Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
not resolvedI bought a set of these recently in Lidl and, as that strange yellow object was in the sky today, thought I would put the dark lenses in. I eventually wrestled the originals out but just can't get the others in. The hook at the nosepiece seems too inflexible.
If anyone has these and has worked out how to change lenses can you please put a confused old git out of his misery?
I've tried Googling, to no avail.
Thanks
No idea what your glasses look like, but when I got my Adidas ones a few years ago I couldn't change lenses either. Took me a while to realise I was trying to push right lens into left socket!
Ah weel, even I can't get a one piece lens the wrong way round :-)
I have some Crivit glasses. At first I didn't try changing lenses, but I do it regularly now. I don't know what model you have, but on mine the frame is a bit flexy so you have to flex it away from the lenses. They pop out quite easily, the lenses have a wee lug on one side and you have to put that side in first or they don't go in fully.
I find I'm qute quick at it now, which is handy given that the light is so changeable in Scotland! One minute bright sunshine, the next dull and overcast...
Possible to buy three pairs for approx ten pounds. In comfort of your own home put a different set of lenses in each pair. Then if sun out, swap glasses not lenses? I had EBC version, first chineses manufacturer made good ones but after tht they broke when trying to change lenses.
I finally managed to reverse the removal process but it was a bit brutal (frame and lense with no give whatsoever) and I certainly wouldn't attempt it in low temperatures.
I too always favoured the EBC ones but,like all things good, eventually they disappear from the market.
