Sunglasses - the best of the best

Has anyone been using the latest offerings from Oakley ?
Whilst in the past they were more a fashion accessory - over the recent years they have put some serious effort into the sports market and have a fairly decent range .

I have prescriptions, used to always go Rayban, never had a problem except one of the little arm screws rusting out from sweat (after 5 years) went to Oakelys last time, they are good, but not as good as the Ray Ban, may go back to them next time around

I have always used Oakley. They are relatively cheap circa 100 from the USA for gas can model. Polarising is good, light weight and no metal in them ie no rusty springs or screws. I have bought the hijynx for normal driving and fashion. Gas cans has been my fishing ones. I change the lenses from grey polarised to iridium depending upon brightness. Iridium are too dark for everyday driving use and mostly use the grey polarised. They do scratch over time, especially if dropped on bitumen etc. fitting seems to be good, never dropped off or felt lose after a couple years of use even leaning over retrieving fish etc. sure there is better and worse out there and cheaper and more expensive etc. just my review on ones I have used daily for a few years. Onto my third pair of gas cans. (About 2 years of daily use and abuse per pair) Only had the hijynx for 3 months but not using those for fishing etc.

I've actually given the Smiths Optics a go ..... (evolve)
Now I'm normally a glass lense fan - but these were really light & while they block out light from the side quite well - they allow air to move arond them meaning that it is less likely to fog up & stay fogged up when wearing a buff .

They are pretty good to drive in as well

Time will tell

Just thought I would pipe in here. I got a set of Gill sunnies as a prize when I won the winter series 3 years ago (yeah yeah, rag boat stuff) and they are still going strong today. Best boating sunnies I have ever owned, and I have been through a lot of them over the years. If I ever destroy the pair I have, I will be going back for another set.

Bought first pair of prescription spotters 4 years ago, had to get a slightly stronger script (my knots were getting fuzzy) so stuck with penetrator spotters, my next pair will be spotters. Same pair for driving and fishing.
