Winter eyewear for cyclists?

I have Oakleys as I need prescription lenses and I wanted to get something with photochromic lenses with tints but if you're lucky enough to not need them, any of the above or dhb (wiggle), b'twin (decathlon's own brand) etc will be fine if you want something a bit sportier just make sure they have proper UV protection
Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

The bolle clear glasses with the 6 or move base curve (wrap around) are ideal. Don't be tempted with any of the tints if you ride at night. They are strong and look like cycling glasses when you have them on.
Only one problem, expect to replace them about every 2-3 years. I treat mine well, but after this period the lenses always start to delaminate and fog, and at that point become unusable after a month or two.0 -

I wasn't aware Oakley did photochromic lenses - they might be interesting - or are they Oakley frames with 3rd part replacement lenses?0 -

AFAIK they are 100% Oakley, have the logo on the lens. Came from the US in about 2 weeks custom made. I have the Crankshaft with black iridium polarized lenses with either green or blue tint, forget which, have to dig out the order
I wanted the classic cyclist Jawbreakers (or even the Halfjacket / Flak) but my prescription is literally 0.25 more than they will do for that style (I think mine is total 4.25 and the limit is 4!)Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:

Agreed. They work, they stay on your face, they don't look too bad, and if you drop/lose/sit on them, you don't feel too sad.fafafafafafasadsong wrote: »Another vote for Aldi glasses with interchangeable lenses here. Not the super-awesomest glasses of all time but on a cost/value basis they're great!If someone is nice to you but rude to the waiter, they are not a nice person.0 -
I find Planet X always good value for stuff like this.0
