**** Pictures of things we bought in August 2012 ****

Not bad glasses them, for Oakleys! Most of their stuff is toolbag central.
I could never spend much money on sunglasses, two weeks ago I left mine on the train and on Saturday I left the pair I bought to replace them on the table tennis table at a pub. I just couldn't trust myself with sunglasses worth more than a tenner!
 
Well they cost a bit because they're good sunglasses, mainly the lenses but still...You need to look after your stuff!

inded, i'd resigned myself to getting raybans as most of the oakleys are IMO horribly tacky. I wanted sleek METAL frames. then i stumbled across the Crosshairs, and fell in love....much better than most of the range :)

I got these for £85, which is a bargain... they're £150 online and £190 in store.

Still got the same pair of Ray-Ban I bought to replace my last set of Ray-Ban I lost in 1997 when I left them on the back of a hay baler. Had that previous pair for a long time too. Generally I look after things I have shelled out more money for whereas I would not be so careful with a cheap pair and more likely to then not have a pair when I need them.

Nice price and quite like them. Where from for that price?

Will try to post pics of my purchases later:

Resistance to scratches/shock, smudges, mist proof, easy wipe, polarisation, field of view coverage (oakley are 100% or something crazy like that). There's a whole list of features around the net and spec pages^^ - They're made for extreme sports so you'd expect them to be fully featured though given the prices involved.
 
which frame & lens is that? lead & black Iridium? I'm on the verge of getting some prescription...

They are Crosshair 4060-06, yea Lead with black iridium :)

Ebay, unworn.

Excuse my ignorance, but what makes a 'good' sunglasses lens?

The actual quality of the lens, same as a camera lens....better lens = better image. The polarisation is notably better than on cheap glasses too from having worn them at lunch, reflections actually fully disappear with these :) Really good fit for me too, i can happily wear these when doing anything active and not worry about them falling off, ie theme parks etc.
