Oakley Evzero Path photochromic glasses

£179, oakley.com

I always wear glasses when I ride, mainly to keep the wind, grit, flies and other airborne detritus out of my eyes. But autumn days have a habit of starting out with bright sunshine before descending into murkiness as rain-filled clouds roll in to remind us that this is Britain. It can be hard to know whether to opt for eyewear with dark shades or clear lenses. The solution? Photochromic lenses that darken or lighten with the conditions. These Evzero Paths have the added benefit that they are rimless, so field of vision is unimpaired – handy for when rain showers are trying to sneak up on you.
