If it was glass, I could use one of the waxes like RainX but with plastic, the alcohol in the applicator makes it crack. Anyone know of a good alternate?
More on the "Cocoon" cover-your-specs goggles, if anyone's interested. The website, liveeyewear.com, encourages purchase from local retailers, says nothing about Japan, but invites people to ask about local retailers. So I did. Answer: they're not aware of local retailers, but suggest the following internet dealers:
I'd guess that some won't sell to Japan and others will only do so for an exorbitant charge; but I haven't yet investigated (and shan't do so unless/until dissatisfied with specs I've ordered but haven't yet even received).

I believe only 2 ways to go with eyewear - cheap and easily replaceable Or iconic.
I'm not still on my first pair of Oakleys but as one of my other hobbies is Fly Fishing I barely ever leave the house without a pair of sunglasses on (a fly hook tends to travel close past the face at about 70 mph and I do have a small chip in one pair of glasses to prove the don't always miss...). Okay, that and spending 5 days of the week sitting in a darkened office means going outdoors at the weekend hurts a bit if I don't wear sunglasses
Anyway, for both reasons I seem to have accumulated a range of Polarised glasses over the years. Oakley are still my favourite for making the world seem better and sharper. Yes your eyes can adjust the white balance and neutralise out a lot of whatever Oakley lens tint you've chosen, but the right red or yellow tint for you still seems to lift the day (especially if it's yet another grey day in London!!). So for cycling I mainly use an old pair of Oakleys Half Jackets. The lenses are a second or third iteration, but the frames are from 10 plus years ago (and only plastic).
If I were to recommend the best sports sunglasses I own then it would be Maui Jims. Flexible, very lightweight frames and great optics for a plastic lens. I have a pair for bright days and a one for dull. The dull ones I wear cycling on cloudy days in the winter and they give great eye protection plus easily stretch over helmet straps/the rear plastic cage of Kask helmets.
Agreed!
I will only let Oakleys don my person - I still have my very first pair of sponsored Oakley Straight Jackets in custard yellow from the 1990's.
Init!Haha, 90's Oakleys were the business. I have a pair of clear framed, orange lensed Straight Jackets. The best!
