Used Bloc Stealths for years but the lenses are now scratched to fook and rather than getting replacement lenses I thought I might try sommat different.

Endura Stingrays any good? Other recommendations?........................and don't bother with Oakleys, I've got better things to spend the Greenville Millions on and I don't spend hours looking at meself in the mirror to see how 'cool' I look as 'coolness' comes from within.

I've got some Madison D'arcs which are okay but my faves are Spesh Helix adaptalite jobbies. Not cheap but the optical quality's bang on & they're usable in most conditions.

How about Briko? the lens quality is good (as good as Oakley some say?). I used them before I afford Oakleys, £60ish and come with 3 lenses for different light conditions. A bit Robocop but do a good job.

Check out this dude. Though it appears that these particular ones only come with two lenses these days.

get some Spesh ones....I have the adaptalite ones and they are the tits on toast. Bright sun, in the forest on a dark day - they seem to just work and keep the light even. Quick to defog, no distortion on the optics, mmmmm great

Don't know about other manufacturers but I found Oakley's scratch-proof lens claim to be absolute bollocks.

Spesh ones didn't fit my fat noggin last time I tried them, dissapointing as they look and felt good.

Greenville, just sell one of your children to fund some Oakleys.

Karlos, which ones did you try? Alex Woodhead's chicanes were crazy tight on me, but my halftime adaptalite's are spot on.

I say get some spesh ones, the only downside is the price and they look naff off the bike

Yep, Spesh ones, I think they're really quite good.

I think it was the Chicanes. Don't matter now though, I'm in the market for some new ones and they'll be Oakleys.

Karlos, I've a fat head too which is one reason I got the Helix which are actually meant for roadies & have a darker lens than the mtb ones. They seem to come up quite different depending which model you look at.

Edit: Don't worry then you tart.
