Actually, now that I come to think of it the ones I had might have been fancy “real cyclist” ones—I seem to recall they had interchangeable lenses (which were a dead loss). Someone must have given them to me or maybe I got lucky and found them in the bargain bin.

But I prefer plain clear lenses these days because in the dark I find they offer the best visibility for my liking.

$12 from Bunnings or $50 from bike shop – no contest.

Bugs in the throat or nose are unpleasant, but at least there’s a faint chance that a good hacking cough or a sneeze will expel them. But bugs in the ears are particularly nasty because the more you chase ‘em the further up your ear canal they go…

I remember having ears full of swarming bugs while setting up a belay on Mitre rock once. It was hideous. Couldn't let go of the rope to scritch them out! What's worse, my second then solo'd the climb. Smart arse.</p> <p>Anyways, been checking those safety glasses out myself. Especially since the made for cyclists version at the LBS have a $90 price tag. The blue tinted ones looked particularly attractive, I might say. Much better than wearing bugs in yer eyeballs.</p> LOL. I remember having ears full of swarming bugs while setting up a belay on Mitre rock once. It was hideous.
