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.

Oh yeah, I'd have to have the titanium. Easily the most comfortable sunglasses I've ever worn.

I like the Oakley Whisker that I have now. It's relatively conservative looking while still giving my eyes good coverage. Plus, I think they're reasonably priced for a decent polarized lens.

I feel like the more modern and technical glasses don't fit my personality. I take my eyewear as a joke. Which is why I had aviators and now went to wayfarers. They are by no means good looking IMO. But why I said I'm not cool enough to wear cool glasses

I had a couple pair from walmart from the sporting sectino that were $5 and polarized. they did the job during my week long trip - i was spotting fish like a pro...... i left them in WI though haha.
Best thing ive found is get a pair that has a case you can keep them in - or get a case for any cheap pair you get. it will extend their life dramatically

My back-ups that I use when I'm not driving are a pair I got at REI while at the checkout. The name on them is "Peppers" - they're beat all to hell too, but they do the job.

I almost picked up some aviators a few weeks back. Still tempted.

Ray Bans never fit my face very well. They were the 1st pair I ever got (aside from the junk in Spencers) I tried 2 different styles & gave up on them & moved to REVO. I wanted some Vaurnet, but they seemed to only have styles I didn't like (this is pre-internet guys 
) I went through 2 pair of those & had bad luck with them. 1st pair flew off my head - hit the pavement & the glass (yes glass) popped out - frame got cracked. Bought another pair - scratched the lense (still glass) in about a month. It's been Oakley ever since that is as soon as they came out with something that didn't look like blades.

These are my "old school" Ray Bans with the glass lenses. They're called Crosswalk Square.
