BITD it was Oakley goggles all the way but now that...

1. My doctor wears Oakley spectacles.
2. A girl in my town has a son called Oakley.

... they just don't do it for me like they used to.

So what did / do you favour to keep your peepers clean and clear and where can they be purchased?

Thoughts appreciated.

Dragon are very good, also Smith but for ultra cool googles go for these

magna13 · « **Reply #2 on:** January 12, 2009, 09:02 PM »

glasses nowadays lol

I wear Oakley glasses when not wearing contacts, ski goggles, sun glasses & clear half jackets for MTBing.

They are the best

Sorry, Oakley for me too.... A Frames for snow and Crowbars for mud

There are loads of good goggles these days though, it doesn't have to be Scott, Oakley or Smith like the good old days. That said, they don't all sit well in all helmets anymore, so you'll need to consider that too

Oakley goggles are bestest

Did you know that the forunder of Oakley named the company after his dog called Oakley

Zippy · « **Reply #7 on:** January 12, 2009, 10:30 PM »

you mean there's other eyewear other than Oakley. Your're taking the piss surely?

Dex Dexter · « **Reply #8 on:** January 13, 2009, 06:49 AM »

Good advice.

Oakley undoubtedly still the daddy for innovation and technology.

Those Fox goggles look very nice too.

Funny that Arnette don't seem to feature any more of have they just turned their attentions to snow?

The Fox goggles are made by Oakley anyway......

for bmx:

one normal and one toric focus dailies lenses, tried other disposable lenses but these are the ones for me.
also use when snowboarding or just on sunny days so i can wear shades.

if out doors and sunny then Bloc shades that stay on better than Gascans for riding or gardening etc and the beach as they are much smaller

for everything else:

2 pairs of quiksilver framed specs

Oakley Gascans for "nice shades"

Electric Goggles for snowboarding one brown/mirrored sun lens and a pink one, never take the other with me, just make a choice in the morning and live it. sunny = brown, overcast = pink.

cheap unbranded mask for snorkelling.

and i think that's it. yes, i have a seperate bag for eyewear.

I must say that fancy sunglasses frames like eye jackets etc look a bit odd as spectacles in my opinion.

I don't like goggles, so Oakley Radar and Half-Jackets (glasses) for riding in. I have to wear something when riding otherwise I find the wind dries my contacts out. I'll always buy Oakley (and only Oakley). Oakley also has great warranty and customer service (I've heard of people sending 10 year old products back with no guarantee and getting them repaired or replaced).

I think Oakley sold for a cool $1billion last year or the year before to the same people that own Ray-Ban and lots of other eye related brands, so not independent anymore, but hopefully the products/quality will remain unaffected.

Very cool company Oakley. Their jeans, gloves and backpacks are pukka too.

Oakley Racing Jackets for me... or minutes or eyepatch's if ive forgot to being anything else...

mr.magoo · « **Reply #14 on:** January 13, 2009, 12:45 PM »

wore glasses for 20 years then contacts, don't like the feel of wind/cold air direct on eyes, and extremely light sensitive eyes, so i wear Bloc sunnies for everything out doors

jT Racing · « **Reply #15 on:** January 13, 2009, 12:59 PM »

only ever seen one pair of oakley sunny's i liked. can't say i would ever wear the rest.
This season i will be wearing valentino and possibly armani if i have them repaired. best lenses i've looked through, coated crystal.

sweetbeats · « **Reply #16 on:** January 13, 2009, 02:04 PM »

Mostly wear my D&G big buggers.

Like the old oakley masks but don't race so no point...unless I do armed robberies at the local garage

I got some limited edition Dragon Glasses of the Etnies rep years ago, gave them to a young bmx'r who worked for me during the summer. Nice glasses, dont wear owt now cos sunglasses look shit on nappers

pickle · « **Reply #18 on:** January 13, 2009, 02:45 PM »

ages ago (late 90's) i bought a pair of green Rudy Project glasses, they were the dogs! made even the dullest day seem bright and summer like
