Just wondering if anyone out there is really into sunglasses???

Are the $200 and up pairs worth it??

I can't say if it's worth it or not, that's up to you. But I did put $500 myself into a pair of prescriptioned Oakley Juliets.

I don't know, is it me or does this seem kinda funny being heard from a group of people who spend $200-$300 easy on headphones? The most I have spent would be for Oakleys at around $70 for the Fives. I can't see paying more than $100 though. If you really don't have the cash, hang around Washington D.C. to score the counterfeit Oakleys.

But Born2bwire...Vert did say that his are prescription glasses. They will always be more expensive than stock....

I usually lose them or sit on them, but I took a plunge and bought some Oakley Zeros for $120.00. But I am paranoid to wear them so they sit in their case and I wear my Bolles'.

 

[lextek]

Oakley only.

I purchased the most expensive oakley X Metals = $750 AUS$
they are not that much better than the rest , its a I just love the look of them AND I had to have them

My friends shake their head.
I have sat on them ect . they will never break

i would kill for the same model oakley juliets that Ichiro wears...so styling...just cant afford them

.

Counterfeit oakleys? lot of those in chinatown Vancouver, BC. However, i never bought any because they look CHEAP. They write oakley on the bridge of the glasses, except they write "oakl=y" instead, and in big letters it looks stupid. Plus they are made of cheap plastic and have bad silver paint jobs.

I would rather go out and buy point zero sunglasses for $30 than buy those counterfeit oakleys for $25.

 

[Born2bwire]

The ones I saw said, "Oafleys"

I've sat on my Oakleys, but they were fine. Lost them in a trip to the Georgetown Mall

. But I scraped a little more cash together and got another pair. I guess the idea goes, if you can't afford to lose/break them, then you shouldn't get them.

I've been lucky with my shades...

I've had a pair of Ray Ban Aviators for about 12 years. They're like new...I always put them in the case...

and then there are my Oakleys that I bought in Vegas about three years ago....I wear them everyday that I'm out and about!!!

I haven't lost, or sat on my sunglasses....yet!

 

[dhwilkin]

I have a pair of prescription Ray-Bans, don't remember the model. Very worthwhile, cost around $150. That said, I don't care enough about sunglass styling or construction to pay anything above that.

 

[ray4jc]

maybe i can score a pair of oakley scars off of ebay for cheap.......gotta save up for that meta........post 100...woohoo

[elipsis]

I bought a $300 pair of Emporio Armani sunglasses, then promptly lost them.

I learned my lesson.

The best all around sunglasses I've found is the Serengetti Drivers. For water and snow sports, the Serengetti Vermillion which is half silvered on top and bottom of lenses.
