What kind of sunglasses do you have?

[SlipknotX556]

Just trying to figure out what other AOers wear, when its sunny out.

Reason why, because I have a pair of smoke dragon box sunglasses, they push down to hard on my ears, causing extreme pain after wearing them a whole 5 min.

So I wanted to see what other people had, so maybe I can get some ideas on what kind to get next.

[InfinatyBPS]

I have some that I bought for like $10 at wal-mart...

[SlipknotX556]

Yeah, wal mart has great stuff, but anything I buy their always seems to get lost, or break.

[edweird]

Since I have the insanly terrible vision of a mole I have to go with prescription only glasses / sunglasses.

As of now I wear some nifty custom sunglasses from my "trip" to korea. Cost me about 60 bucks for em to! (and yes that is a killer deal for me and my 6 inch vision)

[WickeDKlowN]

I don't have any sunglasses...

I'm supposed to have perscription(sp?) glasses for distance, but I'm too damn lazy to get them, lol. Don't really want them either.

[Xen]

Oakley X-metal sunglasses

[FooTemps]

I don't have sunglasses but I want to get some perscription ones or probably get some good looking clip ons with my next glasses.

i have a pair of smiths and oakley, i like my smiths more , they seem to hold on more then my oakleys

[einhander619]

I can't believe you find the boxes uncomfortable! I am on my third pair, metallic blue with chrome lenses. I also have a pair of green dragon traps, as well as a pair of the new black rubbery feeling spy scoop HS's.

For snowboard goggles, I have silver dragons with silver lenses and camo oakley A-frames.

[MantisMag]

i find sunglasses to be very personal. you have to get something that fits your face. i have some sergio tacchini sunglasses.

[pookachu32]

Arnette Swingers... They are lightweight, comfortable, pretty cheap, and look cool. They have all sorts of colors. They run from about $55-$60. I have 2 of em:D You should check them out...

Damn you, im gonna steal those from you next time i see you.

[shartley]

I wear sunglasses that clip onto my regular glasses… not the flip down type, but the kind that use a spring and little brackets. They work very well and you can get them in both smoke and the orange color. I use the orange color since it not only reduces eye strain, but crisps up things as well. They are GREAT for shooting and driving.

Foakley's w00tw00t :)

[dansim]

ill agree with mantismag here go to teh store and try em on and see how they feel and how the look, i ended up getting a pair from walmart cause i didnt find anything i liked at the sunglass hut and they were only 11.95 baby!

[daveymag]

I found a sweet old school pair of aviators the other day, and thats all that I have been wearing.

[mikey101]

I found a nice pair of Oakley A-wires about 2 years ago while swimming in the wave pool of water world:) they were pretty scratched, so I took them in to an oakley store at our mall, and they replaced the lens' for me, what a deal!

[BobTheCow]

Oakley Minutes... hmm, and with scratched lenses, too!!

[1stdeadeye]

Oakleys. They are bronze colored metal frames with bronze mirrored lenses. I bought them last year at Ripoff Hut, er Sunglass Hut for around $125. I can't remember the model though. Really comfy and look good!

[BobTheCow]

1st deadeye, it should say on the inside of the frame what model it is. Or else it doesn't, and I'm completely wrong. :rolleyes:

[Dayspring]

Ray Ban's.

Love 'em.

They have CE stamped on the inside of the frame. What does that mean?

[BobTheCow]

*checks website*
*waits for 56k to suffer through www.oakley.com*

I have no idea... it doesn't say anything else, even on the rubber-ish gripping-your-head part?

[digitard]

I have 2 pairs of BOLLE's .... expensive (90+) but they're very light, very durable, and they just look slick. I've had em for about a year and I wear em everywhere outside cause they actually relax my eyes (no squinting)

[CameraGuy]

I wear a pair of Bausch & Lomb (Ray-Ban) aviators that my dad picked up new in the early 70s.

[datapimp69]

[shartley]

Heck... according to ZZ Top, all you need is a pair of cheap sunglasses! ;):D:D:D

[wyn1370]

revo's
nice thing was I had extra money sitting in my flex plan from work, so I went to DOC and got my self a pair with before tax money that I was going to loose anyway

[Vex]

Arnette Catfish and Oakley Eye Jackets (although I'm not too fond of the Eye Jacket style, but I got them for free so I'm not complaining. I need to replace my Catfish, both pairs are broken, including the ones I bought in Sydney Austrailia...:mad:

[SlipknotX556]

Along with my box dragons, I have a pair of jewel blue Rake dragons. The grips on the back of them stink, they are way to big, the lenses are huge. I think I need to try a different company.

I will go down to my local surf shop and try some this weekend, or the mall with sunglass hut.

(By the way, the rake dragons are for sale, go to the link in my sig.:), sorry, I really need to sell them)

[ShooterJM]

Hmmmm some sweet spy's and ray-bans.

[Mango]

Maui Jim's baby!! Best sunglasses you can buy. I rock the Ka'anapali's in both Gun Metal and Rose lenses (2 pairs). They are the lightest sunglasses out there, a mere 11 grams. The frames are made of a Beta-Titanium Alloy and they hug your face. I forget I am wearing them. I wear them while running and doing PT on the weekends, they've never fallen off my face.

[Python14]

I have several pairs of sunglasses. I have some blue Oakley Minutes that while they work well, they are a little annoying. I have some huge, and I mean, HUGE aviator sunglsses that I wear never. They cover most of my cheeks and are so dark I can practically use them when I weld. Finally, I have some supposedly polarized yellow, walmart brand sunglasses I got for $5. I like them the best

[MENACE]

I'm on my second pair of Fuzion's from Zeal Optics. They fit snug and are very comfortable. The lenses are top quality, made with a special process in Japan making the optical clarity very clean. The polarizing is icing on the cake. The glasses are designed by former pro/am atheletes and are used a lot for winter and water sports where there's a lot of sun glare. Check thm out a "zealoptics.com"

My backup is a pair of wire framed Gargoyles. Not the ones that are still in the market. The ones I got around '95 were only produced in in small quantities.

Good luck with your selection.

[Cha0tic]

a pair of oakleys and a pair of Rudy Project sunglasses. the rudys are amazing. if anything breaks or gets worn on the glasses, you can order the new part. everything is adjustable.

[SlipknotX556]

Well, I went to the mall today, to get some new shoes, eat. Then made my way to Champs, to get some shorts, saw that they had sunglasses, saw some nice oakleys. Asked the sales assisant to open the case, let me see them, he did, I fell in love with them.

They are black oakley minutes, polarized. Priced at 150, had a sale for them at 80 bucks.

[FESTUS33]

Rick:eek:

[1stdeadeye]

I found out the model om Oakley's. I have E-Wires! Took forever to find that darned box!:D

BTW, really comfortable!

[DaveDog]

The cheap kind. I always lose sunglasses. No pint in paying a lot for them.

[BobTheCow]

Yay deadeye!!!
Once again: Oakleys rock.

[Quiet]

Oakley square wires (1pair), for driving or just lounging around
Smith zippers (2pair), for snowboarding
Arnettes (2pair), for work
Bolles (1pair), mostly just sit around in my dresser

[Smoken]

Grey rubbery SPY Scoop HS. I love 'em and they only cost me $25.

[BareBack]

I have a pair of Oakley XX, and a pair of Arnette Hot Cakes that I was given. The Arnette's make me look like the fly, the frames and lenses are HUGE!!! hahaha

[Thordic]

Oakley's are ridiculously expensive. I can't see paying that much for sunglasses.

Glasses are so easily broken/lost etc that I buy the $10 ones you get at highway rest stops. They work the same, there are tons of styles, and if you lose them you don't have to cry yourself to sleep over it.

[BareBack]

My Oakleys cost me stuff all, and they're covered by warranty, so it's all good. They get used and abused, and still come out on top, so I'm happy with them. Had one pair run over by a forklift and not even crack, just had to put the bends back in them :D
