What are your preferred sunglasses when in your tacoma?

Anything with brown polarized lenses under $20. I am too hard on them to spend a lot when they are either going to get scratched, broken or lost.

 

While I’m not generally a designer brand foo foo kind of a guy.
I do have a hard time in bright light (and dark) and I do appreciate quality eye wear.
I found Serengeti (non polarized) the best driving glasses on the market. As stated polarized lenses aren’t good for driving, flying or anything where your looking at an electronic screen.
Costa and Oliver Peoples are great as well.
For boating, fishing etc you can’t beat Costa or Revo’s both are awesome on the water or hiking through bright open mountain ranges.
I also prefer non polarized in the snow but the polarized lens isn’t a huge negative in that environment just a personal preference

 

Maui Jim Something. They don’t come out of the truck.

 

Piranhas from Walmart. I don’t care about style when it comes to sunglasses. 17 bucks and they block out the brightness. I’d rather spend that money on food

 

Retrosuperfuture - Flat Top for the weekends and Ray-Ban Caravans for office days.

i wish i could wear sunglasses. My regular glasses get in the way

 

I had some prescription transition sunglasses made. One of the best driving decisions in years. All things in cab in perfect focus and the furthest distances 15-20 vision.

 

Anything polarized with a blue/grey tint under $30.

 

My go to were Ray Ban New Way Farer classic 55's with polarized lens. Normally I would have said $30 is no chance in hell they are even close. But after I destroyed 2 pairs and lost one in customs coming home from Hong Kong I switched to this generic pair of Polarized glasses from costco that were like $38 Ill never pay for the hype again haha. Ray Bans look a bit nicer, and fit tighter, but the price is what $200?

 

That’s exactly why I stick to the $20-$30 range. I’ve scratched or lost enough sunglasses to not trust myself with anything more expensive.

 

OOOOAKLEYZZZZZ

 

Every winter I score on oakley.
I worknretain and sell oakley as 1 of my brands. For every 8 pairs of glasses or goggles I sell, I get 1 pair free. I can do this up to 3 times per yr. So Last yr got 3 pairs of Oakley shades, this yr 1 goggle and 2 glasses.

 

I’m an old school Oakley dude… OG you might say… I do know that they may have saved my vision one time when I was a motorcycle officer and a rock made it over the windshield and popped me in the glasses. Sent them back with the story and they sent me some new ones. I don’t really look at anything else.. I look dumb in all of them!!

 

Yea, I have taken a rock to the eye, and broken a frame as well. Didn't try to get new ones, was just happy I had a functioning eye still.

My most recent pair make me look odd.


But I have so many pairs of holbrooks and other smaller pairs. These will be good for biking and such.

 

Maui Jim.

 

What kinds of goggles do they have now?

I remember as a teenager finding some no name ones that had the goggle lens but regular sidepieces and the lens wrapped perfectly for my peripheral vision. Never found one as good since though I like my Oil Rigs

 

Ski goggles. Fully foam sealed around the face.

 

I bought a pair of Shady Rays React sunglasses. First pair of Shady Rays that I've tried and I like them a lot. The frames have magnets and you can buy and change the tint that suits your different situations. The lenses are only $16. So if they get scratched up or you just want to try a different color tint, the price is very reasonable. The lenses hold on very tight and I haven't had one pop off on me yet.

 

I was afraid of that, not what I was hoping for unfortunately
