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.'07 Outback V

All Polarized
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".'09 OBV

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.
