thank you, they are very light too

OOh! I need those for France! What makes them running sunglasses? Do they resist misting up or something? That drove me bonkers last summer...

Hi Curly gurly I am also in France, in the South West today is sunny and fresh air is beckonning this afternoon Slightly apprehensive as my first run of week 2 but am encouraged by all the positive posts on the site will give it a go.

Hi ezra567 - there are quite a lot of us in france. Good luck with starting the programme. It's certainly been a beautiful sunny day today 😎

You must give it a go, week two is slightly better as your body is saying "oh we are doing this again!" let everyone know how you get on and good luck. i live in santiago so people are from all over.

i don't actually know, they have a sunglasses shop in mall sports and i have been looking at glasses for a while so thought i would try them. they are light and think they are meant to fit better during activity(golf, cycling, running etc). however mine don't fit as well as the good old cheap ones. misting up - my glasses tend not to mist up anymore - i think they only mist up during winter and spring, i think it must be something to the difference between body temp, ambient temp, when your body heats up too. the only thing i know since i have been running in warmer conditions i don't have this problem. This is my theory, it could be a load of rubbish!!! also i learnt never to take them off even for a quick wipe during a run as it makes it worse, wait until you are finished running and cooling down before taking them off. i am sure there is a scientific reason for the misting up i am just not that clever.

I asked for advice here last year and I was told to wipe them with washing up liquid, or spit in them...they say the same thing about swimming goggles...I bought some expensive non-fog swim goggles, my husband thinks I should wear them for running as I don't swim any more...

I saw a young pony-tailed lass in some of those the other day. It was below freezing and no sun whatsoever. Poser! LOL

Ah, to have the sun melt ones specs. Sigh

Only jealous Vix! Lovely glasses they are and should reduce the glare from your blazing sun no end.

Today has been lovely 23 degrees and cloudy, it has been positively cool. I even make a cup of tea today. I don't mind passing the sunshine on - however i can see by the forecast this was a one off and the sun will be out again tomorrow - back to 32degrees! Not long now until spring time!!
