Favorite Sunglasses?
Probably too many brands and styles to do a poll.

I'm old school. I still love the old Vuarnets:



But right now I have the Maui Jim's Voyager, similar to the Vaurnets:



I guess I'm in a sunglasses style rut!

What's your fave?

2. I've been an Oakley guy for years
Edited on Thu Jun-17-04 07:09 PM by Robb
...first when I worked for the ski area and got a pro discount. Now because nothing else comes close for my needs, quality-wise. Take it from a guy who lives at altitude, protect them eyes.

These are me, Half-Jackets:

5. arnette is probably my current fav..
though SPY makes really nice optics as well. I'm one of those weirdos who can manage to keep a pair of sunglasses for years, so have no qualms against shelling out a little extra for a good pair of shades. I have a pair of Rayban Olympian IIs that are over 14 years old, and in perfect condition!

19. My favorite pair of sunglasses...
are some generic ones that I found at a restaurant when I was on a trip out of town.

It was morning and I was eating breakfast, I think it was a Dennys.

They were just sitting on the table that we sat at. I didnt have any sunglasses at the time, and the sun was coming up so I decided to keep them.

I've had them about 6 years now.

21. My current sunglasses...
are rimless pince-nez, like the ones Laurence Fishburne wore in "The Matrix". It's kind of silly, but when I saw those, my first reaction was "those are fucking COOL. I MUST own a pair."

And here's what they look like...
