Cheap Sunglasses

[Frankencelery]

Great, now I'll have ZZ Top in my head all day.

I'm sick of crap drugstore sunglasses. They have terrible distortion either off the shelf or 5 minutes after you buy them. I used to wear Oakleys, which were truly amazing in terms of clarity, but I avoided them because I tend to lose sunglasses. The last pair is at the bottom of a quarry near my house. But it's been 7 years and 17 pairs (or so) since my last pair of Oakleys, so I decided to look some up. Then I said, out loud, "ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? $200? REALLY?" So I thought I'd ask, what do you guys wear? I've got goggles for riding, but those aren't tinted either, so they're not too good in bright sunlight, and I really need something good for driving and riding my mountain bike.

I have a pair of Black Flys Sonic Fly sunglasses. The Black Flys fit great. I also have a pair of Spy Logan's. I like the look of the Logans better but the arm have a little part that rubs into the bone above my ear, so the pain makes me adjust them above my ear a little after a few hours of use. Spy now sells a limited edition Monster Ken Block edition Logan that I want. Black Flys sells a Fly Detector Limited Tattoo edition I would also like to have.

Sonic Fly on the left, Spy Logan on the right. I pictured them with the holder they come with. For the same price for both ($120) the Black Flys come with a hard case. Which is really nice. They are both polarized. As far as the extra price for polarized sunglasses go, the way they protect your eyes makes it 100% worth the extra money. I've driven for 4 or 5 hours head on into the sun with no problems. Something you can't say with regular unpolarized sunglasses.




As far as Oakley's go I would love to have a pair of Oakley Gascans.

Berkley fishing sunglasses at Wal-Mart. They were like $12 and I have used them almost every day its been sunny for the past 5 months and they are just as they day I bought them. I have a fat head and I have trouble finding a pair that won't give me a migrain headache from wearing them, but these are wide and very comfortable. I wear them on average 12 hours a day when I'm at work.

They are light and I forget they are on top my head a lot of times.

Years ago I bought a used pair of Oakley blades from a friend, and they had a bronze-ish lens that turned everything yellow but everything had amazing contrast. I bought several more pairs, because I would lose them, and after a while they stopped making that color and I gave up. Then I tried again and they had a color called persimmon, but nothing really came close. I've been looking for a good pair of high contrast sunglasses ever since. If someone could find that color lens with that clarity, I'd probably pay whatever it cost, but for a plain old gray lens that reduces your vision, forget about it. As for those Ray-Ban aviators, I know they're...um....back in fashion, but I like a modern more wrap-around that keeps light and crap coming in from the sides.

I have a pair of gas cans and a pair of oil rigs and a pair of oil drums. Whatever you get go with polarize, non polarized Oakleys suck balls.

[Kintore]

I like aviators too, but I like a nice set to roll around with for a lil more high class


Im a big oakley fan, got these about 2 years ago now and LOVE them.

Bout 100 bucks I think.
Oakley gascans they are called

Ummm, do you wear them with that tag fer the last 2 years? (lol).

[playasridebmx]

i rock a pair of 3m virtua theyre safety shades and are only about 5 bucks at the airgas store so im not out of alot of money if i lose them or they get scratched really bad... and to be completely honest, i didnt pay anything for the ones im wearing... grabbed them off the shelf and went to pay and the guy at the counter said they couldnt charge my card for anything under 10 bucks so they gave them to me

For Work I have Oakley Crosshairs, with a VR28 lens, Aviator styling for excellent coverage with very little perimeter leaks (no glare on the back of the lens).

Good not work sunglasses are Oakley Square wires, VR28 polarized lens (similar to these)

I even wear Oakley prescription glasses (Straightline 4.0). Have had the same frames for almost 8 years, They have, without a doubt been the most rugged and best wearing/fitting glass frames I have ever had. About once a year I replace the nose pcs and ear socks and they are good to go again.
Oakley also really has good service on there glasses as well, On my crosshairs a couple years ago i bent the frames pretty good and the lens kept popping out, sent them back and for a $50 one price fixes all I got a brand new set back.
