I never has this brand before. It looks nice but I am not sure about the quality about this frame.
I know oakley is pretty good but the hugo looks really sharp.

Any hint/suggestion?

Thanks.

pics? Metal? Plastic?

It's really hard to tell which frame you're talking about :S

Since you're in canada, take a read through this thread on red flag deals, lots of useful information in there, and all from someone with experience in the industry.

I recently got some new glasses to replace a pair that was pushing 5 years, and I went with some timex titanium frames (plain Ti, not an alloy). They weren't too expensive, $150, but I care more about optics than a name brand frame, my numbers are quite high and I need high index lenses to keep them thin. If you have minimal correction, then sure, get the designer frames, but otherwise, spend your money on higher index and optically superior lenses (i.e. Essilor instead of Hoya or similar).

Oh. Sorry it is Hugo boss 0032.

The front part is titanium and the temple is plastic.

Thanks a lot for the info. My number is not that bad so... but my problem is I kind of have a big head

If you plan to buy from internet, I recommend actually going to try that exact same model before you try it - weight distribution might be off, bridge may be too small, etc.

I generally avoid half-frames because I'm somewhat careless and that often leads to several chips on the bottom of the lens.

I have a pair of Starck Alux and they've served me pretty well:

Dude, Starck Alux, I really do not have that kind of cash for a glass.
Anyway I am going to order it from local shop.
Thanks for info though.
