The Australian and NZ Bolle/Serengetti Sunglasses distributor is having a clearout sale. I am only really interested in sport sunglasses for cycling so haven't looked through all the 'fashion' deals but I did manage to get a set of Bolle photocromatic lens glasses for $50 down from $200 for use early in the mornings, much cheaper than buying a photocromatic lens for my Oakleys.
Never worn Bolle Photocromatic but for $50 i am willing to give them a go! A set of lenses for my Radarlocks would probably set me back three times that cost. If you ride early in the morning it is often still not fully light and I cant be stuffed carrying a range of lenses in my jersey pocket to stop and switch across as it lights up. I have tried putting my glasses in the helmet and riding with none on until it is bright enough but there is always stuff that could hit you in the eye so wearing glasses is almost a safety thing. Bikebug had some Rudy photocromatic glasses for about $150 a month ago, nearly bought them but these are cheaper and if they are no good (slide off my face etc) I'll relegate them to the console of the car.
Ah right so you got lenses only for $50.
I have the Julbo trail speed ones at the moment. and have ridden with them for a few years now. Day and night (I have a mirror mounted on it). They are great. A second pair would be good. I nearly lost mine up the shops the other week, and nearly panicked thinking about having to ride without the mirror.
They seem to have a few photo glasses in there for $79. I don't see any for $50 though.
Edit: ah, the Modulator Amber on the Score Shiny Black $50 are photo
Heck at these prices I might try a couple.
Nope I bought a full set of the Bolle Score Shiny Black Modulator Amber glasses. Those whole glasses cost less than a new set of lenses for my Oakley radars would cost, even as a backup set or just for early morning starts or dull days in winter these are worth a try.
Was just about to order some Rudy Project. Have never had some but friends say they are awesome, the photochromic range is great and very fast transition…still these for the price is pretty good. Ordered SCORE SHINY BLACK MODULATOR AMBER 220 reduced to 50. Probably not as cool looking but the rate I go through glasses I reckon these may do the job nicely. Thanks for the post 2ndeffort!!
the lack of paypal and using my visa's numbers made me feel so dirty……Haven't had to do that for ages!
Took some time but below are all the sale glasses

Scratch that this covers all the sale items http://store.bolle.com.au/ProductDisplay.aspx?Category=SX100…
I bought a pair on Friday just before posting up the deal. Went for a ride on Sunday morning and when I got back home the delivery guy was at my door handing over the glasses to my wife!! That has to be a record for delivery, sure the delivery guys are probably working extra shifts with XMas but even so that is a totoal of 0 working days since I ordered!!!
I ride too so was looking at other photochromatic options to my current. As at least a second pair.
How are their photo lenses compared to say Julbo and Rudy Project I wonder.
