I've had several brands through the years--I like nylon/plastic frame, polarized glass lens. I currently have Arnette. I can't wait to either break or lose them.

I just got a new pair last year but if I have money left in my healthcare reimbursement account end of year I will get another set. Rather than lose the money high dollar glasses are in order.

Prefer Oakleys. My pair of M-Frames finally broke after 6 years. so it is time for a new set.

TW, ever go to a store, even Wal Mart, and wear the glasses they sell around the store without paying for them?

LMAO!

yes

yes I do

I need to look it up but there is a brand of chomomatic lenses that still turn dark/light in spite of uv protection on car windshield.

Haven't bought Oakley yet. But 5-6 years is about all I've ever gotten from Vaurnet or Ray-Ban. I wish these Arnette's would break--I not like

Chromatic is for harmonicas, although a person might look pretty cool strolling through Wal-Mart with a pair of harmonicas over their eyes

bolle makes great sunglasses

I've had the same pair of Oakley half-jackets since 2002. I wear my sunglasses ALL the freakin' time. I love the half-jackets 'cause you can change the lenses out. I have two frames.... silver and black. And blue polarized, orange polarized and black polarized lenses. I also have yellow lenses (for shooting) and clear lenses. Yes, I even wear my sunglasses at night, mainly during this time of year. We have a lot of people that like to spit in our faces, and if I get spit on, the glasses do a good job of keeping it out of my eyes.

I recently thought about buying another couple pairs of the new Flak Jackets. If you take care of your glasses and don't lose them, for the money (maybe $200 depending on your lenses) I think these are the best you can get.

last pair are rx straight jacket 2.0 Blood Frame with polorized VR28 Black Iridium lenses.... love them.

chief I like to play harmonica at Walmart. Just open box, play away while shopping then set in clothes isle prior to waiting in line to pay for drink.

good cheap fun

good fun is CHEAP fun!

I like to open the bottles in the liquor store and sample when the clerks aren't looking. Chief learned this trick at Indian School class titled 'How Get Drunk Free'.

I once found a pair of Bolle that were the cheapest ugliest looking things I had ever come across. If I had to pay $2 for them I would have walked on by. They turned out to be the best pair of riding glasses I ever had. 90 mph with no helmet and not the slightest breeze in me eyeballs. I was so bummed when I found out I lost them.

Chief, if you like the plastic frames, try Wiley X.

I have a pair of those and a pair of Oakleys. I like the Wiley X better.

Had a set of Ray Bans that I loved (cost me $120, but they were great glasses, and real glass) but I f***ing sat on them.

D'OH!

#16 That's why I don't pay more than $12-15 for a pair. Too easily broken, lost, damaged, etc.

MACS,

I haven't seen the Wiley brand. Shopping selection is slim here, but I will check them out when I'm next in Sonoma.

My Oakley M-Frames are 12 years old...I'll be a lost soul if/when they leave me.

I have a pair of Rudy project. I really like them, but it is the only pair of good sun glasses I have ever had, so can't really give much of a comparison.
