Hi all, I'm planning on test driving a Seven next month and wonder which specs are recommended ? Needless to say I want a shatterproof lens that gives me the contrast and clarity on dull days as well as sunny ones, and a design that won't go flying away at ?? mph. Thanks, Paul

Presume windscreen ? I just use my existing Oakley skiing glasses. They have interchangeable lenses which I use for flat light days skiing so can go from orange/Persimmon for dull days to shades for the sun.

I would imagine any sports focussed interchangeable lens glasses will be ok.

As others have said, with a windscreen I just use normal sun glasses.

Aero (or Doorless) I either use Bolle ballistic glasses or Bertoni ballistic motorcycle goggles.

You’ll definitely need something that won’t blow off your face if you decide to go doorless.

As above.

I used to wear Bolle Trackers from screwfix which you can pick up for £12 whenever I went out with an aero screen: https://www.screwfix.com/search?search=bolle

'Goggles' rather than glasses are better so your eyes don't dry out.

And don't forget earplugs. Absolutely essential if you go doorless.

Whiley’s or Bolle’s have polycarbonate lenses, but different of the cost scale.

I had som3 custom earplugs from Boots - Can’t remember the make - AMS or something.
