Re: The sunglasses thread

Some people could make the white ones look good actually. I mean, what's hideous about them? If you can pull off white shades, those are pretty classic.

The tron ones are awesome in an internet message board kind of way. In real life you would look like a complete dork in those, or pretty much any shades with prism tint or whatever that's called.

Re: The sunglasses thread

A pet peeve of mine is all the logos on shades. I really don't need to advertise what brand I'm wearing and I don't like that they are advertising on my face. That's why I like brands like Persols and the Perreiras.

Re: The sunglasses thread

Yeah I'm not a fan of that either. I have yet to notice it on my MJs but my D&Gs(very light and comfortable) but sometimes I'd notice the logo in the corner. Such crap considering optics should be a priority.

Have you guys noticed strange rainbow stuff on tinted windows with polarized sunglasses? When I look at my tinted windows without my sunglasses it looks fine but when I put them on I see weird purple and green squares all over the windows. Very strange.

They don't have a .jpg for a bigger image of it so you'd have to look at it on their flash thing if you wanna see it bigger:



I have it with Silver frames not Gold. G15 Lenses.

I love these to death . Not a big fan of the tails though (def can't beat Chrome Hearts tails).

I could probably take much better care of my glasses than I do.
My 2 trips (ever. Beat?) sea fishing, one marlin and one tuna, I had grays on and I doubt another lens would have been better. Of course these were hella bright sunny days and I'm not sure what I was looking for in the water anyway. lol

And the micro cloths are standard for me, lol. I am so used to a smallie spraying me with water. I think it's just plain habit to be wiping my glasses regularly most of all. I guess it goes with all my other fishing "habits":

No banana's in the boat
No fish on the 1st cast
Wipe sunglasses clean a ton
Water in livewell during tourny before a fish is caught
etc

Re: The sunglasses thread

I'm hoping to get a pair of Maui Jim sunglasses, haven't decided on what model yet. The way they cut glare is amazing.
