Well I almost made it to 40 before needing glasses and now I need to
purchase prescription sunglasses for cycling, XC Skiing etc.

Looking for Recommendations on prescription sport sunglasses that work
really well for cycling & other outdoor activities (XC-Skiing). I have
been looking at a multitude of options and I'm just wondering what your
experience is, specifically I want to know:

- how well they fit under the helmet (are they comfortable around the
ears?)
- do they fog up easily or not
- do they slip off the nose easily or stay up

I realize I'm about to drop $350 - $500 so I thought a few of you may have
some advice

I've been to Hillsadale Eye and a few other places and there are a lot of
choices. Thanks Alot For your Help.
