 You could get oakleys for that! clicky

 They've been in the Madison brochure for ages I'm sure! I quite like the Havik for an on the bike pair of glasses, although I'd sooner have Oakleys.
|

 You could buy Oakleys for that but the reviews of the Giro range are very positive and Cycling Plus commented "we didn't feel cheated wearing a pair of Haviks instead of the more fashionable Radars" and MBUK said "a good Oakley alternative that's helmet friendly".

 I'd rather get bolle safety glasses than those things...though they do bear an uncanny resemblance to another manufacturers glasses don't they/

 Zeiss certfied lenses are never gonna be cheap. The Spesh adaptalite range aren't much different cost wise are they? IMHO optical quality in riding glasses is a priority - cheap lenses invariably distort your vision when stationary let alone at speed.
|
|
True, i did pay nearly £80 for my spesh halftime adaptalites... but i was drunk
|
|
But do you now view them as a waste of money?
|
|
definately not, with hindsight i would have got them cheaper online, but adaptalite thing makes them useless for off the bike, but was a godsend at the mega

 Just had the hinge on my oakley titanium spike's fail for the 2nd time ... so much for decent build quality from the big O... am sending the fecking things back again Grrr, My X-metal romeo's way more robust but not great fit with all cycling lids.. was considering the spesh adaptalites - they any good?
|
|
 I bought BBB adaptalight glasses, cheaper than the Specialized and Oakelys and work just as well. It's not a fashoin parade.
|
|
 I have a pair of spesh adaptalites and find them excellent for riding, but they do make you look like a pretentious tosser if worn off the bike. I do occasionally wear them when driving, and can see people snigering at me (although with an inferior lens I may not have spotted that reaction).

 tHEY DON'T MAKE SPESH BIG ENOUGH TO FIT MY MELON, HAD TO BUY oAKLYES INSTEAD. i DON'T LIKE THOSE gIROS.

No comment on the model name "Semi"? You are slipping DK.
|

Cheers DK - also have a large cranium so looks like that may rule the spesh shades out .. Oakley do seem to provide a better fit for those of a larger noggin...

you're right there nick
good review of the Havik's on roadcyclinguk.com - BM review to follow when Mike's back from hols

 Nothing at all to do with image but Oakley are the only glasses I seem to get on with. I've tried all sorts and always either end up with a headache from the lenses being crumby (reflected light = migraine for me) or fit really badly.
Worst was a pair of those Briko things. Squeaked like a mouse.
Half jackets on the bike and Gascans off. Can't go wrong.
