Hi All
Can anyone tell me where I might get hold of "reactolite" or similar shades for use when riding? The sort that go light/dark depending on the ambient light. They were all the rage a few years ago but can't seem to find them now. I tried a Google search but that wasn't much help.

optitians I guess might be a good place to go, am sure they must do them with plain/no prescription lenses, might be worth looking into ? can't say I've seen them anywhere else

also wanted to add, have you tried a fogcity light reactive visor insert? I have one of those an its pretty good

Souse,

I dont think there called reactolite I think they may be called Transition Lenses Not sure look on the web specsavers.

Boots

They might not work. My specs rely on UV to make them go dark. In the car or with my visor down, the UV is cut out. So the glasses don't go dark.

The other thing is that even though they darken quite quickly, they are slow to clear. If you were to go into a tunnel for instance, they would clear up immediately.

Another term is Photochromatic, I believe, which is what a mate had done to his glasses.

Failing that, get a Caberg V2 with flip-down sun visor. Might be cheaper...

i reccomend plain old yellow tinted sunnies, not bad in low light

Yup, you're right on that score. Thank &deity; for racing-only 90% tint visors :-)

Generic shades for me! Theyve lsot the comfy lil plastic things 4 your nose but its ok as my helmet foam padding supports them adequatley...

(msut buy new shades)
