What do you wear? I have a cheap pair I got after losing a nice pair that I had for two years. I think it's time to get a nice pair again. Thinking Oakley.

I wore Rayban pilot type sunglasses for a long time. One pair would typically last me 5-6 years before the frame would finally crack. Funds have been tight though so for the past couple years I've bought $9 sunglass at Walmart.

Oakley A-Frames. Lost a pair of Nike glasses not long before the wife ran over her pair. That was an expensive shopping trip.

Learned from experience to buy the cheapest ones I like. Tend to go through a lot of pairs and the more expensive ones do not last much longer. I also tend to have a lot of them laying around the car, office, house, etc. Can't afford to be without a good pair in this part of the country.

Prescription Rayban's
Question about those Smokem, as I may need prescription.

How does that work, do they place the glasses lens under the Rayban's? Do they replace the raybans with their len's?

Another Los Lonely Boys fan eh? Cool!

I have prescription glasses so I either get the clip-ons from WalMart or the factory shades if they're made for my frame. The factory glass ones are better but they're expensive.

I have a nice pair of polarized RayBan's, brown frame and brown lenses, don't see listed anymore. Great for driving. I will not go cheap on sunglasses anymore, eyes are hard to replace. My last pair were RayBay Wayfarer's just like Tom Cruise wore in Ricky Business, those are my backup pair. Had for over 10 years I would guess.

You send RayBan your prescription, they grind the lenses accordingly. :thumbsup:
