"Hung out?" Good choice of words... :rolleyes: :shock:

I never wanted to drop the coin on Oakleys, but a I won a nice set in a race, and wear them most of the time on the bike now. They really do have nice lenses. I received a pair of Nike Livestrong shades as part of a full Nike kit for coaching for Livestrong Challenge, and they were nearly as expensive, but no better than the $50 budget models I'd been wearing previously (though they looked better).

If I'm going to spend that much on sunglasses they are going to be prescription. The most I've spent on non-prescription was $70 for a polarized pair. Which got lost at baseball a couple of years ago. My Rayban's, at full price, would have been over $600

Hi all.. I've got Rx glasses as well from Costco. The lenses are made by Leica. I've got Leica eyes. They are the best sunglasses I've ever had and very reasonably priced


Not sure why, but call me JJ.

Sunglasses like anything else you wear is really subjective. Regardless of price point they have to feel comfortable and meet the needs you have.

They really are. And I love my Oakley's, but I don't wear them everyday, just when I'm doing something active, golfing, cycling, running etc. I just love how they cling to your head so you don't have anything resting on your ears.

I have transition lenses that darken automatically when I go outside. Works well for me. The only issue I have is that the anti-UV glass in vehicles prevents them from darkening properly so I use clip-ons when I'm driving.
