Well since I’m grounded I’ve been looking at what else is broken
My Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses turned up - I snapped the edge whilst jamming it into my Shoei helmet one year. Shoei helmets are useless for sunglasses as I discovered.
I know D&G are really gay but I like these retro look glasses. Problem is, they’re really broken. Have a look at the hinge.
Is this repairable? Can it be soldered or welded back together? I don’t mind if it’s permanently welded in the ‘wear’ position. I really liked them for biking. My new Oakleys are like fishbowls and I’m getting more dizzy on these because of the curvature.
I wouldnt bother… the headache and time would not be worth it IMHO.
If it were me and (yes I have mine), I would go to one of the optical shops that sell Maui Jim glasses and get some in the “sport” line as these have straight ear pieces and work a treat in ANY helmet, not to mention that they are polarized and take out the glare. I even use them at dusk/twilight because the contrast is so good. Make sure you get the “brown” lenses and not the black ones as the brown ones will contrast better.
Find a thin piece of metal - dunno if a paperclip would suffice, bit soft. Cut or bend to fit.
Mix up some magic metal / epoxy.
Use the metal as a splint on the outside, whilst putting a small dab by itself on the inside joint.
