    Default 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.

    Default 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".

    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.
