Sunglasses: What are you using?
Im in desperate need to replace my scratched up sunglasses. I'm just wondering if it's worth paying for pricey ones like, Costa, Oakley, or Wiley X. I don't need/want the foam around the frame, so what is everyone using?
Flea market Cheapies .... Ride, Scratch, Replace
I ride daily and nothing pisses me off more than gravel sand and rocks scratching up a $100+ dollar set of Gargoyles Oakley's or Wiley's ...
Easier to throw and replace cheapies
LOL

RayBan Predator II's Polarized as they stay on my face going 90 and 100 mph besides looking good going to the grocery store.
Just can't beat em.
I also like the RayBan 3498's Polarized too and have some Icicles aluminum ones but they seem heavy after wearing the plastic Ray's which I favor most of all.

I use the bell transitions face shield for when I'm riding. When I'm off the bike I either wear Oakley crankshaft sunglasses or Oakley drop point sunglasses. Sometimes Maui Jim stingrays.
Yes I'm a total sunglass freak. But when riding you can't beat the transitions face shield. It changes its degree of filtration very quickly to adapt to the lighting conditions. We're talking 30 seconds to a minute or so.

I will splurge on sunglasses as the imperfections in lenses of the cheap-o's make me crazy.
I wear Persol sunglasses. They are made with crystal lenses and are photo-polar. They are pricey, but I've found I can get a few $$'s off using Amazon.
