I typically race enduro with goggles if needed; however, with the dramatic swings between intense heat and tropical downpours we've been seeing the New England, I was looking for a budget pair to see if could tolerate glasses/sunglasses. Lightweight and something I could attach to my Oakley DRT5 helmet when not needed for transitions or if they get covered in mud.
I ended up trying the Kapvoe mtb option with the photochromatic lenses. So for, loving them. They do fog quickly once stopped, but when moving they're hardly noticeable.

I don’t know if this helps you.

I go to Walmart and buy the 12$ fishing sunglasses that combine the UV and polarized.

Buy 2 at a time. Wear them 2-3 months and toss after cleaning them gets them too scratched up.

I don’t know if you have Walmart in India.

I like clear safety glasses for night riding. Only because I don’t like bugs in my eyes.

Weird.
Why don't you go to your own homepage that you are spamming bike forums with and read the review of mtb glasses you wrote? You could probably read some recommendations you already made there.

I have a pair of Rudy Project Proflow for some years and they are great, also the photochromic lenses works great on all types of weather.

I am a big fan of Smith Optics personally but I have several pairs of their stuff. I love clear lenses a lot especially for my nighttime riding but they also are great at the range because the ones I have are their Elite line and are Mil-Spec so I can safely use them to puncture holes in paper with jacketed lead projectiles. They are pretty comfortable on the face and have a lifetime warranty so while they are a premium product and cost money they are well supported. They also have a 30% off crash replacement for their helmets which is pretty cool if you are also looking for a helmet. Their ChromaPop Lenses are fantastic really excellent crisp clear visibility while giving great protection so something to consider.

Anytime, it is what I try to do. There is a lot of great stuff out there and a ton of crap and it is always helpful to be able to navigate it without having to wade through it all!
