Is there a reason you don't just go for those Zenni's?
I have those exact glasses that you linked to and they have served me well. I use them as my primary riding glasses but they also do double time out in the shop when I'm doing any woodworking.
I'm on my second pair...I think I lost the first pair. The nose bridge is a removable, metal piece that is flexible and allows it fit quite well. The pads do get a bit gunked up over time and Zenni doesn't sell pads separately unfortunately. I have resorted to buying standard pads and holding them in place with a dab of hot glue as the ones that came on the glasses seem to be unique to the glasses.
I probably will end up with the Zenni's. Ideally I could get something a little bigger. That said, I'm not sure which quality of lens or coatings I should get. My prescription isn't that strong. I think if I don't have a mirror finish, I don't care so much about the anti-scratch coating. I've never found anti-fog coatings to do anything. I'm not sure about the anti-glare coatings. For clear lenses, it doesn't seem like I should need that.
Just looked up my order for these. I went with 1.57 Mid Index Single Vision lens and added the standard anti glare. Total came to $32.90. I've had them for a few years and they've seen a lot of muddy riding, taken tree branches to the face, been washed in creeks and puddles, wiped down with a sweaty jersey and caked with sawdust. Gotta say they are holding up pretty well. Some minor scratches but nothing that precludes their functionality.
For the silly low price I find them to be well worth it and and even if you don't like them, you're not out much.
