Also, they come in anti-fog versions and it really does work. I have clear for night, yellow for dusk, and for sun I prefer the more lightly-tinted ones for the reason you are asking: they're good in both sun and shade. And that's my recommendation: whatever you get, don't get anything darker that you absolutely need and you will find it good in most lighting situations.

In the US, a good brand and my favorite style is the Pyramex Rendevous ($2.79!) Lose them, break them, get tired of them . . . at that price it really doesn't matter.

A couple years ago I started doing the same, except I splurge and get the $10-20 deluxe safety sunglasses from a big box store.
I recently found safety reading glasses, so for night rides I now use those and get the magnification I would ordinarily get from my regular readers.
