YAS(unglasses)Thread: Help me find my first pair!

[thehstrybean]

So I've had glasses since the second grade, and after 10 years I finally got contacts. Now I need some sunglasses! I've been lookin at Wiley X. I like the look and rugability. I haven't been able to try any on, but I'm lookin for sport ones. I really like any of these. Any suggestions?

Nobody?

my personal advice is this: if you know you lose things easily and are pretty clumsy, dont spend more than $50 bucks. Remember sunglasses are just that sunglasses. a 99 cents pair does the same job as a $130 pair. Now imagine you forgetting them in your car seat and all of a sudden CRUNCH! would you rather sit on a .99 cent pair or $130. I have a pair of oakley's but you bet your bottom dollar they stay in that nice neoprene case the whole time they arent on my head.

I'm not really clumsy and I remember things really well. And of course I would take care of a $70+ pair of sunglasses (off eBay is where the best Wiley X deals are)...

very well said. I wanted to buy oakleys, but because the reasons stated above, i opt for 20 dollar sunglasses.

I had a cheapo pair of $.99 aviators, and they looked like crap. Some people look good in 'em, I don't...

i have a pair of Wiley-X's that I got from an Army PX. They're nice glasses, but I hate sunglasses, so I think they were a waste of money.
