Sunglasses recommendation

HardyEustace

Hi guys,
I just bought a pair of Northwave Fly sunglasses from wiggle. Now they were a little different to how they look in the picture. In aesthetic terms I was expecting a pearlised plastic pair, something that looked like an Oakley finish. It's more of a transparent plastic.

However, that aside, I took them out for a trial run on the bike last night. They are so comfortable, you wouldn't even notice them on your little nose.

I'd recommend them for people with a small face (like me). They're a great fit.

I've an enormous head (no really) but they were a very comfortable fit.

could anyone recommend a pair of sunglasses for running specifically? not too dark lensed in the mid range price. Regular size head!

These glasses would be perfect for running as well. (and no I don't work for wiggle or Northwave!):D

Damn you. Haven't you heard about the recession? Stop making me buy things I don't need.
I'll finally be able to give my son back his ski sunglasses.

Ah, I too suffer from having a narrow pygmyface but I don't have a huge head. Are the arms particularly long? I've found in the past that some are a bit too long and go way back on my head.

What with all this sun I've been wanting to get a pair, at that price it might be worth taking a chance on them. Are there different lens colours with them or do you pick one, I'm not sure from what it says on the site.

My huge head is at the back, my ears are near the front IYKWIM so the arms are just a nice size. They don't "wrap" around your head.

With the sunglasses I recommended the lens are not interchangeable but they have other makes available that are. (I'm now eyeing those up <<sigh>> lotto win needed for more junk/NO erm, I mean, really useful stuff that I couldn't possibly train or race with out... ahem).

For £11.89 you could get a couple of pairs for colour coordination purposes! I got a free pair of DHB glasses from wiggle with their refer a friend scheme, which I really like
