Blenders or Tifosi are brands that are reasonably priced and different. https://www.blenderseyewear.com/ https://www.tifosioptics.com/ Blenders are American made.
I can't believe you guys aren't going crazy over the Tony Elias glasses. I mean, he's faster than you, if you had the glasses, you would be fast too...
after spending a few years in the gun industry, I have found that I like the Wiley X brand sunglasses. Plenty of polarized options, replaceable lenses, etc. currently sporting a pair of the Valor glasses. So far so good, plus they are shooting spec (MIL and ANSI rated).
I’ve worn Oakley forever on the golf course and mountain biking but I need a decent pair that won’t make me cry when they get fubar’ed with the salt water at the beach.
So, Mongo's comment about square aviators made me take a look. Their Archer model is exactly like my favorite Ray-Bans they don't make anymore, but damn they're expensive ($249). I'm going to have to find a store to try them on - they're hit or miss locally. I think there might be a gun shop or two that carries them in Middle TN, but maybe not all models.
Oakley all day. I make sure to have 3 pairs in inventory at all times. Prizm lens are definitely clearer than the regular polarized, but I'm not a total fan of the lens color choices.
I've worn Oakleys forever but they killed off the unisex ones I wore (contrary to what sam said about them being women's) but I'm disappointed in the quality and pricing on them anymore. Looking for something new.
I agree. I had the same thing happen to mine. Looking for a replacement. Smith makes some pretty good ones and they are moto related.
I've had authentic Oakleys and Raybans but each time I've preferred the Kirkland Signature lookalikes I bought for a fraction of the price at Costco. Build quality is superior (sometimes you get flexy hinges when the originals don't have them) and you get a nicer carry box. Costco FTW !!! Paid 40$ for my aviators and they are much better than my Ray Bans of the same model which I paid 125$. I also bought the Oakley Gascan lookalikes from Costco many years ago and they are still awesome.
I wear glasses pretty much all day every day since I drive so much for work and it's hard to beat Oakley for fit and comfort. Their prizm lenses are the shit too. 100% just came out with a bunch of new glasses though and I can't wait to get my samples in a few weeks to try them out.
