OT: Sunglasses

I think chicks look hot when they wear big sunglasses.

Whatever you buy just get a pair of these. You look like a douche but they work. I never go drinking without them.

Those look nice. I'm thinking Oakley of some type may be the way to go. I'll probably head to REI to try a bunch on, then purchase online.

The problem I have with a lot of the Oakley's is, frankly, they either look feminine or just make you look like you're trying way to hard to be something, even if they are high quality sunglasses.

The XXs are simple, smooth, low profile, effective.

I mean, if you can wear sunglasses like this without looking like a complete tool, you are a far greater man than I:

I'm tempted to write and bitch to Oakley. I take offense to those glasses. I've been working on oil rigs for several years and I've NEVER seen anyone wear something so ghey. How the fuck did they come up with that name for those stupid looking things???

Back on topic: Maui Jim are the best sunglasses I've ever spent good money on. I had a pair I dropped in the road leading onto the rig location that got buried under rocks for a week and run over by water, cement, & mud trucks repeatedly. When we found them we had to use a pocket knife to pry the flattened case open, and the glasses were still usable. One lens had a small crack and the other had a little scuff. Now I don't wear the issued safety glasses at work anymore. I tell the safety personnel when they can bring me a pair of glasses that are as durable as these, I'll wear them but until then I'm protecting my eyes as I see fit. (They're also super lightweight & comfortable.)
 
I have a $15 pair from wal mart that I used to wear when I still had contacts.

Now I just squint a lot. It goes well with my scowl.

But Dude Macho Man Randy Savage would LOVE them!
 
In that case, I retract my earlier statement and I'm going out to buy some right now.

Actually, I think you just proved my point, lol.
 
I've got a pair of Oakley Racing Jackets and love them, no hinge makes them a pain for storage but i've never had to even adjust them when doing something and I've been jet skiing, paragliding, sprinting with a sled, running stairs, flipping tires etc with them. The lenses are also really good, they are not dark but it takes the glare from everything. The vents also actually help to keep the lenses clear as well as looking pretty spiffy

You could always use "sun goggles" and scare away the competition
 
I will never spend more than $20 on sunglasses because I always break or lose them somehow.

Fatty, you doing another contest soon?
 
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try to check some of these out soon. I've always bought Smiths, but was thinking of trying something a bit more sports oriented, so we'll see.
 
Oakley is the way to go in my opinion. They are specifically made for sports, and have impact resistant lenses. I have been wearing the minutes and the half jackets for years now and I don't think I'll ever buy another type of sunglasses. They are sleek, low profile, durable, amazing clarity, and they look cool. They also give you the option of getting standard or polarized lenses with pretty much every model they make. The minutes and half jackets are made for guys like me who have a narrow head. If you have a wider head, I would recommend you look at the straight jackets, FLAK Jackets, RADARS, and 20s. Of course Black on Black is the way to go, I think the colored lenses look stupid, but that's just my opinion.
