two foot shorter and on a completely different bike... The other factor is that the frames get in the way when I'm on my road bike (yes yes, wrong forum I know) - but when I'm on the drop handlebars the top of the frame is exactly in my field of vision so I have to tilt my head further back than is comfortable and look up over the frames, which gives me a cricked neck and headache within about five minutes. Bad design!

hi all,
anyone got any tips for what lenses for hard shadows.
I find i really struggle on bright days riding through trees - the harsh shadows from the trees with really strong light make it very difficult to judge what is a lump in the trail and what is an optical effect - It's almost like riding in a strobe light, and I can even start to get dizzy with it, any lenses to reduce contrast?

 You'll never get glasses to suit all conditions.......bright sunlight into dark shade is impossible to deal with. I just slip the shades down so I can see over the top of em.

Gav Yellow lens, they really light up the woods, and reduce glare in the open.
