Poc devour or smith bobcat like sunglasses?

[MrSimmo]

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend a pair of sunglasses similar to the poc devour or smith bobcat, but without the crazy price tag?


Cheers

Mellon do some good ones.

Personally, I like to buy lots of different knock-off ones from AliExpress, as i lose them, damage them etc.

Cheers Ian, do the Aliexpress ones have UV coating etc?

 

[VWsurfbum]

well they say they do lol
Whether or not they are certified as UV coating is a different matter.

whilst the major sunglasses brands are invariabl expensive, in my experience you have to pay good money to get something that will last more than a few weeks. I use Oakley Jawbreaker. I have used them on pratically every ride for ayear and they are as good now as when I bought them. No scratches on the lens and lens coating good as new. They are also contrast enhancing which makes a real difference on the trail.

Cheers both, I have a pair of Oakley EVzero’s which are awesome, just wanted a pair of something larger.

Ended up going mad and ordering both a poc devour replica from aliexpress (cheers Ian) which I’ll take to the local opticians to test for UV protection and also a pair of Tifosi Sledge Lites If the fakes turn out to be UV protective, I’ll sell the Tofosis

Madison do some great riding glasses of that style at decent prices, I have a few and as good as my Oakleys, the Enigma and Cipher would fit the bill and come in multiple colour ways

I have the Enigmas, previously using Oakley Sutros with the Prism Trail lens but the Madsions have become my go too.
