| |  Summer Eyewear
Sure, you can pretend you are Joel from Risky Business and wear them all year round, or re-live bad 80’s music and wear them at night, but now is the time when normal people break out the shades for everyday use.
So what will SYMers be shielding their eyes with at the beaches this summer? Something sporty and glare resistant? Something mirrored so the little girls can’t tell you are staring? Or is it all about fashion?

| | | Perscription, polarized, and neutral so the colors I see are as close to real as possible (wouldn't want to miss seeing a pithouse floor in the profile of a backhoe trench, would I?) |

| | | In my day, we didn't have sunglasses. We just lifted live boars above our heads to block the sun, and at the end of the day you had roasted meat cooked au naturel.

(of course, in your days they didn't have spears, so they had to kill the boars with their bare fists)... |

| | | I've worn ray-ban aviators for many years... gold framed, polarized grey lenses. After loosing a pair and not being able to find them again with polarized lenses, I switched to tortoise framed wraps with polarized brown lenses.
Plus the new pair is carbon fiber, and weighs about 1/10 as much as the aviators.
I'm guessing fable wears that visor-like clip-on contraption.

I have 2 pairs of Rayban aviators. One Gold, one steel. No point in having anything else. Oh, and I wear them because I look the mutts nuts in them. |

| Very cool. Do you have the sissy ear pieces, or the manly cable that ensure zero slippage while you are hustling over the hot sand after untying the bikini tops of a couple snoozing sun bathers?

| | Ah. Plastic doohickeys for me. They didn't need no sissy wires when strapped to a X-1 rocket back in the '50s.
Plus my head is so fricken big the glasses stay on *no matter what I'm doing*.  | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread |  Linear Mode | |
