Oakley, hands down. I see you are a vet, check out USSTANDARDISSUE if you still have a DOD id card.

I wear Costa Del Mar sunglasses, worth taking a look at. Native is another good company.

These work great for me.   Lose a pair?  Scratch them?  Just order four more.

Funny thing about sunglasses.



I have a $16.00 pair of sunglasses from Wal-Mart that I've had forever.  As soon as I spend $50 - $60 on a good pair, they're lost or broken in a matter of days.

Oakleys, no doubt.

I wear Fives Squareds and Gascans in uniform, then I also have a pair of Holbrooks, Jupiters, Gascans with an American flag for the O, and some ballistic M Frames for my work eye pro.

Oakley Flak jackets XLJ and M-frames.  Best money I have ever spent and only sunglasses/shooting glasses I can wear.

My problem is most of them are too damn small.   My face (I guess?) is too big for most of them I try one.   The giant safety glasses fit great, though.

I tried this site and it links me to Oakleys.  Is this it?

ESS they are roughly the same price as oakleys, are ballistic proof, come with a hard case, and most have interchangeable lens. A popular company so there is bound to be a pair or few that will fit even the most uncommonly shaped heads. 5 year warranty and a lifetime-sustainment.

Oakley SI or Smith Optics.

ESS is a subdivision of Oakley.

I have a pair of ESS ICE and I like them.  A lot.

I'm going to get a pair of ESS Cross series as well since my prescription inserts will fit them as well as the ICE.  Getting ICE Naro for the spouse.

I would like to say thanks. I bought a pair of these and they are great. I even dropped them in Target and not a scratch. I would advise anyone who is like me with glasses to try them. cant beat them for the price. Oakley are way over priced for me and how I treat them. Wiley X's are ok but these are the best so far.

I have several pair of cool guy Oakleys I wear every day and I love them, but for shooting I always use my Revision Sawflys. They fit me well and the shape of the lenses matches up with the shape of my face so dust and shit (mostly) stays out as if they are sealed. Just my $.02

I've been wearing those with the Indoor/Outdoor lenses at work.  They have just enough tint to help on a really bright day, but unlike my other pair with the smoke lenses, I don't have to change them out when I walk instead since the plant has rules about tinted glasses indoors.
