What is your sunglasses

[dvtldav]

Since summer is here let's find out what everyone's favorite brand of sunglasses are. I have tried Oakley, Bolle, Maui Jim, and others. My favorite, hands down are Maui Jim. They are expensive but to me they are worth it. I have three pair & my wife has a pair. When I tried on my first pair I was hooked. The color rendition & optical clarity was unsurpassed.

You know what is cool...I find that I see left over smears or excess products left behind better with polarized sun glasses?

Anyone else note this?

[TxRado]

Ray ban ftw!

I'm looking at getting the prescription Oakley Gascan Polarized sunglasses...they are expensive though.

Serengeti here.

I am old. Prescription clip ons. lol. Seriously.

[Michael Stoops]

In my prior life (ie, just before joining Meguiar's) Oakley was a client of mine so I've got several pairs of their sunglasses - among other things - and they even fully comped me prescription glasses, both sun and regular, before I had Lasik. Great company with excellent customer service and awesome products. Even before they were a client I wore nothing but Oakleys back when I was racing bicycles.

I will have to say Oakley also. I have a pair of Half Jacket XLJ's and they have saved my eyes countless times when I have to qualify with my 2 weapon systems at work. Go to oakleys webs site and check out the impact test that they perform on video. they also show 2 other high end glasses(gucci, and another brand that has slipped my mind) These other glasses fail completely and would allow an object to impact you EYE. This is also why most of our military trops are using oakley's. Just my 2 cents.

I wear Oakley Juliets and another pair that I don't know the name of. I also own an Oakley backpack. I love their products. I can back up what Mike stated about the company as well. When my Juliets became loose, and I lost a rubber piece, I sent it to them free of charge. Oakley fixed both issues and sent them back without charge to me.

Oakley also offers hydrophobic polymer coating on many of their sport glasses. Sort of like NXT Tech Wax 2.0 or UQD for your eyes. :chuckle1:chuckle1

This will be my next pair of sunglasses, too bad theyre so expensive

I have several pairs of glasses for different occasions. Have good luck with Ray Bans over the years. My last two pairs have been high coverage Prada's.

[RogueGypsy]

Wiley-X has become my shade of choice. I've worn Oakley's, Serengeti's, Sun Cloud's, Ray Ban's and many, many more. Polarized lenses are definitely the way to go. Polycarbonate lenses will afford all the ocular protection you will ever need from the dreaded sling. :D

They even make excellent prescription lenses.

[Kriez]

I wear Oakley Juliet's for my normal sunglasses. When biking I wear a pair of Tifosi glasses that are designed for road biking. The lenses have a slight red tint to them and they work like Transition lenses in that they can darken or lighten depending on the amount of light.

[CAShine]

I love Spy Optics. They are big in the surfing/snowboarding crowd. I used to wear Oakleys but they can be a bit pricey and I find that now that dont have any styles that I like or would look good on me.

[Nappers]

I typically like RayBan but currently have a pair of Arnette's, they are made by RayBan or so I'm told.....

I would like to try a pair of Maui Jim's. I owned a pair of Bolle's but the coating wore off and they wouldn't fix it. I had a nice pair of Ray Ban Daddy o's but I placed them on the car and they fell off and ultimately got run over by another car....:'(

I agree, I tend to find the LSP easier with polarized glasses on to make sure I get all of the wax off and/or UQD wiped nice. Easier on the eyes on the interior too if it's real bright outside.

Wal-Mart Renegades. 11.95. Polarized.

These are the best glasses for the money.......period. I'm an avid fisherman.....especially trout and these let me into the water perfectly. They are perfect for detailing also. Best part is the 11.95. I lost a pair of 100.00+ Oakleys and vowed never again. I'm telling you, try these. They are in the hunting and fishing section at Wal-Mart.

Dragon Optics

[Deaner5]

I lost a pair of 100.00+ Oakleys and vowed never again.

While I haven't bought a pair of $100+ sunglasses, I won't because I think I would lose them too. I usually go for the trendier and cheaper types like Dockers or Relic's for about $15 or so at Kohl's or JCPenney.

[guitarman502]

Oakley here.... I actually have Oakley Sunglasses but with regular lenses with the transition.

[professorsabre]

Killer Loop here

[ColonelCash]

Smith Toasters. They have interchangeable lenses and are very easy to clean. Also, I've got the polarized lenses for them. Would highly suggest these glasses to anyone.

Also, for those who tend to lose glasses, pickup a pair of croakies.

[Jokeman]

My girl got me a pair of Oakley Straight Jackets. I like them, Im just not used to wearing sunglasses so I forget to put them on.

[sixty7mustang22]

Cheapest thing I can find at Wal-Mart.:woot2

I'm pretty rough on sunglasses so it is pointless for me to spend too much money on them.

[Ryan L.]

Well after 3 tries I finally got my Oakley Gascan's and WOW, I love them. They are dark enough that you don;t have to squint into the sun, but light enough that you can still wear then in the shade no problem.

[retrofinisher]

Rudy Project's and Serengeti

Oakley's for about the longerst time till 2000

They break to easily with sun screens

[mcox]

Maui Jims and absolutely love them. A bit pricey but.....

[rescuenut10]

Believe it or not my favorite brand of sunglasses are from a saftey company that I deal with. There a $8 pair of saftey sunglasses.If I break or lose them, I'm not out a whole lot of cash.

[08MKZ]

I have about 8 pairs of Oakleys. Just bought my first pair of Maui Jims. Still prefer Oakleys.

[roushstage2]

I have a pair of $140 Oakleys and a pair of $65 Dragons. The Oakleys are my kinda like my work galsses now, plus the cushions on the arms are blistered and gooey (the gel from inside the cushions) so I can't wear them anyways unless I go and buy new ones. :rolleyes:

Dragon FTW!

[seth1066]

A nice clean MF towel cleans them with no spray or solution.

[Rick McDonough]

Spy sunglasses for me.

[PhotoRecon]

Has anyone tried or have any Julbo sunglasses?

I did a search of this thread but didn't see it mentioned anywhere.

[irf@n]

Oakley - A Wire (Black) :)

[gb387]

Mine are an older pair of Oakley, need to get a new pair but for now they work.

[piloto117]

Love my Raybans, but have a pair of Maui J's, great pair and excellent customer support; had them repaired two times no charge at all!
If you're low on cash, walmarts renegades are a good bet! And yes, polarized is the way to go!


:D

[Sandstone]

Ray Ban Wayfarer...Yeah I know they're old but they're prescription and until I lose them or break em I won't get another pair although I'm considering transition lenses for my next new set of glasses/lenses. Psst... the Ray Bans are 20 years old...take care of your stuff and it will last :xyxthumbs.

[J. A. Michaels]

Well, I broke down today. Had a eye exam. Ordered a regular pair of prescription glasses and ordered a pair of oakley prescriptions. I think I am getting more modern.:chuckle1
