Photochromatic riding glasses advice

[squashyo]

I lost my beloved Uvex SGL 202 Varios (brown lens) Friday. These glasses were awesome but hella expensive (I got them by winning a thing Magura put on). Anyhow, I can't see dropping $160 for another pair of these babies. Anyone have a line on a good pair of photochromatic glasses that don't get too dark in the sun, don't fog up easy, and are comfortable?

Check out some of the Tifosi's at REI. I've never used their photochromatics (only regular), but the reviews seem ok, they have a number of different styles/models, they offer a good bang for the buck, and if you really don't like them after you've tried them out, you can fall back on REI's satisfaction guarantee.

+1 for tifosi. You can find deals on UVEX stuff online, and customer service is really good. Send em an email about sending yours in, maybe?

I also think the house brand scattante/performance glasses are made by tifosi.

How about one of the less expensive UVEX photochromatic glasses, like the active vario or the sphere vario?
Buy UVEX SPHERE VARIO from the official MAGURA Direct Online Shop
2013 Active Vario

I'm getting some 202 varios for christmas and can't wait to try em out!

Hmm, my prescription lenses and frames are really good, photochromatic and all. "Michael Kors mk354" They don't fog, but don't have a lot of wrap around either.

Rudy Projects can frequently be found for a good deal. I've found 40% off pro deal coupons by looking around on the Internet in the past.

Maybe I'll check in and see if they'll hook me up. One thing I found with the Uvex glasses is that the smoke was way too dark for forest riding (at least for me). I returned the Smokes and got the brown lens and they were nothing short of excellent...so pissed that I lost them.

I love my Specialized glasses, lenses change quickly and you don't notice, good for everything from sun to deep shade, like at Demo. I've got a spare pair you can borrow if you want to try them out.

OK...merry Xmas to Josh. Lost my glasses building a trail Friday. Went back Saturday and walked the trail twice with no luck...gave up. Rained like mad Sunday. Went back and rode trail twice today with no luck...on a whim decided to ride trail one more time...sunglasses were smack dab right in the middle of the trail near bottom. Wow...still hope this thread helps someone.

I love my Specializes glasses too! Had them 3 years and they're getting pretty beat. Time to start thinking about buying a new pair. Unfortunatly Specialized no longer makes optics

I just my first pair and really like them. They replaced my Oakley radars which were more expensive , plus need 2 lens.
Happy so far and half the money
