What do people use / reccomend ?

I'm using a pair with dark lenses at present, however I am sure I have read it's better to use brown lenses ?
 
ESP Stalkers ( brown lens ) are a favourite of mine but i also have others with Grey and Yellow lenses for different light conditions.

Have you got any that would be suitable for the Dove ?
 
Optilabs do ones with react to light lens' and, if you need them, prescription lens' but I'm not sure the prescription lens' are made of the react to light glass, they're about as good as it gets 
 
I have a pair of the precisions too, and everything about them is very good bar one thing, i find there is a slight mis focus towards the edge of the lenses. It may be a bad pair but likewise it could be my eyes seeing as I need glasses for reading.

It doesnt affect the overall use but can screw up the peripheral vision in bright sunlight. However for 20 odd quid, they are worth a shot IMO
 
Not sure of the exact model but Snowbee's from Uttings outdoors Amber lenses 19 pounds and the best set of glasses I have used. Amongst the 10 or so sets I have had including Shimano Esp Fox and others. Plus the delivery and customer service is second to none.
 
I would second the vote for Snowbees.
I have a pair of their Magnifiers which have small 2.5 diopter magnifiers in the bottom of each lens which allows hook/ bait changing etc without changing to reading glasses for those short range challenged.

Yes Dean they were from the raffle, damn fine they are too mate. Take care.
 
I've got a pair of the posh Optilabs ones that change colour and they're fine, they do steam up when it's hot though.

I find myself wearing my Precision ones more these days to be honest. They're much comfier and the lens in them are great.

Here's a photo taken through the Precisions:
