There's something about putting on a gleaming pair of pristine sunglasses before a ride that fills cyclists with excitement.

I love putting on my white Oakley Radars before a summer ride, having given them a clean and polish the night before, it just looks and feels bling.

Oakley Radar Path EV : was $244 now $195.20 at Amazon

Here they are, my favourite glasses in the favourite version: Polished white / prizm sapphire snow. I love this combo.

Oakley Encoder Strike : was $276 now $138 at Amazon

The Oakley Encoder Strike sunglasses are the resident CN shade officianado Will Jones' favourite.

The Encoder Strikes takes the top spot in our buyers guide; they are that good. We love the Prizm lens as ever, and the shape and arm grip are first-class.

There are a range of options discounted, but this Matte Red/Gold Colorshift/Prizm Black version stood out for me at 50%. This is a great price for some Oakleys.

These are special edition Fortnite Midas versions of the popular Oakley Sutro. Fortnite refers to the smash hit game franchise.

The Sutro is a very popular model of Oakley's for cycling, but this special version could have excellent resale value in the future. A nice buy with 54% off.

100% Hypercraft XS
Save 29%
100% Hypercraft XS: was £129 now £91.66 at sigmasports.com

These Hypercraft XS sunglasses are designed specifically for smaller faces, perfect for me, in fact. They do, though, have all the same features as the regular model. This matt black pair has the biggest discount.

What we really like about them is the excellent airflow, making them perfect for hot and humid summer conditions.

POC  Elicit Toric
POC Elicit Toric: was £250 now £171 at sigmasports.com

The POC Elicit sunglasses are designed to minimise the amount of airflow that reaches your eyes to protect your vision; the large frameless lenses evidence this.

Currently, with 32% off in the Sigma sale, they also come with a spare clear lens, which we always like to see.

Oakley  Jawbreaker
Oakley Jawbreaker: was £201 now £185 at Amazon

The Jawbreaker from Oakley launched back in 2015, and is still a very popular model, bridging the gap between smaller shades of yesteryear and the larger-sized models we have today. If large frames and lenses aren't your thing, this is a smaller, yet still really stylish pair.

This pair has a small yet healthy discount at the moment, and the Oakley quality almost needs no introduction.

Tifosi  Rail XC sunglasses
Save 25%
Tifosi Rail XC sunglasses: was £79.99 now £59.99 at Amazon

The Rail XC are a really good pair of sunglasses from Tifosi. They are less than half the price of some more expensive pairs, but the lens quality and comfort are there. I have used some myself.

The shades come with three spare lenses, a cleaning cloth and bag, a great buy for the money.
