Sunglasses

A while back i got suggested to start a thread on Oakleys, but i decided to broaden it and ask you guys and gals what you wear for sunglasses period. Me, of course as most of you know are white Oakley Minutes. What's yours?

I don't see a need for Sunglasses, and it is my opinion that anyone who would spend over 150 bucks for them is a bit crazy. But, maybe I would need them if I actually got out of te house...

I always buy cheap fauxkleys, because I know eventually I'll lose or break them. I can't bring myself to pay over 20 or 30 bucks for a pair of sunglasses.

I think I look horrible in any type of sunglasses, so the only time I wear them is for driving. There are times I'd like to have them in a park (we all know those fantastically bright sunny days), but I figure the less I have to carry around, the better. Oh well!

I wear my oakleys all of the time. I really like them too. They help a lot when I go to parks and when I'm on the beach. If you want to see what they look like, go to the pictures thread and I'm wearing them.

i kinda figured that squinting 85% of the time behind the wheel isn't really fun. i did have a decent pair of sunglasses until they were crushed in my pocket during a ride in roar . but now, i feel i really need them so i've been looking at some oakleys. bit pricey but very very nice. i must ask, are they worth the investment? whatever brand, they will not only shield the sun from my eyes but make it much easier for people to look my direction whoa........it's wood........hyp

I bought a really nice looking pair of Oakley imitations for twenty bucks. They had black lenses and a blue frame. I bought them on the way to Myrtle Beach and, unfortunately, I lost them in the ocean. They were on top of my head and got throw off when I got hit by a monster wave. Actually the wave was about a foot and a half but I fell over and lost them.

Right lnow I have a black pair of sunglasses and I have no idea what they are. They only cost 3 bucks. Hey, they keep the sun ou of my eyes

I think I've got you all beat. My sunglasses cost a whopping........$1.00! They look pretty cool, too, kind of like Bruce Banners except they are all black with no logo or anything on them.

Ive always wanted a apir of Oakley's, but $200 for sunglasses is just crazy. But people say I look good in them, so I would like a pair, fake or not.

I used to wear [URL=http://a1497.g.akamai.net/f/1497/14/1d/www.oakley.com/media/product/minute/blk_blk_irid.jpg]black Minutes[/URL] all the time. Now all I do is work in em'. I decided to get a new pair since so many people have Minutes. Here's my new pair that I bought last week.

Yes the more expensive pairs look alot better but at lease there oakleys. [URL=http://www.oakley.com/ostore/eyewear/fives_2.0/]These[/URL] are only 65 bucks and are decent looking. If 65 bucks is still to expensive, i guess your out of luck, cheapest pair of real Oakleys i could find were thoes, which were 65.

I've had 2 pairs of Arnette Swingers. The 1st pair broke at SFMM & so I got a free pair from warranty & lost those a couple weeks ago when I went to Orlando with my friend.

I would go blind without my sunglasses. I have blue, extremely sensative eyes. My grandma found a pair of hilfiger sunglasses at JCPenny's and gave them to me.
