Amazon's price, less than £15 + postage. Really pleased with them as they are so light and give proper wrap around protection. |

I have a pair with three lens colours (black, yellow and clear) which I bought from Aldi for £2.99!! Been using them for about a year with no problems. If you have a store near you, there is another bike accessory sale starting on Sunday. I'm looking to get some more! The only thing with the glasses is that they tend to mist up when I stop moving. I don't know if more expensive ones do the same or not. Rob |

I have 4 pairs which I love, the best ones i have bought were from gooutdoors, £18 they fit nice and even have air holes in the side to let the air in and not steam up. they did only come with one coloured lens though |

I have a few pairs myself, one for cycling, one for wearing as sunny days and when there is an offer ususally buy a new pair and use the existing sun glasses for cycling. At that price, if you loose them or break them then you have not lost anything and they perform well in my opinion. |
