Ok, so my B'day is coming up in a couple of months, and for once, Wifey doesn't really know what to get me. I've been rockin a cheapish pair of sunnies from Kmart($30), and the rubber lining on the arms has deteriorated and started peeling away from the arms.
Check out the ones below, these are my two favourite pics

I'm wondering what you guys and gals think, both of the style, and the removable gasket around the lenses. Has anyone had experience with this style before, and if so, what was your opinion. Good, bad or indifferent, I'd like to hear it.8)

Damn those are nice! Have you seen Oakley's new lineup? GAGS!! These look much better. I say get both just for the hell of it, change it up a bit.

 

[Zandit]

Hahaha!!! Nice option!! I've been told I have $200 to spend, so that could work!! ;D

I have a couple of other options as well, but the big goal this year is to get the full Givi luggage setup so we can so some serious touring 2-up, so I may save it yet.

Seville. Heck, I might even get myself one of those, instead of getting the Oakley's repaired....

Now thats what I'm talking about!!! Very cool!

Wifey just got a pair of Oakley 5's, and she loves them. She was going to try to get persription lenses in them(She's as blind as a bat!!) but the lenses were too thick. So when she is riding the 250R now, she uses contacts

ooooo let's talk Oakleys! I'm a big fan.

All my pairs are prescription. First pair was a Square Wire 2.0 in silver with blue iridium lenses.

Second pair was a Nano Wire 1.0 with black iridium lenses (frame and lenses came to a whopping $860! Thank good for private health cover).

Currently being made in the US of A is my newest pair of Nano Wire 4.0 in matte black with Black Iridium lenses (I think about $600 all up, $375 out of pocket with my health cover).

I'm sorry to hijack. I ride with contacts most of the time because they are a stronger script than my Nano 1.0s. The new ones will be much more convenient for commuting then contacts.




Just on those two you're looking at there, does the thick-ish legs worry you? It may hamper your peripheral vision somewhat. I always tend towards thin metal frames for this reason. Except my Ray-Bans... Don't get me started on my favourite pair of Rays! ;D

I say aviators are more Zan's style.

IT JUST FITS!! Matadore pfft who needs 'em. These are a real man's eyewear.

What do you choose Zan? This:

Tough choice but I assume you'll make the right decision.

I have a pair or Oakley Half-wire 2.0's for everyday use, but the thin arms don't go into my helmet without bending the arms. When they start bending they poke stright inot the side of my head.
The cheaper sunnies I am using now have the wider arms and they side straight in very easily, thats why I am sticking to something like this.

Also I have heard some good things about the gasket around the lenses as they help to reduce fogging and wind getting around the edges and making your eyes water when I have the visor up.

 

[Zandit]

Virt this is for you!!

 

[virtualmatrix258]

Take a look at his glasses! COOOOOL!

 

[Delta107]

And Zan you don't!

I wanted the Oakley Half Jackets for EMT school (Clear) lens so I wouldn't have to wear my contact. But I'm to blind for them to put the Rx in. So I have to wear contacts.

But I really like the Half Jackets with a White frame and Blue indium lenses. If I had the money.............. which I don't!! lol

I used to wear a pair of sunglasses when I rode during the day but since I bought my Shoei helmet with an iridium visor I don't need to anymore. I can see perfectly at night and it cuts out the glare during the day. I prefer that to wearing sunglasses under the helmet, the less you have obstructing your view (however small) the better.

Having said that, I like the Toledos

Those look sharp Zan, I use sunnies and my gold visor... sometimes thats not even enough!

If in doubt, I reckon you'd look pretty neat in these...

I don't think the visor would operate with those on!!!
