Sunglasses

What are you guys wearing for sunglasses?

Right now I am rocking the Oakley Bottle Caps but they are polarized messes with my vision.

I'm thinking of switching to the Oakley Holbrook's on the boat.

I find for our sport, because we're always looking down, up and every which way, we need unobstructed vision and protection from light from all angles. Preferable design attributes are:
- top frame only (or very thin frame if full framed)
- wrap well to the side
- lens extends down to the cheek bone to also block reflected light from the water

Hence, check the "Sport" category of Oakley: http://oakley.ca/sport-sunglasses

I just haven't found a retailer that stocks all these thus haven't gotten my hands on the right Sport pair (fit, preferred tint, etc). Though not a "Sport" set, I recently acquired Oakley "Inmates". They are full frame, but very thin frame. Good vision, protection and tint. Regular: http://oakley.ca/pd/5628 & polarized: http://oakley.ca/pd/5629.

Flak jacket for the boat Half wire fr just chillin:p

PS, both the plastic and metal frames sink just as fast , i should know the lake has claimed a few.:mad:

SPY HIELO
ARNETTE RAGE
SPY LaCROSSE
ANARCHY BLACKEN
SPY HAILWOOD
RAY-BAN AVIATORS FADE (not polarized) (for when "on the water" look isn't appropriate)
I also have some Oakley M-frames to cut the grass in.

I like sunglasses as you can see. Definately polarized. Helps to not "squint".

the ones i wear so i dont get racoon eyes, before i load up on the sun-screen:

i like these better than any of the oakley sunglasses i've had

If they're under $25 and fit nice, thats what I use for the boat. I prolly loose 5 pairs a year on the lake, im horrible about shades. Other than the boat I really like Arnett's and some of the stuff Oakley has im ok with.

I been rocking the Costa Del Mar Swordfish for about 5-6 years now. Personal opinion Costa's are the best on water glasses made. They have plenty of styles to choose from, but not as 'extreme' as oakleys.

Same pair of Ray-Ban Predator frameless polarized for four years now, best glasses i've ever owned.

Have a backup pair of Spy Meteors from my riding days just in case.

Maui Jim, the best glasses I have ever had or tried on for that matter!

Love my USAF issued aveators great for flying, dont have to worry about side glare, Switched to Maui Jim sports for boat'n, Great glasses. Just a thought!

If I spend more than $25 that is an absolute guarantee that they will not last the week. I will lose them, sit on them or jump in the water with them on. I gave up and now look for the budget wraparounds.

I have the same issue and bought a pair of (supposedly) floating Peppers from REI. Best case maybe neutral floatation and now I have one less pair of glasses. One of these days I'll remember.

^^ This. The glass and polarization is amazing. I've had the same pair for quite a while, I'm currently looking for some Maui's that wrap around more for when I'm on the water.

I am assuming you are aware of and know how to use Craiglook in your search. Just in case not I thought I'd mention it.

sounds like some of you may need a set of croakies :)

Oakley FIVE, and yes rockin the Croakies.

My preferred eyewear is native. Polarized lens interchanable lens for other light conditions. I weR them running driving boating etc. Lighter more comfortalbe fit than oakley IMO

all are polarized

SPY hailwoods -matte black
http://www.spyoptic.com/product/1412...BLACK-GRY_PLZD

Dragon Factions -white


2 colors for all occasions

try this website www.6pm.com and click on the clearance tab. I bought (3) pairs of Spy for over memorial day weekend for the wife and I. Of course she needs 2 pairs! I paid $29.95 for the Hielo's. Even some of their Oakleys are over 75% off.

i just forked out the dough for a pair of the oakley flak jackets as well. most comfortable pair of sunglasses i ever bought. i always buy the cheap ones cause i'm so hard on them but decided to get a nice pair boating and i use them when i play baseball and softball too. first pair of polarized glasses i've gotten and i think i'm hooked now.

thanks for the info. those are good prices

I rock a set of floating croakies on the water. I yank them the first moment I get to land... but on the lake I could care less.

www.6pm.com is having a sunglasses sale this weekend. Most Spy Optic's are 19.95 and 29.95.
