Favorite pair of glasses I’ve owned: Maui Jim Waterways. $130-150

Currently rocking the Maui Jim Castaways and really like them a lot.

Been an Oakley fan before people thought they were cool 15+ years ago.

oakley has been cool for 30+ years though.

I have Oakley's, but with a prescription in them.

 

[BS ISF]

i have been wearing Spy Optics Leo's and dirty Mo's. Good quality for Mid range prices.

I am kicking myself for not going Maui Jim Tail Slides...they are nearly $300 though, but felt VERY well built and were super comfy when I tried them. Ended up in a pair of Ray Ban New Wayfarer's I got "for free" (get points for awards at work, had enough for a pair). I was super stoked, until I got them. They feel so cheap and creak like you wouldn't believe. The polarized lenses are the best I've ever had, but I've only ever used $20 beater sun glasses.

I've been wearing Waves Classic sunglasses...they retail for $40, but you can almost always find a 50% off code somewhere. They are not very well built, and last about a year at most, but for $20 for a pair of plastic polarized glasses NFG.

I'd entertain some ideas for a Wayfarer style cheap polarized sunglasses...

I only buy Oakleys. I also drink monster. Maybe I am a Kyle...

Nah, now people hate on them because everyone wears them.

LOL

It is usually the Ray ban guys that want to do that and think they have a superior product

 

[Kensington]

I thought Oakley's were lame when I was 10, that opinion hasn't changed. It started when my uncle bragged they were shotgun proof

I can say, first hand, Ray-Ban does not have a superior product. You are paying for the name, not the build quality. I will not buy another pair.

Maui Jim DOES have a superior product to either Oakley or Ray-Ban in terms of design and quality.

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

Literally the biggest dbag sunglasses on the planet

GAS CANSSSS
FLAK JACKETTTT
TURBINEEEEE

Plus the fact they're mostly made of cheapshit plastic, cost $250, and scream "look at me"

I honestly didn't know there were oakley fans over the age of 19, excluding [MENTION=7923]DEEZUZ[/MENTION]

 

[DEEZUZ]

Yea i got black and yellow rugs, red/white flaks, and black cans.

I honestly don't really like any of them. I have replaced lens a few times and still shit.

 

[BeerOrGasoline]

Costa Del Mar nuthugger here.

Maui Jim also great but never found the style I liked for my huge head.

 

[daturbosix]

What about them white Oakley gascans?

 

[Broke EF]

They are almost all owned by the same company, including the stores.

I still wear Oakley's anyway, but its interesting to look into regardless.

Multiple pairs of Costa's with different lenses for conditions (full sun, part sun, overcast, etc) + 50% tinted windshield with 5% banner. I need all the migraine protection I can get.
