I have two pairs from Rockbros, one photochromic and one polarised. They are pretty sturdy and comfortable. Just beware that the photochromic glasses don't get very dark, it's only a slight tint in most conditions. For me they are perfect for cloudy days. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000955468830.html

If buying glasses I'd definitely look for a pair with more reviews. Also I second what others have said... The photochromatic effect is not very pronounced at all and is really only good for rides starting at 5am when it is dark and finishing when it is sunny.

decided to go for changeable glasses instead of photocronic, as i like dark glasses


hope i don't have to pay a fine for the copy

You can find good Foakleys on Ali: Like EV Zero, Path, etc.

Search for: cycling glasses
Sorting the list by price descending.
And looking between $19 and $17
Around page 45 as I tried today, for instance that one looks to be one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002324865234.html
Look for the one with the box, multiple lenses, a cloth, etc... they are generally the good ones, but check well the pictures.

The listings are quickly shut down, but there are always new ones.
Once riding, someone told about my glasses to an Oakley seller, he inspected them and was shocked by the quality.

Then I sometimes replace the lenses with these, that are very strong and clear:

I wear these too, that are clear and extremely light:

I can also approve of the NRC glasses posted by carbonazza. I have the photochromatic version with a few other colours. Like I already said the photochromatic works... Just not very well. Glasses themselves are fantastic and lenses are easy to change. Having rimless glasses is brilliant, I hate wearing anything else now.

I second the foakleys! I have 2 pair and the same seller had 100% glasses that all have been great. Also took my pair into a shop and they couldn't belive the quality.

The POC glasses with interchangeable lenses on Ali are really good.  I run the yellow 100% of the time but have some other goofy mirrored and polarized lenses in the kit

today chinese  poc arrived,

look and glasses are ok, but glasses haven't a good fit

[Zoc]

Hi, first ride with the POC glasses yesterday,
fit is ok,
nose clip a bit thight
not very dark glasses, especially next to water or in the evening when the sun stands not that high,
maybe one of the replace glasses works better for this conditions

very positive glasses don't fog up at all

I agree with the comments about the photochromic RockBros glasses. The tint doesn't turn super dark, but perfect for near night time rides or cloudy days.

I also have some RockBros frameless with the yellow reflective coating, but when I wash the glasses with dish soap and 40-45 C water the reflective coating started to flake off in parts. Washing with cold water doesn't seem to cause that.

So mind your water temperature.

The glasses i own, the ear piece rubber parts never sray on and i ended up losing them. The nose rubber piece also doesnt stay on so id recommend gluing the loose parts fwiw.

Anyone know of a pair where the ear parts snap close when you put them away? Not just rotating, but they snap bacn to rotate that youd see with higher end glasses. I want to be able to put them on top of my helmet.

Lost my glasses at my kids school.
Bought the X-Tiger glasses to replace them.
Coming in the post

Own these too, however be aware that if the post doesn't deliver the seller will just tell you to go figure it out yourself.
