I have Bolle Kickbacks with Eagle Vision lenses for Golf, and a pair with polarized lenses for general use and driving. They are a bit of a wide wrap, but I have a pumpkin head anyway Overall they are very light. My golfing pair gets hard use, and the lenses developed a crack near the nosepiece. They sent a new pair. So, good customer service

When I was flying a lot, I only used Serengeti. Back then, they actually used glass lenses with great optics. However, they tended to be heavy, and until recently the styles were not good

One of the Ray Bans I have has glass lenses as well, I really like them. I refer to those as my walking around pair

You guys have some crazy setups. I like the theory of Oakley glasses but am notmcool enough for them.

I loved my aviators I've been wearing for probably 8 years, but my new pair had to be plastic. I hate how metal glasses always dig into my big nose after awhile.

As I don't ever lose or break things ( aviators got knocked offmy face by a drunk guy this past weekend which i dont considermy fault) I want to say one pair is enough, but ya never know!


Keep em coming. Same post pics of ur titanium dominators

Big discount off MSRP, but still a lot of $$

I got mine at Sunglass Hut, there is a similar pair they carry that costs considerably less, but they aren't titanium. I had to have these though, so very comfy.
