Just wanted to know which brand of sunglasses you good people prefer. Anyone had an eye saving experience because you had a pair on? Anyone had an experience when they wish they had of had a pair on?

 

Oakley. They're great glasses. But I only wear them because I buy them in at cost. If I had to buy them at retail; forget it......... Way too much.

Bought a pair of expensive glasses when I was 18 and trashed them a week later...... cried for a week and never did that again. [8D]

You can always find good protective lenses in reasonably priced brands.

And I always wear them on the scoot, and at night I wear the "night glass" ones.

Good luck, best to shop around online, you can get some damn good prices on the net.

 

Prescription, don't what kind.

 

I've been wearing Oakleys for a long time, just wanted to see what other brands people prefer. I have problems with the foam protectors around the lenses wearing out long before the glasses to too scratched up to use. The nose piece rubs me sometimes too. Hoping someone will offer altenatives they have experiences with.

 

If you want your eyes to be comfortable AND safe, there's only 2 companies; Wiley X and Panoptx. There's a reason the U.S. military uses Wiley X............and it ain't cuz theylook pretty. As for real world experience, I have a pair here that look like they went through a meat grinder, but they saved my wifes eyes, didn't fall apart and didn't shatter. I may not wear expensive gloves or $400 chaps, but I'm not messing around with my eyes.

 

Panoptyx, great day to night glasses that react well to light levels.

Expensive but fantastic!

 

Panoptx, great glasses and they have never fogged.

 

I wear Smiths interchanables, they are satter proof.
I heard the ***** G are good too,

 

CurvZ! $30.00+ at Harley or go elsewhere and get them for $23.00 to $25.00.

They're cheap compared to what these guys have, but are just as good. That way if you f#%k them up or lose them, no big deal. I know I destroy sunglasses and would never buy an expensive set.

Get theCurvZ with the soft foam that contours to your eyes.They do notlet the wind in and do not fog up. And they feel comfy on the face thanks to the spongy foam.



Quick search shows this website has them in many different styles...

Another vote for the Panoptix transition lens. Don't know about impact protection since I wear them under the face shield of my 3/4 helmet.
