Personally I use Polaroid Harbor Masters. I got mine from some Outlet
store for around $20. They are lightweight and sporty. Check these out: http://www.sunglassesgiant.com/seastwarusu.html I like the light tint of these and they just serve your purpose. Check out the whole line of Polaroids he http://www.sunglassesgiant.com/posu.html These sunglasses won't break your bank like Oaklies but I have to warn you, the lenses feel very thin, almost like plastic. They are kind of easy to bend as well but I use these for sport so I don't care. For $20 I feel if I break them, I can just get another. Btw - I've taken my Polaroids up a 13 hour hike to Half Dome as well as used it countless times as backup for my main sunglasses, I've taken in for miles on end for jogging, hiking, and bicycling for nearly a year and it has performed very well. I am a dental hygienist so I've have my share of experience with the UVEX brand. This brand is used often in dental office settings (especially the clear lenses) as they are durable, inexpensive, and work. Not sure what you are going to be using your glasses for, but UVEX would not be my 1st choice for cycling glasses. UVEX's sunglasses are mostly for safety. The side protection is there to shield debris. The side protection on my Polaroids is designed to shield sunlight. Steven |

Another pair of sunglasses you can check out would be these Gargoyles:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Gargoyles-Sungla...QQcmdZViewItem These are Gargoyles Legends with clear lens. They look sporty and have good lenses. At only $40 it won't break your bank either. I have a pair of Gargoyles Clears 85S that I use at my work and I can attest to their high quality build. If you need the best I would go with Gargoyles because they have an entire line of clear lenses. The lenses were actually designed to military specs and can take a .22 caliber bullet at 10 foot range and not break. The lenses are also coated with some special NASA coating which prevents fogging, pretty cool stuff. Steven |
