which sunglasses would YOU buy?

[EvilYoda]

I dunno about the "windows to your head" phrase...kinda spooky to me 😉

As for the imposter sunglasses site, I like some of those frames...many thanks. A pair of foakleys and some fake gucci's, and I'll be fake-pimping it 😀

Damn straight. I bought from both of those companies before, and they're reliable, and the glasses are above decent quality. The Neo ones at Imposterwear I had to apply epoxy to the screws, because after 2 weeks of wear they'd come loose from the nuts, but the Impostercity Smith glasses I bought are solid as hell.

$140!!!!!!


ARE YOU SH!TTING ME?

I know. $140 for sunglasses is retarded. It's 5 dollars in plastic and poly. If you spend more than 30 bucks, you're getting reamed, and deserve to be laughed at.

I love going to Lakeside Mall at the end of summer. There's a little kiosk there that sells cheap but damn fine sunglasses at $5 a pair while they're closing them out.

Cheap sunglasses rule.

whatever... my glasses costed nearly 300 (including the prescription lenses). raybans... i like 'em, they are better than any cheap sunglasses i have ever worn. and they aren't plastic.

With that price, i would say it was Polarized polycarbonate with prescription on it

From the Detroit Free Press, April 20, 2003:

5. True or False. You get what you pay for in sunglasses: cheap ones are practically useless as protection.

5. False. Inexpensive sunglasses can come with UV protection as good as expensive ones.

CANT, but usually DONT. i doubt you can find a pair of 30$ glasses that offer the same amount of UV and IR protection as a good quality pair of sunglasses. there's also the lens distortion and they are simply feel cheap. a geo metro and a bmw will get you from place to place just the same, right?

i personally love my Oakleys Square Wire 2.0s. if i decide to sit on my , or run it over with my car, i can return the pieces back to oakley and get a new pair for 20$. and these are 2 years old. enjoy your metro.

guapo337: i personally dislike the jackets from Oakleys. their build quality feel inferior to their other pairs. the five 2.0 are a bit too flashly and i dont know enough about Spy Optics

 

[dolph]

personally, i don't like any of the original ones. i like simple, wire-metal frames. but whatever you do, don't' buy them straight from the internet without trying them on first. they might look really bad on you in real life

The Smith sunglasses from Imposter city are 100% UVA and UVB. All the sunglasses at the kiosk in the mall? 100% of both.

Is there any lens distortion? F*ck no. I'm a graphics designer. Lens distortion is the kind of thing that would drive me absolutely insane.

Also, I take meticulous care of all my possessions, so losing or breaking them isn't an issue.

Some of you people disgust me. If you can AFFORD to spend $150 on a pair of glorified sunglasses, kill yourself. No, seriously. I'm planting seeds. Kill yourself.

How's this for an idea - Buy a $30 pair of imposter glasses, and then donate the $120 to help a starving kid in Africa? They need the money more than some goddamned company that thrives on consumers who are constantly striving to be the coolest one in their school.

why the hell should i kill myself? i'm not seeing the logic. i work my ass off to get enough money to buy myself some nice sunglasses, and i should kill myself? okay, i think you need help.

 

[TallBill]

Seriously... theres a lot worse things to spend 150 bucks on. Me personally, i'll never buy sunglasses. I see no point. Its not like the sun is gonna melt me.

 

[HappyCracker]

oakley is just a name that everyone's obsessed with. played out. all i gotta say is that they made these

 

[Looney]

Some of you people disgust me. If you can AFFORD to spend $150 on a pair of glorified sunglasses, kill yourself. No, seriously. I'm planting seeds. Kill yourself.

Why should you care how i spend my money? I spent $300USD on a pair of sunglasses, and it's one of the best investments i ever made. They fit well, comfortable, and i look damn good in them... and although i don't live for compliments, i've received quite a bit from them.

 

[RyanM]

So there's NOTHING better that you could be spending your money on? That's what I don't get.

I see my brother all the time. Working part time, thinking he's got disposable income because he lives at home. He goes to Windsor, gambles at the casino, plays paintball all the goddamn time, and generally blows through his money faster than I can realistically observe it.

It sickens me. I'm venting now.

Disregard my comments and buy the retarded sunglasses.

No, recklessly spending money that can be spent on better things is a bad thing.

In his example, he has no savings, he's BORRWING a car currently because he can't afford to buy one, and he still hasn't figured out what the hell he wants to do with my life.

He's being irresponsible and a f*cking retard.

I don't know anything about Guapo, but the fact he's looking at these sunglasses suggests several things to me, all of which lead me to conclude he probably shouldn't be spending $150 on a pair of things for his freaking eyes.

the little gold stickers on your sunglasses tell you that, dont they? well my 10$ "Juster" speakers say theyre 180W. im sure you can add 1+1. lens distortion or not, wearing sunglasses when using a computer would probably drive me insane, too. ive been working since i was 15, started my own savings portfolio when i was 18, and am holding 3 CCs with a perfect record, so i can afford to buy sunglasses to be the coolest guy on the road when im driving my car or when im outside doing outdoor activities... so dont take your frustrations out on us like we're your bumnut brother

the frogskin XX's are pretty sweet, that's what I'd go for

buying one pair of sunglasses can hardly be construed as "recklessly spending money". maybe if guapo here was buying a new pair every week...

and that's the dumbest stereotype i have ever heard in my life. some people have more disposable income than you. this is just a fact of life, you shouldn't be so bitter about it.

 

[guapo337]

if get the XXs, it's simply gonna be the base pair with the black frames.. they list oakley for 90. same with the frogskins..

Translation: I am an angry, cheap nerd who likes to tell other people on the Internet how they should spend their money.

guapo: I seriously dislike Oakley's and most 'sport' sunglasses. I think they look silly, and the people who buy them are usually not the type of people who look good in them. Personally, I prefer Ray Bans or Gucci shades, but that's all personal opinion...do what you want. Definitely try them on in a store first to make sure they look good on you and fit comfortably.
