Sunglasses

Since many of you guys have pics with sunglasses on this must be a fav Sly accessory.  What are your favorites of the moment.  Whether you're going for hip or menacing they're the perfect finish for a Sly bald look.

the reason i buy dirt-cheap sunglasses is that every year i manage to break two or three pairs!! :/O

Had designer type in the past and managed to break them after about a week.  i seem to tread on them a lot, drive over them, sit on them, loose them.. you name it, I dun it! :(

Yup me too.

But I still buy the expensive ones.  I just hate the optics on the cheap ones. 

However the mid priced ones at www.mec.ca or rei.com or the Ryders brand  are pretty good.

I myself wear the Oakley Polarized Whisker brown just for everyday but on duty in uniform I go with the Oakley Polarized Half Jacket
     
Yeah, they are rather expensive, but hell, I had glasses all my life and just recently went to contacts so I indulged and treated myself since I've always wanted a nice pair of shades without needing to worry about prescriptions.

Gotta give it to the Oakleys!  My favorite pair are the "Juliets". 

Mine look just like this picture I stole:   ::)

I've always been a big fan of Oakleys and a pair will usually last me about 3-5 years... I just take very good care of them.
