micra_wrc Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 i bought grant a pair of Oakleys couple years back and he thinks they are great. He got the ones where the lens curves round to cover the entire eye -cuts out light coming in at the side of the shades.... perfect fordriving.
G.T. Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 oakleys for me too , but id grudge the price some of them go for £140 for mine and been told they better last a few years
the squiggle Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 i bought grant a pair of Oakleys couple years back and he thinks they are great. He got the ones where the lens curves round to cover the entire eye - cuts out light coming in at the side of the shades.... perfect for driving. Yup, 4 years old a still going strong Oakley E-Wires, excellent when the sun is low in the sky and heading south on the M74
gus the bus Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Oakley and POLICE ones for me! Had the POLICE ones for for ages now and they are ggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeaaaaat![Y]
scooby222 Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 got a pair of oakley ewires 10 years ago and theyre still going strong, they only did about 5 styles back then and my choice was based on them being good enough for mr fogarty at the height of his powers [] must almost be collectors items by now!
Guest AlanK Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Oakleys for me 2 - had ewire for a while (and still do) but current pair are Romeo 2 - great eye coverage with no frame around the edge - dont realise how much difference that makes until you go back to full frames..
thewelsho Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 have always had a hankering for oakley's have had a set of these for the last 2-3 years I LOVE sunglasses! Oakley for me too! I have two pairs like those above (Juliets): One pair with silver frames and green lenses the other with darker frames and gold lenses. Also have wires which I don't wear much and Oakley Whys which are the ones that live in the car and wear the most. Gave away my cheapo Ray Ban as they only cost $90 and sold my Pennys and vault on eBay, as I no longer wore them. Been a couple of years since I have bought any new ones... hmmm might have to rectify that soon but at well over £200 a pair I might jsut get Scooby bits instead!
Fab 1 Posted January 10, 2007 Author Posted January 10, 2007 Yup, have to agree the Oakley's are superb, [Y] Although, still the Top Gun ones are never 'dated'. TK Max if your fast do a great stock of Oakley's just when the summer range comes HUGE discounts. Bought Alan a pair of Armani's last year they are superb. Jen

And AlanK too ... Looks like yev got David McCallum syndrome. (Us older fogeys might get the joke .. )
thewelsho Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Although, still the Top Gun ones are never 'dated'. Jen I have a pair of those too, and they look ridiculous!
frank c Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 They look exactly like mine 4Hero...good choice )
GaryD Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 I always bought cheap sunglasses and they only ever lasted a couple of months. Then I got a pair of Ray-Ban's at a discounted price a few years ago and they've been great! Even had them on today, was mighty sunny coming back from Oban at lunchtime!
Fab 1 Posted January 10, 2007 Author Posted January 10, 2007 Although, still the Top Gun ones are never 'dated'. Jen I have a pair of those too, and they look ridiculous! I take it you still have them though []
