Sunglasses

Only wear sunglasses when I'm driving and usually on a couple of times a year, when the suns very low, got a pair of ray ban that I wear on holidays abroad, but just cheap ones for the car.
 


Always just buy cheapey ones as I'm fairly careless and clumsy but now I'm a big boy I fancy treating myself to some proper fancy ones. Been looking at Oakleys (cue lols at saying they are fancy) but can anyone recommend some better makes/models? Be looking to spend 100-150 smackerooneys.
Cheers.

Can't beat Oakleys for wearing all day - they weigh nothing so don't cause any discomfort.
 
Oakley optics are pretty amazing mind. I’m currently on my second pair of gold iridium lensed geps (only cos I lost the first ones while mortal) and you can wear in any light conditions from bright sun to overcast/dusk and still see perfectly. I wear them to drive every day as well as cycling, holidays and general use and the two pairs have lasted me over 15 years.

On a serious note, with sunglasses you do get what you pay for.
I’m always suspect of designer brands that you’re paying for the name/frame design rather than the optics. Oakleys come with a sheet of sciencey stuff explaining how all the lenses differ and what’s best for different conditions. Guccis come in a nice box.

Perfect for grandads.

#clubmasters look sensational and if anyone on this thread tries to say blocking out the sun is their main and primary aim of wearing sunglasses they are liars.
Don’t call me a liar son. I couldn’t function outdoors or driving without sunglasses.

I've been considering a set of these Dave.

I’ve a pair of Oakleys for running and Ray Bans for the rest of the time. Both polarised. The ray bans are a thousand times better lens.
