What is your favorite pair of Sunglasses?

running, biking, driving, climbing....

The ones I just found. Smith Stance, already scuffed up. I try not to pay for my sunglasses, they are like a karmic gift bestowed upon my talent for scavenging.

The Quiksilver Camaleo sunglasses were the best pair of shades I ever owned. They came with interchangeable polarized lenses but were stylish enough to be worn casually as well. Best part was I got them on a steepandcheap deal for less than $50.

The frame broke after nearly daily usage over the years, and I unfortunately have never been able to find a pair online since!

Like Old Custer, I try to booty sunglasses as often as possible. But I do have one nice pair... Costa del Mar... not sure which model.

Oakley Half-Jacket XLJs are my favorites these days. Polarized lenses are worth every penny, the fit is fantastic, and they don't move around at all even when soaked with sweat or water.

Smith moguls. Polarized, photochromic, glass lenses are very hard to scratch (none on mine yet).

I just love love love those wire frames sunglasses that fit well, have pretty dark lens, and were absolutely free that I found, got from promotions, etc. that I can then use until they are scratched, lost, crushed, tossed.

Not a fan of expensive sunglasses where expensive = more than $10.
ZZ Top had it right.

I bootied a pair of Smith Projekts. I think they're pretty decent. Native makes my favorite lense though

Heh, I still have my Oakley M Frames from when I was an aspiring 14 year-old mountain biker. I'm not sure those things ever looked good on anybody.

Cheap 14.00 drug store clip-ons for my glasses. Hard to find the right fit again to frames if they get lost or broken.

Really did like my dark smoked lens 30 yr. old pair of Julbo prescription glacier glasses too. Too bad my eyes have changed to need trifocals now or I'd still be wearing them.

I've got an older pair of Oakley Fives with a croakie on them. I use them for climbing, running, canyoneering... pretty much anything outdoors where I wouldn't want to have to worry about scratching up a nice pair of sunglasses. Of course, when I first bought them they were the "nice" pair, but after 5 or 6 years they get a little jacked up anyway.

Running/Biking: Julbo Race. Very good air flow, fast transition lens

Climbing: Adidas Terrex pro. Comfortable, with integrated nose-shield for sunny glaciers. The modular nature of these glasses also allow for use of an insert that gives a goggle-like seal to keep out snow and wind. They fog up less than other similar designs.

Driving: Maui Jim. Light, comfortable

I'm really impressed with Bolle glasses. They're pretty high quality and don't cost as much as some.

Spy Dirty Mo or VZ Papa G

Julbo "Run". Super versatile. Good for running, rock/ice climbing, driving, looking cool...you name it.

I get these for $12.00 from a welding supply store. Nemesis polarized

The Revo sunglasses rock IMO. I like the Redpoint model especially.
The optics are the best I have worn and the fit, function and fashion are all very good.
I used to rock the cheap/free option until I read about how they are worse for your eyes than nothing at all. At least with no sunglasses, your pupils let in less light and less damaging rays. Sunglasses allow your pupils to remain bigger in bright sunlight, so cheap ones that don't block those damaging rays are not a good thing. That was the gist of the article.

Not free $70 but also not Oakley $200 expensive.

Work and look good enough for me. And when i loose them or scratch them bushwacking through waste deep snow and brush i am only slightly bummed as apposed to pissed and feel light a good day out just turned bad.

After years of wearing expensive sunglasses, I found Edge Kazbek sunglasses at my local lumber yard. $25 polarized safety glasses. The lenses don't scratch easily, they wrap around my head well, etc. Never going back to Native (although the interchangeable lenses for Native are quite nice for ice climbing)

I have the Julbo Dirt and they fit a little tight on my big noggin.

What would you say the coverage and fit are of the Julbo Run? Medium, Large, etc.

Thanks

There are brands of sunglasses? I just get whatever is cheapest and doesn't look terrible. Way too much trouble to keep track and take care of a $100+ pair of sunglasses. Or a $30+ pair...
