Well the time has come to ditch the old specs and get some new prescription sunglasses.
Sister found a great site glasses called eyewearbrands
Thinking some ray ban aviators personally though fear the Goose comparisons :grin:
So come on people let's see what you wearing....
-
Rayban wayfarers are back in, you can't beat the classic's
-
I have aviators with a mirror lense
Bought them in Ibiza in 2009 after the cheap glasses I got from the local shops started melting with the heat.
They are still perfect and kept in my car for sunny days

u aint doing it right if your not rocking the holbrooks :happy2:

I've got prescription vario-focal and polarized Oakleys:
They're limited edition grey and red frames. can't find a pic right now but will post one later.
Being vario-focal it takes care of sharp focus on both the car's instrument displays and the road ahead.
Although lightly mirrored they let in a lot of light and colouration remains very natural. I've had Bolle and liked them but the Oakleys are my best so far.

I wear Oakleys, have various pairs :drool:. :laugh:
Crosshair 1 Ti VR28 Iridium (polarized)
WHY 8, VR28 lenses (polarized)
Have 2 pairs of Juliet's, 1 pair is gen 1 X-Metal with Ruby lenses (Rare), other pair is Plasma frame with Gold Iridium lenses.
Penny X- Metal, VR28 Iridiums,
Romeo 1 X-Metal, black Iriduim lenses ( v rare and expensive now),
XX X-Metal, black iridiums and spare purple lenses.
Monster Dog, crystal black frame with black iridiums.
and finally (I think), a pair of Fuel Cell, polished clear with Violet Iridiums.
Phew !!!!! :happy2:
-
Oakleys for me, all polarised. Perfect

I used to wear Ray-Ban Aviators but had an accident on my bike and the metal frame just missed my eye. So it was plastics from then on. Classic shape though and a nice big lens.

I LOVE the Aviator glasses :happy2: Unfortunately I'd look sexier in those joke glasses. :sad1:
Ive tried loads of aviator style glasses…. ray ban, police, boss etc. They just don't suit me. :booty:
I think they are to rounded for me.
These are my Lacoste gigs…..

I normally hate Oakleys, however I bought a pair of Frogskins this morning.

Frogskins or GTFO.

Thought Oakley polorized was just an expensive gimmick until I bought a pair. Awesome glasses and won't buy anything else

....Oh no! Oakley know exactly what they are doing and their technology is world leading :notworthy: It's not just the 'brand label' which makes them expensive.
-
I've got polarised ray bans and I don't know how I used to drive without them
-
I have cheapo Vision Express frames with polarised lenses and the are spot on for driving. :happy2:
-
i need really dark sun glasses with only having sight out of one eye.I find the expensive sun glasses aren't dark enough for me :sad1:
and when i did have a expensive pair i always used to sit on them
-
Ray Ban Wayfairer's for me. My dad gave me an old pair about 5 years ago. I lost them, bought some brand new ones at alot of cost then found my old ones again.

I have to say, I'm not bothered about polarised lenses. I have some in a pair of Police sunglasses and although the difference is noticeable I find it hard to rave about them.

My white gold wayfarers. Awesome glasses. Used a lot this week. Stevie. :happy2:

+1 for wayfarers, the epitome of cool :jumpmove:

....I don't have a diagnosed condition but I can suffer from double vision followed by migraine and brought on by sudden bright light. I hate fluorescent light too. I find that the polarised lenses help reduce that liklihood and I'm glad to say that I haven't had a migraine for several years now.

Randolph Aviator
Been using these for approx' 15 years and would highly recommend. I use the Non-polarised (green tint) with bayonet temples. I was given these as a present by my father when I started my PPL Licence (he has used various pairs of these for years) and also use them in the car. Not sure if it's true but he said these are standard issue for the NASA astronauts (sounds good anyway, when peeps ask!)
Oh and only around the £100 Mark as well so not to bad!
:happy2:
-
Well went for these in the end.........delivery Monday hopefully.

Holbrooks are massive though. I tried a pair and they just looked daft.
Incidentally, I reckon every F1 driver at the moment wears Holbrooks around the paddock.

I remember when Oakleys made their first appearance in the peleton of professional cycling. I think they still are considered the height of cool. Bolle were cool too.
