Hey guys.

I want to buy new glasses with rx insert.
I was searching on some shops and i found Shimano Equinox, 50R, 720 Armour, Tisofi Roubaix.
Are they good? Do you recommend another one? I don't want to pay more than 100€. They can't be small because i have big nose.

Thanks.

In the past I have tended to end up using Rudy Project with inserts. I had 2 pairs that between them lasted 12 years of riding and racing.

That said, a year or two ago I got contact lenses and a simple pair of riding sunglasses. Never consider going back to prescription sunglasses now. The big issue was always when conditions were variable (or worse wet) and I needed to take the glasses off....

I use Rudy Projects. Only changed them after 10 years as I lost the old pair.

Great sunglasses and I had a pair of inserts before I got contact lenses and they worked fine.

Cheaper than Oakley's as well

There are very cheap glasses with rx insert. One brand is "accent". I bought them for 20 euros plus 20 euros for the +4.25 insert. So 40 euros altogether. I cycled using them the whole winter in Poland and the whole cycling season with UCI races. Another brand is oktos. I saw them in my local shop for 40 euro.
