What are some good, not too expensive sunglasses for driving? (1 Viewer)

[Todd Calhoun]

I need to get some new sunglasses for when I'm driving around town. I don't feel compelled to spend a fortune, but I'd like something that is a little stylish.

RayBans and Serengetis are great glasses.

Black Flys are reasonable in price for their simple nylon, usually 49.95-59.95 for like the Sonic Fly's below:






I have never found a style that I thought looks good. I know they are supposed to be great glasses but my grandpa wears 'em

You want dirt cheap, Venice Beach boardwalk...all shapes and sizes

I'm a fan of the raybans because the majority of them use B&L glass lenses.

Go to a sunglass hut or similar ripoff place and try some on to figure out what you like, then order them online for half as much

I've been wearing a pair of rayban orbs titanium glasses for something like 5 years now. Think I paid under $100 shipped for them.

I had a $75 pair of Ray*Bans I used to wear. But I left them in my car and got a ride with someone else and forgot them, so I went to the knock-off sunglass provider in the mall and bought 2 pair or generics for $13. And damned if they aren't more comfortable than the name-brand ones they replaced. Had 'em for four years now.

Except for motorcycling. I bought a pair just for that which have specially sealed foam parts to keep the wind from drying-out my contatct lenses. I'm not sure of the manufacture but they sell them at most every motorcycle store for about $20

And a smart man he is

I rec'd them for the same reason Phil G did. They are optical glass ... likewise the Serengetis I have.

I really don't care much about looking cool.

I just AM cool.

I loved my old pair of Serengeti's, unfortunately so did my dog when she was a pup.:frowning: I picked up a pair of Maui Jim's for pretty cheap off of eBay which I also really like a lot. The rose colored lenses of both are fantastic.

I'm pretty much locked into Oakleys anymore.

They fit perfect. The others don't. But buy them online or know a policeman. They have atleast a 50% markup.

Hey, "Flys" aren't junk. My job, I can't wear glass. So I alternate between my Sonics amd Black Fly Safety glasses.
