Sunglasses

Brad (Q), I'm sorry, but I'm still trying to figure out how your glasses look like.... are they these?

No, no...you've confused mine with the official glasses of krap maga.

I go with the Costas, myself. These, to be exact:

I went with the copper frames and vermillion lenses, though.

If I can find some of thier Reef Riders or some others from their performance collection, at a decent price, I'd like to pick those up. Until then it's my beat-up Dragons for yard work, sports, etc.
 
Ray-Bans all the way! Glass lenses, solid plastic or metal frames, literally thousands of styles, how can you go wrong? Plus, what self respecting musician doesn't wish they could be just like Jake and Elwood?!

Had some Oakleys years ago and loved 'em, but the new styles make me gag, and they're always made of cruddy plastic!
 
Oakley Blades for me. The prices for them on eBay are getting higher and higher, so I just grab me a pair of knock-offs at the flea market or a street vendor at one of our local festivals during the summer.

I've worn 'em ever since I was a wee little lad. I'm very sensitive to light and was told long ago that continued exposure to bright light would have a detrimental effect on my vision. Am not too keen on going blind.

My current pair are the ones I've got on in my avatar. Don't know what brand, but they do the job. Since I usually end up sitting on them by accident and having to buy a new pair (usually every couple of months), I don't sink too much cash into them.
 
I sport a pair of Vuarnet Ski sunglasses for the winter or the beach. I've had them about 15 or so years. They are really strong and I've gotten quite used to them. My vision seems to improve, I suspect because my pupil is so wide when I wear them.

I supplement those with cheapies, slender type sporty things, usually a knock off.

I hate going out in the sun with out any sunglasses....:cool:
