I've got a few pairs, nothing too expensive. I usually break or lose them so I try not to spend too much on one pair. lol

But I've got three or four pairs I like to wear, although recently one pair got scratched on some pavement so they're pretty much useless now. lol

[b16EG-HaTcH]

these are my costa's, only difference is mine have a black croakie on them. i used to only wear oakleys but i bought these when i worked at bass pro shop in savannah and i love them.

Spending over 50 Bucks on Shades is totally pathetic.

I can't never justify spending over $50 for a pair of shades... when they all cover the same UV %.

I dont know what other reason ? The look homo ...

Shades is the dumbest fashion to spend money on.

Now with that Said, I really Like certain Ray-Ban's and Oakley, but I will not spend over $50 and thats to much, So I guess I will never own them.

I got cheap $5 to $10 ones that do fine, Matter of fact, I have some new balance that I paid $15 that Are in my taste.

All Personal Opinion, I guess I dont give a fuck how I look .. lirl.

He's not joking dude....

Yea, I've never spent over $15 on a pair. I always liked higher end glasses but its like using money to wipe your ass to me....LOL Just a waste.

To me sunglasses are just as much apart of my wordrobe as my jewelry is.. so I dont mind spending the money knowing they will last.

[Vteckidd]

I bought a pair of $70 Oakleys, after 2 months the plastic stretched and they fall off my face now if i look down. Ill never own another pair again.

My $45 spy optics fit 10000 times better than the oakleys and they never bent or got out of shape

[IMPORTchic]

I just got these a few months ago and LOVE them. The lenses are amazing and polarized FTMFW!!! I would NEVER buy cheap-O glasses again! I was not going for the "look," I just wanted something to see clearly out of and be comfy! :D

Maui Jim PALMS

Retail $209 everywhere
My Price $169 from Solstice ;) (I know how to play the "well Sunglass Hut was going to cut me a better deal" game. lmao)

Cant compare jewelry to shades... Jewelry will last even without proper care..

And not all "Name brands shades will last" dont believe the hype.

But hey everyone has there " fetish " ha.. fetish :D

damn, after reading this, Now im really not getting them... (O) ... lol

[Vteckidd]

yeah pretty much the only Oakleys worth wearing/buying are the metal frame ones and then you are looking at $175+.

Fuck that, sunglasses arent that important to me haha

[81911SC]

I only buy Oakleys caused they saved my eye/sight. I appreciate that. Lol

Werd, me too.. I mean, atleast me

Put $200 shades on, Still ugly
Take off $200 shades off, still ugly

Fuck it..

[FasTech]

I paid like $120 for some Oakleys and someone stole them out of my gym bag. I've never bought another pair since. Been looking at a few here lately though.

[Slow Motion]

I saw some fossil aviators for $16 that I am thinkin about getting before DR vacation. I think I might need them. I love being able to see.

My old oakleys lasted for 6 years.. I stupidly lost them in the ocean in Cancun last summer. My juicys went to Isreal with me and they are still perfect. I dunno I just have had good luck with all my glasses.. and for $90 for my oakleys that lasted me from my sophomore year in college until last year it was totally worth it.

[LostSolVTEC]

My favorite shades were my old Oakley Trenchcoats that lasted me for 8 years (Plastic frames) But I was dumb and on a flight accidentally sat on them and broke them in half. They don't make them anymore so i pitched them not realizing they have a replacement division at oakley :( Now I just have a pair of X-metal romeos that I rarely wear.

.

I wish i didn't have to spend $50 on them but i need prescription lenses fitted so that always blows the price to ridiculous levels. :(

[VooDooXII]

My best pair is a $40 Fossil set. Polarized, they look good...they work for me.
http://pics.buddypic.com/files/l/129425.jpg

My other set is some aviators from India that I got for what equals $1.97. Those work just fine too...best fitting shades I've ever found. Everything else seems too wide.

The Oakley Nanowires look awesome, but I'm not about to drop over $200 on a bit of plastic and metal wire. I'll live without.

I own a pair of Oakley Half Jackets that look exactly like the pic attached. They are the most comfortable fitting glasses I have ever owned and the optics on them are fantastic. I like them so much that after I lost my first pair in a wakeboarding incident (no, I wasn't wearing them wakeboarding) I bought a new pair to replace them immediately. Have had the current pair for a couple years now and they still look and feel great. :goodjob:

Insurance? I used to wear glasses until i had surgery.. But insurance used to cover most of it..

only cause i sold them to you for the low

[green91]

Sunglasses do make a difference on the water, glass polarized lenses really help ALOT. Ive tried on several pairs of Costa Del Mars and love them, i will probably have a set of them or Oakleys next.

[The Creeper]

I like some expensive sunglasses that are tasteful. I do really hate this new trend of all these homo guys wearing white sunglasses though.

D.R as in Dom Rep ?

[ItsBlack]

I got a pair of these I usually wear when im driving. Electric Detroits, worth $80 ... I got em free from a skate contest :)

http://www.zappos.com/images/748/7480607/3279-775038-p.jpg

and then I got a few pair of Volcom ones I got for cheap in other colors. I can't see myself paying over 15 bucks for a pair of sunglasses. I feel cool whether they were $10 or $80 lol

[AnthonyF]

I only wear oakleys.

Right now rocking Oakley Nanowire 3.0, also HAD Oakley Dictate 2.0 eye wear glasses but cant find them. :(

-Ant.

[Truegiant]

being in the military i have an account to get 50% off all oakley sunglasses. You have to have an account with the company. I have a set of costa del mar wheelhouses. Picked them up on trade. They were new in box and i traded something i didnt pay for. I never liked the look of the aviator style lenses but they help out a crap load esp on water.

[Deke]

I've been rocking the same pair of Ray Ban Predators for 4-5 years. They were something like $125-150 a the time, but the fact that they held up throughout 4 years of college makes them well worth it IMO.

I'm not sure if these are the ones exactly, but pretty close at least:

[sam.car]

I have some Costa Del Mar sunglasses that I've had for the past two years that have been great. They stand up to a lot of abuse. They've been sat on, dropped, crushed, and still look and wear great.

$140 two years ago.

Like tooo many people... I love me some Oakley Gascans..... All but in white.

Ive had about 5 sets over the past 4 years... (not cause they wear out.. I just like buying new ones) They fit my face perfectly and never wear out, dropped and stepped on them... they snap right back together.

My current set (my favorite) is the limited Troy Lee Designs :goodjob: 180.00 brand new.

To me, the perfect shades
