What’s out there you can use for a low tri/TT position that has no upper frame besides Rudy Sportmasks, Maskereynas, and Oakley Zeroes? FWIW, looking for something with “tall” upper coverage like Zero L’s or Sportmask Edgers
I just checked and Nahbar has three different types that cost 8, 29 and 59 dollars.

i have to chec k this out----thanks for this link. i’ve had clear and tinted glasses like this for years, have one pair on reserve, and am very nervous about losing/breaking them because of the difficulty in finding more. no top bar is THE requirement in bike glasses for me. when i’ve put others on, in training, thinking i was just a fussbudget about the top bar, i thought i was going to go cross-eyed or blind. i don’t know why, but a top bar just makes my eyes go nuts when i’m out on the aerobars.
again, thanks.

i hope you don’t sweat from your forehead while wearing them. i have a couple of pairs of no-upper-frame glasses and they are hopeless to wear on days when i will sweat. the upper frame acts to divert quite a lot of the perspiration; no upper frame means that every single drop goes right down onto the glass where it rapidly evaporates and leaves salts all over. its hopeless. i bought mine for time-trialing but i gave up wearing them. this is with a headsweat on to take care of the major stuff (its also in philadelphia, summer).
The Rudy Sportmask Performance has a partial browguard (for lack of a better term) that really helps out with this (sweat). I should add, I already own a pair of them, but they’re just a bit too small for a really low TT position coverage. I’m also in NM, where relative humidity (what’s that?) rarely gets over 30%…I used to live in NJ, so I know how it is there. I literally would wear a Halo headband when it was hot/humid. So, you make a good point for most people.
Thanks NYSlim for reminding me of the Nashbar stuff, I had a pair of their NoFramez that just didn’t stay in place, but the Tifosi Vigel looks pretty good, and about half the price of the Sportmask Edgers I was considering.
