***Lets talk about Sunglasses***

[BWillie]

What kind of bad ass shades are you highly stylish ****ers sporting?

I just lost my most expensive pair (only $80). I'm about -2 and -1.75 and I'm finally going to break down and get some expensive prescription stylish sunglasses. Tired of being blind when I wear sunglasses & no contacts are not an option. I'm one of those people who can't touch their own eye.

Do not respond if you wear crocs, jean shorts, or like sunglasses like this:

Nope

Yep

I'm primarily an Oakley guy - have some Half Jackets (I think) for sport, Jupiters and Deviations for casual. All polarized. Not cheap, not crazy expensive, definitely worth it.

I had a pair of Maui Jims that I really liked, but left them at a bar a couple years ago, sadly.

FYI, if you have FSA or HSA, you can use that money on prescription glasses - that's how I got my MJs.

What exactly is polarized, just makes it so it's not as dark but still protective of the sun? Can you get polarized lenses that are still mirrored in a certain color?

I think polarized means light can only enter from one direction.

Yes, and polarization reduces glare, especially on bodies of water.

It basically reduces glare, and improves visual quality through the lenses. In sunny conditions, it makes a big difference, and on water or snow, it's a game changer. I'll never buy non-polarized glasses after having owned polarized.

AFAIK, you can get mirrored polarized lenses, and can definitely get a variety of lens colors.

I've never owned or worn a pair

Sore subject for me. I’ve never owned a pair that cost more than $40, and never lost or broke any of them. You can see where this is going. I bought a stylish pair of wood grain Oakley’s for $200. I only had them for two months when I put them in my pocket and took off walking. They worked their way out and flew across the pavement, lens side down... scratches galore!!! I don’t think I’ve ever cussed more in my life! I’ll never pay that much again.

Ugh. That sucks. Sunglasses are weird for me. I never remember putting them down or how I lose them. When I check the only possible establishment they would be, the lost and found never has them.

I like the look of most of those wood grain ones, especially the ones that have mirrored blue, green or purplish lenses.

I almost always have a hat and put them above the bill.

The stupidest thing was, I didn’t want to buy them because I was nervous. But, my wife said “you’re great with sunglasses, you’ve never lost or broken a pair. Just get them, they look great!” She jinxed me!!! They’re so awesome that I still wear them, but I get self-conscious when someone talks to me up close. Lol
