Glasses other than oakley?

Forgive me if this is blasphemous and I understand if this gets closed, but I was wondering if anyone has any glasses other than the famous O. Personally I have Perry Ellis prescription glasses for night driving and a pair of Under armour sunglasses I use as sunglasses for camping.
I love my Costa’s too

I love these two a lot, a lot better than the neutral Blue Hawaii:

These^ are Maui Rose Ho'okipa, from a dealer, just over $90 & in like-new condition.

This is the highest Saturation I have ever seen in a M.J. lens, including the High-Contrast Bronze in my World Cup.

compared side by side with Prizm-Polarized Deep-Water:

That^ D.W. lens is in terrible condition, but is still the Rosy standard for Oakley Prizm Polarized.

then the Maui Sunrise arrived, just before dusk:

also great Saturation & compared between Sunrise & Rose:

I was reading that some have found wild inconsistencies with the Saturation of M.J. lens, so I looked until I found The Darkest looking Rose I could find & bought that.
 
My latest blue Iridium lens......

The "frame" should be getting delivered today or tomorrow

I might give Maui Rose another chance.
Just have to decide on a frame.....they have so many fantastic looking pieces.
 
I do kind of wonder if the dealer picked through their Maui Rose & also picked the most saturated as their Demo pair.
The M.J. boxes are not sealed.

I ordered another pair of Ho'okipa, $50.
The seller just listed them without much description. The lens described as Brown, LMAO!.

Either the lens are filthy or they are damaged, it will be a crapshoot.

If damaged, I will get a SunGlass Fix Diamond Burnt-Umber.
perhaps even the Gradient lens, for driving

I did a lot of research, after being disappointed with the MauiBrilliant & the idea is that Brilliant is the better material for Clarity, but for whatever reason is less Saturation than MauiPure.
 
Criminy!

The Sunrise view is just about identical to the view from Blue-Hawaii, in real sun.
We had one of our first bright, sunshiney days today & the Saturation I saw in low light yesterday was washed completely out to Neutral with a hint of Bronze.

Ironic eh, that my Maui Sunrise was delivered at Dusk?!
Now I kind of wish I'd paid the extra $40 to try Maui Green or Maui HT in the Ultra configuration.

Anyone with experience of HT (high-transmission), is it a good candidate for cloudy day drivers?

The HT is a great lens for driving on gloomy days.......but if you want "pop" or "pizazz" from them....you will be disappointed.

I consider them "functional" to wear.....rather than a joy to wear (which is what I want from Sunnies)
