Well,

I'm considering retiring my Smith Moab shields and am considering my options. Requirements:

1) Interchangable lenses (smoke, amber, clear)
2) Very good wind blocking
3) <$50

Anybody have favorites? I know it's always possible to find clearance deals on glasses, so what do people like?

-S.S.-

Another pair of Smiths on sale. Or break the >$50 rule and get the new Specialized glasses, you will only need one set of lenses. They are photo-cromatic so there's no need for an amber, smoke, clear, etc.

The $50 rule cannot be broken. Unless they're gift sunglasses for my wife. :think:

You must do lots of driving on glaciers then. Since that's what you always wear when you drive... :rolleyes:
No - it was the capitalization I was hacking on him for. :p

They make good sunglasses without the side shields. Although their windblocking goes *way* downhill sans shields.
