    Does anyone use vented oakleys while running? I am looking to buy a pair but I'm not sure if the vented lenses are worth the extra money. I find that my sunglasses steam up a bit while running in any kind of heat.

    I've been using the Rudy Project Kalyos - still going strong after 5yrs.

    They're quite roomy and the glass doesn't fully meet the frame at the top, so never had any fogging issues.
    Much cheaper than Oakley, I think I paid about $90's on ebay back then.

    €209 for a pair of sun glasses. :eek:

    That's about €200 more than I paid for mine ....

    I bit the bullet and bought non-vented Radar paths.

    Cheap glass are fine for running but as Tunney will mention, when you have pieces of platic embedded in your face after crashing on the bike it might seem like a false economy.

    Fair enough. Glad I'm a runner, then.
