Ray-Ban Wayfarers

 

I agree, I've wore B&L Ray-Bans for years. I've tried others, but they are still my favorites.

 

I wear Bolle sunglasses because I can put in a prescription insert. Have a pair of the swiftkick model. Have used Bolle's for years when cycling.

 

My Wayfarers are also prescription.

 

My next pair will be prescription, with the new DriveWear lenses, they are the first polarized darkening glasses and they darken with ambient light not UV. www.drivewearlens.com

 

I am partial to these:

This isn't my first convertible, and I became a big fan of the wrap around frameless sport type glasses a long time ago. Mainly because there is no reflection off of the inside glass. Polarization is also a must for driving into a low sun.

These are what I'm using at the moment. Maui Jim "Sandy Beach".




Anybody wearing these?:lol:

 

Aztec knows his shades!
I'm a Maui Jim convert. I've been wearing them for some years now. The lens coatings are extremely effective and when you learn which ones you want they are unbeatable. the glasses are also practically weightless and stay exactly where they're put. I so loved my Wayfarers but they weighed me down big time. M J's rule.- :lol:

I have a pair of Polarized A Wires

And a pair of Polarized Big Square Wires

AustinTashis I love the Ray Bans. And John Richards how do your Offshore fit. I have not seen a pair in store to try on. But I love having all 4 of the lenses polarized.

 

The Maui Jim Offshores are great. They fit my head perfectly and I love having the side protection from low sun to the left. They are very close to my eyelashes, so I leave them a little loose, which is fine because they wrap around very nicely. Got them at Sunglasses Hut in downtown San Francisco.

 

I also have a pair of A wires, they are great. Also love my RayBan Orbs. They don't make this model of the Orbs anymore though... oh well.

 

As a longtime Wayfarers man I have to say Maui Jims rule. My Optometrist said they were the best and after 2 pairs for me and one for the wife I agree.

 

Ray Ban Wayfarers in Tortoishell - they match my hair. I wish the black worked for me, but they don't.:cryin:

 

My current favs. Revo polarized 3063

 

Forgot the name, but the ones in my avatar are Ray Bans and they fit me great I wear a pair of Oakley Half Jacket SIs (Standard Issue) when in uniform or working out. (they have a subdued 0)

 

Wiley X Romer II. Semi ballistic grade (I use these when riding the trike too). Interchangeable lenses, lots of colors for lenses, wrap around style. Also issued to US forces.

 

I have those sunglasses also, I think they are great - but I only wear them when I'm on my motorcycle.

When I'm in my Sol I think the Romer ll just makes me think I'm still on my bike.

I like many of the Serengeti sunglasses for cruising in my Sol. I currently wear either the Serengeti Aviator or the Serengeti Corsa.

I wear the Serengeti Aviator when I'm in my airplane:

I wear the Serengeti Corsa when I'm driving:

And I wear the Wiley X Romer ll when I'm on my motorcycle:

 

I usually buy cheap ($7 to 15.) jobs with 100% uva & b protection. For the Sol, I HAD to find just the right pair.

It took a full month as I was intent on finding a perfect color match (a total surprise to my wife, as I am usually NOT a matching kind of guy). End result- RayBan wrap around with a moderately wide stem in AGGRESSIVE! I miss read the price tag (a total surprise to me!) but they were meant to be seen in a Solstice.

See 'em in Nashville!

 

I've got a pair of Prada sun glasses that match my Sly Sol Spooky's paint job perfectly.

 

I've worn Ray Bans, Serengetti's, Foster Grants
and cheapo's.
Right now I have Maui Jim's "Kanaha"

Very comfortable and they do a great job of blocking
any glare. Lightweight and flexible. Well worth the money.
I have had bad luck with breaking or losing sunglasses
so I am being extra careful with these.

 

I said something about this thread to my GF, she counted I have 17 pairs of singlasses right now, 1 prescrition pair, 2 pairs of Gatorz, 1 Icicles (I wish they still made these) 1 Vuarnet and the rest are cheapo's. I have a cheapo pair in Mean Yellow I picked up at the Harly Shop that a really nice for a $14 pair of shades and I love the fact they match the car. I am saving for my prescription shades with the Drivewear lens. (about $500 ) I am hoping new medical plan will pay some.

 

I said something about this thread to my GF, she counted I have 17 pairs of singlasses right now....

SINglasses? Do we dare to ask what you wear them for? :lol:

 

I have a pair from REI like these. Nothing expensive and very comfortable.

 

And you look good in them!

 

I currently wear the Oakley's M Frames, have been since I got the vehicle 6 months, with them being polarized, they help a lot.

 

I love the Oakely's, looked at them years ago and almost bought them until I found out what it cost to have the prescription put in , that killed that right there. Prescription is ground or molded into the lens by the manufacturer, was definitely a case of sticker shock. Still on the top of my list though, love the look of them.

 

yeah I can definitely understand where you are coming from, even without the prescription they're still over $200, but I use them to play baseball as well so it was worth it.

 

Come on now! They've been featured in many a popular picture here on SF; the two extremes AND some in between. If you've met me in person (natls or a run) you've seen me wearing them! They are prescription and they're all I've got, I love them to death... which is why I spent ~$350 on them. Good ol' 8 base, backside AR, RED MIRROR coat, custom ordered polarized sunglasses:

 

Looking in my glove box in my caddy I found this pair. They are Electric Digit polarized.

I know when I bought them was right after ordering my solstice. And I know what I was thinking these will look great in a red car with a black top. The fade from red to black looks great. But they are a little to kiddie for me now.

 

They would go great with the new Opel GT, both have the lightning bolt logo.
