Morning guys (and gals),

Just thought i'd post a recommendation for a decent price sunglasses i've been using for the past week now. Purchased them from Amazon but there are other outlets, the items are as follow.
They are an excellent fit, really good at reducing the glare especially with the top down and don't cost the earth ALA Oakleys.

Bargain at < £25 for polarised lenses.

I won't buy cheap sunglasses,I prefer to go for quality ones with good lenses.I'm on my second pair of Serengeti drivers gradient, they are brilliant for driving as they cut all the glare, but I can still read my instruments etc.Have a drawer full of other cheaper ones, but they always end up getting binned.Money very well spent, but that's just my own opinion. :D
 
Wheelie,

How do they compare to Oakleys? (comfort, UVA/UVB protection, impact resistance, durability, etc.) I usually wear a pair of XX (20s) or polarized Half Jackets. Both are comfortable and stay on well in top-down driving. If you sweat while wearing them or get them wet while on the lake, etc., they grip even better. I'm quite rough on sunglasses, so suitable replacements are always of interest to me.

I've got 2 pairs of Oakleys: 11yr old C-wires with a brown/bronze lens, and newer wire ones (can't recall model) with darker/black polorized lenses. The brown/bronze lens is far better for driving IME: not as dark so more suitable for changing conditions, but still dark enough for direct sunlight. Well, direct sunlight in Scotland at least :oops:

I fancy a pair of Ray-Ban Aviators though, just because they look cool 8)

I find them as comfortable as Oakley and they seem to offer the same UVA/UVB screening, obviously the polarised state isn't as good as oakley by neither is the price to be fair. Personally I feel they work for me as my old oakleys are looking tired and didnt fancy another £150-£350 oakley purchase just yet.

Just my two penneth.

Bloc are decent glasses... I've got some cebe black widow polarised lenses at the mo... Used for skiing driving and by the military so are a very decent spec. Set me back £19.99 from TK Maxx 3 years ago and still going strong. I can get oakleys at duty free prices -20% if anyone us interested in any. They are 100% genuine.
Seen those bloc ones on outdoorGB at the same price... Get em bought!
