Glasses other than oakley?

I wore my Glass 580 Green Mirror today:



They make EVERY sunset or sunrise just incredible!


touting the Hobie brand now, someone there knows what they are doing
Nylon lens, great clarity, incredibly lightweight frame, features that Pro level glasses have

This style of nose piece is similar to what Costa put on only their Pro level frames:

something I neglected to mention is that those Hobie are only $54 at CostCo right now:

Those are sweeettt!!!! Love that tortoise < Green fade!!!!

When I was buying them I was hoping it wasn't just a solid/surface finish (the green part).....it turned OK, it's actually transparent.
Delighted with them.....just a tiny bit small for me.
I might pop the lenses out and take a hairdryer to them....to open them a tiny bit.

Really enjoying these....it's a brighter morning here in Co.Kildare than it has been.....and the boost these give to the reds is absolutely fantastic.

Anyhoooo.....another little shoot.

They are definitely Polarised.

Did you ever order the Smith Optics?

Oddly enough, I like Suncloud glasses (part of Smith Optics). I have 1 pair with the Green Mirror lens & about to have two more: a Rival model with the Sienna lens (bronze mirror) & a translucent green pair of Zephyr

Also still enjoying the Smith Optics Parallel 2 with the Ignitor lens. They are great for cloudy day driving, but my Ignitor lens is not polarized.

A nice thing about Parallel versions is the ease of switching the lens.
There are about four versions out there.
Parallel 1
Parallel Max
Parallel 2
Parallel Max 2


One thing about Suncloud, similar to Costa, ALL are polarized:

Smith seems popular for ski goggles, our local dealer is in a ski resort & the local Knockaround dealer is in a country club, selling to golfers, & their stock is almost exclusively non-polarized.
