I have a pair of ray ban im testing out now. I have 2 pairs of maui jims coming tomorrow. If they fit and look good I'll keep a pair and return the other. I'll try out Serengeti sunglasses this weekend when i have some time.
Hmm i'll see if i can find a place and check them out. Thanks for the tip! |

I have quite a few Ray Bans and they are all great quality. But I also regularly wear Prada and D&G and Carrera sun glasses.

I'm partial to oakleys...the clarity of the ski goggles is astounding too.
Everytime I step into the oakley store I come out with a new pair..dammit. I just have an oakley drawer in the closet now..lol. I keep coming back to the black iridium polarized lenses because they are soothing to my eyes while driving. I even like wearing them near dusk...my eyes feel comfortable with them. I'm also trying out some Gatorz....their is a vendor on amazon who sells Gatorz Wraptors at an insanely cheap price. $45, an insanely cheap price not to try. Granted, the frames don't have the latest logo on the side. The frames are adjustable, which is nice. I've had them about a week. In either case, they look great and I am ordering a polarized pair to check out. If Guy Fieri wears them, I gotta try them (puke, jk). Squat cleans, check.

The most common glasses I see worn are the military issue m-frames like these: A bit off topic, but a friend of mine swears by those glasses. Dude is a professional badass: SWAT team, runs sub 3hour marathons, and he's 58 years old. If they're good enough for him, they're more than good enough for me. |

...and it's oh so nice when you know someone in law enforcement who can get you the substantial discount.

I have like 10 pair of oakley's. I never lose or break them so half of them are way out of style. I've recently decided I may be too old to pull them off anymore. Thinking of switching to Maui Jim's exclusively. I have 2 pair and love them.

Ended up with a pair of Maui Jim Freight Trains. I've tried on a bunch of them and the Freight Trains so far fit me the best. Will be trying on Wiki Wiki later to see if the slightly smaller size look better but so far I'm happy with these MJs.
Are all the higher end brands like oliver peoples actually have good lenses or are they just fashion brands? Last edited by BMW F22; 06-15-2013 at 04:21 AM.. |

Maybe I'm crazy, but I'd rather not be the asshole wearing a pair of Tom Fords or Oliver Peoples on the golf course.
Different sunglasses have different purposes. I'm not going to wear a pair of Oakley Radars with a suit, and I'm not going to wear a pair of wayfarers to go run. Call me lame, it doesn't bother me, but there really is a huge difference between all of these. |
