What do you guy like? I usually wear tinted safety glasses but I'm thinking about buying real shades.

Oakley. Bought a pair 7 or eight years ago when I got lasik. Wear them near daily for hiking, shooting, swimming, ect. Still in great shape.

My Oakley Juliets are 15 years old and they're starting to show their age. Anything else cool and durable?

Oakley for active stuff, Maui Jim for fishing.

Maui Jim's don't hug my face like Oakley's, but they wrap around more which is better for water.

I like Smith Optics with Techlite glass lens. I'm rough on them and they last forever. I use a cheap pair of tinted safety glasses for shooting.

Something that fits your face. People always ask me what glasses or sunglasses, but i always tell them whatever fits your face.

Some people look like clowns with oakleys or ray bans.

I have to do prescription and did a pair of Maui Jims. Nice but i don't know how tough they'll be.

I have wiley x for safety glass at work and old x-metal (cast Titanium) oakleys in the truck. I need to rebuild the oakleys but they are rugged bastards that won't die despite horrible abuse.

X metal squares by Oakley. I sent my Juliets in for a tune up and the repair guy calls to tell me he broke them beyond fixing...
They offered me the Xmetal squares as a replacement. A total upgrade and operator as fuck!

I have liked the ESS glasses I've had.

I have several pairs of Oakleys with Revant lenses(Oakley lenses suck), and then a casual pair of Ray Bans. Like my Oakleys for fishing and boating.

I've owned several different pairs of Oakleys through the years, and i've never had a bad thing to say about them.

I've still got nearly all of them - just moved from style to style over time.

I'm a white guy. So I wear Oakleys. It's the law.

Flak Jacket XLJ. They're about 7-8 years old. Slightly scratched but work great. I wear them for driving, shooting, hiking, almost anything.

My brother used to wear those exclusively. Then he finally bought some Oakleys and he's pretty impressed with them. The amount of distortion that crappy safety glasses have is pretty high. Oakleys are clear and are much easier to wear all day.

I've been wearing Oakleys for years.
