Guys,

Im looking for a set of sunglasses for on the bike, but i've one specific look-out/request.

I need glasses that dont pinch behind the ears, where the 'legs' dont squeeze either side of ur head.

Ive a set of everyday 'oakley square wire' glasses, but if i wear them while out on a walk the pinch/sqeeze behind my ears actally gives me a head ache.

Any recommendations?

Your best bet wold be the try before you buy, so a visit to a local sports emporium would allow you to fit them, if they match the online purchase price you are sorted..

I bought a pair of endura glasses for my dad who is very fussy and he put them on and forgot about them, this was a fluke though.

Are the lenses shatter proof tho? I thought thats the point of getting glasses specially for cycling.

Open to correction tho.

I'll check my own as they are. They have to take a plastic bb at 328 fps. But the Linked ones are polycarbonate so they are very strong. I ha've taken a bb to mine with no crack. Bolle are available in.most hardware stores

I don't know what glasses you normally wear, but I find Oakley (Radar and M-frame) extremely comfortable. No doubt it also depends very much on the shape and size of your head though!
