JellyBelly 1 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I'm thinking about getting some new sunglasses - once that I could wear out and about and also when skiing. For good days of course. Something fairly sporty, but not overly sporty looking. Any good ideas? Link to post Share on other sites
1 4 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 You might want to check out some Oakleys. They have a big range outside the really sporty looking ones too. Link to post Share on other sites
Hokkaidough 4 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Yes I was going to say Oakley. Too much choice is the problem! Terribly overpriced though, as we all know. Link to post Share on other sites
tokabochi 9 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Overpriced. But I really like sunglasses. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I like Oakleys but I can't justify spending so much on a pair of sunglasses. I'm also hopeless at taking care of stuff and I would lose them or break them pretty quickly.....that's why I go for Uni Qlo's 1000 yen ones, cheap n cheerful and do the job Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I like sunglasses too. Got some very nice Ray-Bans that I wear most. Not wearing them skiing though, cheapos will do me there. Link to post Share on other sites
Tex 3 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I like these... they are sporty looking however but GREAT lenses. Not cheap either... Adidas Evil Eye Link to post Share on other sites
Wizz 11 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Problem I have is I really need prescription lenses in glasses. Or I want it anyway so I can actually see stuff! Link to post Share on other sites
nagpants 1 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I'm in the market for some new ones now I seem to have lost my beloved old ones. Link to post Share on other sites
iiyamadude 6 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 That Adidas one is good, might get some as a treat. Link to post Share on other sites
igloo 3 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I have some of these Oakleys. Like! Link to post Share on other sites
nagpants 1 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I have some Adidas Naola that are good for a bright day on the slopes and aren't mad sporty looking so you can wear them anytime. Link to post Share on other sites
nagpants 1 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Look like this Link to post Share on other sites
JellyBelly 1 Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 I like them igloo thanks. Link to post Share on other sites

timcrowe 1 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I really like Maui Jim, like all good sunnies, not cheap, but they do offer good warranty on arms. I had mine replaced twice. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I always prefer sunglasses to goggles. Never go out when it's bad weather anyway really, the big wuss I am! Got some Ray-Bans, had them for years. Still love them things. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I wear sunglasses when the weather is fine too, mainly for driving, but I never buy expensive ones as no matter how careful I am with them I usually manage to loose, break or misplace them after a short time.

Go Native 70 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I actually almost never wear sunglasses. I have some for Spring skiing conditions in fine/warm weather but that's it. I much prefer goggles over sunglasses and only switch to sunnies if it's very warm. I've had the same sunglasses for skiing for around 12 years now. Probably worn them only once or twice a year.

muikabochi 208 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I'm the opposite actually I wear them almost every time I am outside and throughout the year. Unless it's dull or dark of course ( ). Oh, and I don't wear them indoors either. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 One other thing about sunglasses. If you wear el cheapo pnes, they may not be doing anything to actually protect your eyes, and even do them some harm. I like a good pair of sunglasses. Link to post Share on other sites
rider69 18 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Cheapo ones suck poop. I like Smith as they have some good products and many sales. Link to post Share on other sites
iiyamadude 6 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Agree, cheap sunglasses are just .... cheap. And not helping your eyes. Link to post Share on other sites
Ezorisu 0 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 There was something I read a long time ago that essentially said that cheap sunglasses are worse for your eyes than no sunglasses at all because: 1) poor optics cause distortion that make your eyes work overtime focusing, so you get eye strain. 2) dark tint without any UVA/UVB protection makes the iris in your eye open larger (because it is dark) and allow more UVA/UVB to reach your corneas.
