I love my serengeti drivers. I've owned two pairs in the last 20 years. I lost the first pair. Not a scratch on either one of them and a great fit. Lightweight too!

DKNY prescription sunglasses, set me back about $200. Seems cheap compare to what you lot paid for yours.

Never have. I'm just not stylin'. I'm the guy @ Meijer's saying, "Hey honey, how do these look?" as I rotate the $7.00 sunglasses rack and have the tag hanging down to my nostrils as I try to look in the semi-reflective surface they call a mirror.

I've had nothing but Ray Bans for the last 20 years. I think I paid something like $120 for my current pair about 10 years ago.

I got Oakley c wires for $150 2 years ago and i love them. I think the old ones look cooler than the new ones. but its really like buying clothes unless you need them for perscriptions. just like clothes you spend the money for the better look

i disagree. while mine are prescription, so i may be biased here, i can't believe the number of people willing to walk around with cheap, optically poor lenses. more often than not they are scratched to buggery, and filthy.

i suppose it depends where you live, but in a climate like australia's, sunglasses are a necessity, not an accessory. buying good ones means better uv protection, more comfort, optically correct lenses, less eyestrain, and fewer headaches brought on by the blazing sun.

it wasn't until i moved to australia that i appreciated just how important sunglasses can be.

thats really true but you dont need to spend $350 on a pair of oakleys im sure you could get a smaller brand that also didnt look as good and get the same features for ALOT less. but there is definitely a difference between the oakleys and NY street "foakleys" but i meant spending $50 to $350 is alot about look

damn! and i thought my $110 Rudy Project Ekynox shades were excessive!

over $300?? rediculous!

BTW, the Rudys are excellent, especially for sports (they have a venting system and sweatproof nose pads). Plus, if i break or scratch the lenses, they'll send me a new pair of lenses for free. Not as cool looking as my pair of Arnette Titans that broke not so long ago, but much much more practical for cycling. Maybe one day i'll get a pair of RP Tayos.

Well, I got my prescription sunglasses in Europe, with the special ultra-thin (I have a somewhat strong prescription *cough*) lenses, and they were Up There.

 

[jlo mein]

im glad im not the only person who needs a high perscription...

my lenses would be pretty thick, if not for those special thin lenses. Plus, i wear contacts too, so they arent thick.

Im almost blind without corrective lenses. Regular novel type has to be within 4 inches of my right eye in order for me to read it. Its 3 inches if its my left eye, which is a lot worse.

Anyway, sunglasses

. I have non perscription sunglasses that i use with contacts that i got for $20

. They work fine, im not afraid to lose them, and i dont care if they break.

dont get me wrong, i wouldnt waste a minute buying Oakley Juliets if i had the cash.

My prescription sunglasses are Lofont - Paris and cost me $350 with discount since I purchased my regular prescription glasses at the same time which cost another $300.
