Best mountain bikes you can buy for under £2,000
Lazer Walter glasses
The Lazer Walter glasses get interchangeable lenses, the pack comes with three in total, a sunglasses lens, a clear and a tinted orange for overcast conditions, all of which get a water-repellant coating. The frame looks to wrap around the face well and there are lens cut-outs near the top of the frame for better ventilation.
Madison Codebreaker glasses
The Madison Codebreaker glasses are a fairly budget pair of glasses, costing just £40. For your money, you get a host of features though; multiple lenses, adjustable now piece, full UVA and UVB protection, a case and huge coverage from the large frame. We like them in pink too, reckon they will suit our Liam....
Tifosi Aethon glasses
Staying in the under £100 category are the Tifosi Aethon glasses, again a pair getting three interchangeable lenses; clear, all condition red and a smoke sunglasses lens. These are just £52, so as The Madison glasses above, these look feature packed for not a lot of cash.
Smith Optics Flywheel
The Flywheel's from Smith are a 'sunglasses only' pair of glasses using the brands Chromapop colour enhancing lens technology. The retro look provides large coverage in a sleek package. Depending on which frame colour you choose, you'll get a different lens. For example, we have the Matte Crystal frame with a Chromapop Platinium lens but buy the plain black frame and the glasses will be fitted with a Chromapop Contrast Rose Flash lens for overcast conditions

Smith Optics Squad goggles
The Smith Squad mountain bike goggles provide lots of coverage, a wide view range and come with two lenses included too. Our pair has a red mirrored lens and a clear one too - perfect for UL riding we reckon!
