The best sunglasses

Strike3UROUT

I've been using Easton Diamond Flares for the past 5-6 years but only when on the bases. I have both a black lens and a light blue lens pair.

They are only $19.95 so I don't worry about breaking them. I spent top dollar on my West Vest Platinum, my hexpad shorts, my plate shoes, my base shoes, my Honig pants and Honig shirts but I see no need to drop $100-150 on Oakley sunglasses.

Just my two cents.

I have 3 pr, all the same. Oakley style lenses, plastic arms, SHATTER PROOF! Not bad for $4 a piece safety glasses.

I would guess the shades are just like getting rid of cotton. once you realize how awesome it is w/o cotton, you'll never go back.

Oakley M-Frame.
I wore them as a player, I wear them as an umpire, and I also wear them as a cyclist. They are expensive, but I'm used to them and they have done me well.

I have no need to drive a Limited Edition Navigator L either. But it's nice to have that choice.

I've got a son that is a freshman in college at a private university so I won't be buying any $120 plus sunglasses that can easily be broken. I'm pretty happy with my '06 Toyota Camry and it's paid off next month. I'm sure Totota would like to see me trade it in for an '09 but I've got other priorities.

I could go buy a big gas guzzling SUV for $40k but it doesn't appeal to me.
Ford/Lincoln is going under because there are not enough guys like you buying big boats. To each his own. Next time buy two. 😀

I like to use the Easton Ultra lite Z-blades.. they are cheaper $25 each so if they break no big deal. Tjey also come in a all black, or Orange.

No one has mentioned Nike Optics? They are the official sunglasses of MLB Umpires. They have the best peripheral vision. (Siege Swift Model) And they are not to expensive. A good gunmetal tint for bright days, yellow for overcast and a clear tint if you ever work under bad lights or in a dome. (Don't blast me on PM, I have done it before)

Nike Vision

Seems like there are more dealers for some of the other brands (doens't make them bad)...when I go to the website, all it does is point me in the direction of dealers rather than offering me a direct purchase option. I'd be willing to try them...but they don't even post a cost on there.

Aided by the large selection from premium quality labels options to select from, you'll definitely consider the less expensive sunlight who fit in your company needs not to mention selections.

Check out the Bolle Vigilantes. I have these in my bag. They are a blade type so they work well under the mask. They also have interchangeable lenses. I love them.

I wear these with a prescription insert. I bought them two years ago and love them. The even work under my helmet behind the plate.

I still wear Oakley Half-Jackets. Keep one pair in each car.

Who cares? I mean, is it better that nothing gets discussed at all?

Oakley is a big name when it comes to good sunglasses makers . I am a big fan of baseball and I am using Oakley men's Radar Ev Shield.
This is an excellent sunglasses from them that not only will shade your eyes nicely when playing baseball but will also help you look good while doing it.
The lens color on these glasses is really cool and they are very solidly built too. They are non-polarized and feature 100% UV ray protection.
