So I broke my pair of Revo 3030 Viper sunglasses (cracked lens) and I'm in the market for new sunglasses. I'm looking for based on importance:

1) Lens (best protection as far as glare, UV ray, polarization, etc.)
2) Reliability (Flexible, scratch resistant lens, lightweight, etc.)
3) Style (Sleek looking design.)

The 4 sunglasses I have narrowed it down to are:

Oakley-NANOWIRE 2.0
Maui Jims Ka'anapali 501-23
PERSOL Sunglasses 2283
Oliver Peoples NITRO

What do you think?

 

That's 4 choices

I have some Oakley Polarized Whiskers. I like it and take good care of it so no scratches on the lens.

 

I think Maui Jim are the go myself but wouldn't someone have to have tried all 4 of the brands you mention to answer your question?

 

I seem to always lose or break my glasses..I just buy it from the gas stations now.It seems i get one every other week.

 

that's 4 choices.

I'm partial toward Oakley b/c my store sells them. however, Maui Jim is very good.

 

Maui Jim all the way. I was a sunglass collector, Ray Bans, Oakleys, Revos, Nikes, the list goes on....but no more. My Maui Jim's and me are inseparable. I have a pair for driving and profling, and one for golf.

 

I have no way to test drive the 4 sunglasses I have listed because my small town lacks variety, I've only seen pictures of them online.

 

Have 2 Oakleys over 5 years old 1 over 2. 3 others over 5 I lost some where along the way. While I have to given other brands a try I have to say the Oakleys have served me well. Here in the south wear them year round.

 

go to your local eyeglasses place, put a $25 deposit and ask them to order a pair.
bakersfield isn't THAT small.
