Got my Oakley bag from Rubensmenswear.com (i think, if not just google) they were quick with the delivery and helpful. They also do sunglasses.

I love my Oakleys. I have some wires, some half jackets, and some cheaper 5 2.0's for cycling and other 'I'll break them' sports.

Really great glasses, tough, look cool, and the quality is really great. Once you drop some extra cash on a nice pair, you'll never look back!

I think such a style looks the nuts, but a hooge pair of sunglasses doesn't suit my face

I have never seen the thrill of Oakleys before, but now that I have upped the amount of sports I doing I think I may indulge...

Can someone reccomend a pair for climbing?

Agreed, just not mirrored

Post a picture of your face so we can see what shape it is and what style will look best.
There might even be someone able to photoshop them on to your face

Half jackets or straight jackets, I prefer the straights as they sit really close to your eyes, you cant get glare from random angles. But as above try them on as if they dont fit they will look funny to say the least.

TheMagicPirate · 6 Mar 2006 at 12:11

Maui Jim 502 Kapalua in gunmetal. Titanium, frameless, polarised, GSOH, GSH.

And that ginger fella wears them in CSI Miami.

(But I had them first).

DJammyRasta · 6 Mar 2006 at 15:55

the sites linked are all good and well... but when they cost $105 in america and yet cost more in the uk in pounds i kinda feel ripped off and end up not buying any

eStu · 6 Mar 2006 at 18:37

Can anyone recommend a shop that caters for the skint who would love Oakleys or Rayban but would have to sell their mother first! Something like around £30?

You'll be lucky to get any Oakleys for that price mate - rubens sister site is prity cheap but not as big of selection

Tobes · 6 Mar 2006 at 20:19

Fake Oakleys for the win!!! lol. If you can afford real ones then buy them.

Glad this thread came up. I'm learning to drive and need some sun glasses because I can't see the road otherwise. Damn sun
