I myself have Oakleys and Maui Jims. What do you guys wear daily and what do you think works best on the water?

Peppers.. bought them in Florida. Light weight, not overly expensive and warranties against scratched lenses for life!

I had these for just under a year, until the Parker water nymphs ripped them off my head Saturday with all that wind. The pisser is, my eyes are so bad I need a full rim metal frame for the rx lenses. All I can use are these old Oakley frames. We found another pair on eBay and I'll hopefully be able to see by the next trip.

Check out the costas. They were originally designed to be prescription sunglasses. They offer both plastic and glass lenses, and there's a ton of different styles and colors available.

That's exactly what I wear out on the boat. Perfect boating sunglasses I think.

I have 5 different pair of persols. I've worn Persol for over 20 years (before they were all Hollywood popular:rolleyes) Fantastic glasses, well built quality. What really sold me on them is I sat on a pair I had about 18 years ago and bent the crap out of the frames and cracked the glass. My wife had a pair that were scratched to shit. I called and got ahold of someone from the company, they gave me an address, sent them in, they sent them back repaired for free. That equals life-long customer right there.

The ones I have. persol-2244-50558-1.jpg PERSOL_PO_2747_9554N_SUNGLASSES_1.jpg persol-2978-sunglasses-5.jpg Persol-Sunglasses-2747S-24-31fw800fh800.png

The big stores Costco, Walmart, etc won't do wrap around frames and such for larger prescriptions.. I use a local optician for my sunglasses. I buy whatever frames l like ray-ban, Oakley, currently wiley-x and can choose what color light or dark tint, polarized, mirrored, etc. currently have wrap around(for the wind) polarized dark grey and mirrored. Works good on the water or snow.

Polarized Oakleys. usually the biggest lens and frames I can find, besides having a fat head my eye doctor says I have lots of sun damage to my eyes so the better I can cover my eyes the better.

I have several I change out from day to day. I really like my Spy Rocky sunglasses with the happy lens. Quality and you can get them cheap. I get more compliments on them than my Oakleys that cost 3 times the amount. If I'm on the water I run Oakley Hijinx Polarized.

I've had this pair of Revo's for at least 10 years. They fit great and are pretty stout.

Ray Ban Wayfarers, the old style. My eyes are getting bad so I broke down and got progressive lenses. I can actually see now when I'm out in the boat or outside working on stuff. Huge difference.

I have a pair of padded motorcycle glasses for those speeds. My eyes start to water at around 50 MPH with my Revo's. [emoji51]

I had that same frame for the longest time, loved em! Unfortunately, left em sitting on my back bumper as I drove away from a golf course a couple of years ago. Went back and slowly drove the parking lot /road out hoping...checked multiple time with the club house...nada. Was a sad day in my life..:(...

But, found these bad boys and love em even more...:)

Shit I used to get my cheap $15 polarized ones at MC'market after I had all the bitchin high dollar jobbers that I'd destroy in a month. I'm now wearing ten dollar safety wayfarers that are badass other than the fact that they aren't polarized. And they somehow they last forever.

I have worn Persols before, I liked them because of the flexible arm. There were super comfortable untill I started working outdoors, then they were always falling off my face. Wet to Maui Jim's after that, last air were world cups. Those were all prescription lenses as well. Lately I have been wearing Bombers as my last Maui Jim's are in the river........ Bombers are pretty bad ass because the float, and I found a pie that are super comfortable. I can fid them all over town for about $20!! Gomer-bombs are the ones that I like.

Nike Rabid EV0603 frames with prescription Crizal polarized anti glare coated lenses, one pair in sunglass tint and a pair with transition lenses.
I love the style of frame and the lenses are very durable.
