Mountain Biking with or with out sunglasses? What's your call?
#1
I'm in between riding with or without sunglasses.

I wiped out the other day, and thinking back, I think I missed the best line and slipped on a wet root.

Don't think it was my technical ability. Think my glasses shaded the line of the root I was about to go over, and I needed to lift my front wheel.

As a result, I've lost confidence riding with sunglasses.

I've tried orange-shaded ones but still not sure.

Any recommendations or thoughts on this?
