Default Cheap Polarized Sunglasses?

Is there such a thing? I've been using free safety sunglasses from work, but they don't help when riding into the sun. Especially as the sun is starting to set. Riding one handed and sheilding the sun with left hand is not a good thing at times.

Default Not Cheap - But!

The Harley goggle/sunglass that is photogrey (tint changing) is a worth while purchase. I cringed at spending the $125 for the pair and a year later convinced the wife to try a pair and we both LOVE them. An expensive, WORTH WHILE purchase. Once you ride with them you'll probably never go back. JMHO

Yeah what he said, been using these for driving and work for years. I buy two pair a year and they go thru hell at work. The ones I use have the rubber on the sides so they don't slide or move much.
I also use them for riding around town but they let too much wind in on the highway.

Fork over some cash to spend on Your Eyes . I use some transition glasses with Foam removable eye sockets I picked up at an autoshow that work great . Now if you tend to lose or break your glasses a bunch then Yea go with BlueBlockers or or others type that you will be buying a bunch of . Still n ot a bad investment

A local shop near here sells motorcycle sunglasses in a variety of different styles for $19.99. They seem pretty good since they have the shatter proof lenses, etc.


I do not know the specific brand, but if you want me to I can check them out. I'll be in that shop this weekend getting new gloves for my son.

I also go to Walmart or similar store and get the polarized fishing glasses for $9-$20.

I lose, step on, sit on, or break too many pay big $$$ for them.

Bro-in-law gave me a couple of pairs of polarized sunglasses his girlfriend found at a yard sale for a dollar......wish I could find them for sale somewhere. They are cheap Chinese but they were free and they are polarized....
