I like to rock the Costa Isabelas with the Black/Coral Frame and Copper 580p lenses.

Gotta have the polarization!



I know people are proud of their sunglasses...post them up!

I love Maui Jim's lenses but they all look douchey so usually just oaklies with their best lenses (amber polarize iridium)

used to be oakley's and bolle's, but I am rough on my sunglasses so I decided to stop spending that kind of money on things that either get broken, scratched up, or lost with the quickness. Now I prefer Peppers (which i get for 25-35 bucks), which actually are just as good.

and in all honesty, I have some of the HD sunglasses in the aviator frame. My father in law ordered a set and they sent him a couple more for free, and he decided to give me a set- they are pretty awesome! there isn't anything too special about them, they might be double polarized, but what makes everything "pop" is the fact that they use amber lenses in them (which is something I get in half of my peppers now anyway). I like them though!

I've got a pair of Raybans and Persols, but I can only wear them, now, with my contacts, which I have a hard time wearing.

I have a pair of AngloAmerican Frames which I've had prescription tented lenses put in.

I rock my raybans on the constant (well whenever I feel like wearing my contacts)

I haven't worn my Chanel glasses in a while

There's a pair of Oliver Peoples I'm eyeing like nobody's business right now.

Funny thing is that the Rx glasses are my same normal frames, but in black with gray tents. The glasses lady laughed at me for this, and I just stared her down.

my fucking dog got a hold of my favorite kate spade sunglasses and busted out the lens on one side so I really need to get those replaced because I miss wearing those.

I want some aviators as well, but I don't think I can settle with buying a cheap pair

(sunglasses are like handbags to me...can't have enough)

My favorite are a pair of Maui Jim Kahunas (gunmetal frames, grey lenses). They are great; I never would have bought them myself (my dad got a couple of pairs through his company and gave me one of them).




I also have a pair of Ray-Ban Predators:


...and being, well, an aviator, I want a pair of Ray-Ban aviators at whatever point I bend up or otherwise ruin the cheap pair of aviators I have right now.

Bolle Hampton. Have had them for several years now and they're still going strong. Fantastically well-made pair of glasses.

^^I used to have that mindset but then as soon as I got my costas I treated them a lot differently. Plus, with the amount of time that I spend on the beach and on the water I need a good pair of lenses for my eyes.

But FYI...if someone wants a pair of classes that are similar in quality to Costas but about $100 or more less than Costas get some Calcutta glasses. The lens quality isn't as great, but they are still a good solid pair of polarized glasses for bright days on the beach or water. And you can get them for around $30 retail.

No, they just happen to make very well made sunglasses with nice dark polarized lenses. The lenses are removable as well which makes cleaning them a breeze.

My first pair lasted about 6 years. I'm already at 2 years on my second pair.

Wiley X Bricks

Has a removable foam insert that goes between the glasses and eyes. Great for motorcycle riding or keeping blowing sand out of your eyes.
Can get them polarized or not.
Has an optional headstrap which is good when water skiing, jetskiing or other activities
They also fit comfortably under headsets when flying.

All Wiley X glasses are Rx-able

I have a pair of costa del mar stringer sunglasses that I got from the lost and found at Ruckus (thanks, Joel!). Prior to that it was a couple different pairs of oakleys.

I thought I'd never be able to wear aviators, but I tried on a pair someone left at a bar once, and they were perfect. I lost that pair and had to try on 100 different pairs of aviators before I found the correct size again. Not everyone can wear them, but if you find the right size...they are great.

Also...no one should still wear Oakleys.
