What kind of sunglasses do you wear?

Oakley juliets! They're awesome glasses with metal frames. You can adjust the rubber inserts on the nose piece and the pivot point on the frames. The frame pivots on the nose piece and of course on the arms that hold them to your nugget. They are the most comfortable glasses I have ever owned. If you have a fat or unique shaped head they can be customized to your dome by installing different sized rubber inserts.

My juliets are over 4 years old and still in awesome shape. However, it's about time I replace my lenses. The juliets are a bit on the costly side but for good comfortable sun glasses that I have had for over 4 years, it's well worth it!

And then the old fart says, "Whatever I can get for under $40!" LOL! I had one pair of genuine Oakleys--my sister and I were looking at them just for fun (in my mind, anyway), and when I started to put them back, she got annoyed and told the counterperson to ring them up (she bought them for me!). I just can't justify expensive sunglasses, shoes, watches, etc., when I can get the same effect for WAY less elsewhere. Okay, I'll leave you to your fun now, but just think of this--how many more parts could you have bought for your truck by now if you weren't spending so much on glasses? Food for thought...

I completely agree! My last pair of glasses I had bought in the mall for 15 bucks! I do have a pair of polarized glasses my Grandpa had bought me for when we went fishing together. But 5 years ago he passed and I dont wear the glasses unless im fishing. I just cant have something happen to that pair. But I am ready to buy a expensive pair, they will only be warn when im with friends or driving. So they will be kept safe. I have been looking around and most 120$ Oakley can be found on amazon for for 80 or 90. So that is okay with me

I used to buy cheap $10 pairs, but would lose or break them...ended up buying 10 pairs in a year! When I decided to buy some Oakleys, I found myself taking better care of them. I've only gone through 3 pairs in the last 8 years. And I still have all three, just changed up the styles a bit.

and izzard, whatchu know about rec specs? some of my friends used to rock these back in the day!

Looks like the exact same glasses to me. I thought I remembered seeing those as Carrera's before.

This is my second pair and I love them. Unfortunately I cracked the frame and the lens fell out and cracked as well. They're super glued in now and it works but I'm still thinking about getting new ones. Unfortunately I can't think of any other shades I've liked so I'll probably end up buying a second pair of Brines and using these for work.
 
I'm a watch and Sunglass whore......

I've got Oakley flak jackets purchased from usstandardissue.com

I really like the Oakley fastjackets (I used to want the Half Wire polarized, now out of production). Thing is: I've gone through many Oakleys over the years (@ $200-250). I'm done. My wallet is finished taking a beating getting something I'm going to abuse anyway (lost a couple of them, inadvertently sat on them, scratched them when they were dropped on driveway, etc).

I bought 2 polarized sunglasses from Target ($25) and put them in my Runner and Civic. (I'm forgetful and b/c they are cheap, I don't care if they are destroyed/lost). I love Oakleys but I don't deserve to have them.
