[NSC] How much do you spend on SUNGLASSES ?

[Han Solo]

I've never managed to wear a pair of sunglasses more than maybe twice or thrice until I get drunk in some park and lose them there. No idea how others do it. But it does mean I make a decision every year to spend £0 on sunglasses.

Having lost TWO pair's of Oakley Crosshair 2.0 (one with V Expensive Prescription lenses in..) in the preceding 12m, i bought a pair of Prizm lens Oakley Ejectors in Schipol for Eu140 on way to Marseilles away game.. I've got pictures of them on me, and i'm pretty sure i made the whole game with them, but they never made it back to UK.. It's an accepted risk when you go on a 24hr BHA jolly to South of France..

The whole point of wearing shades is to impress the chicks and pretend you are in Top Gun

Having expensive sunglasses and losing them seem to go hand in hand with some of you this thread…..I have never lost my £7.99 Screwfix safety sunglasses

I have the Dewalt ones I think they came free with something

And his point is?

Well seeing as I am about to up sticks and move to the Middle East I forsee many more pairs in my future but for now I own two pairs of Oakley's - some clear frame rainbow tinted look at me proper mincers and a rather more modest tortoise shell frames with black lenses.

Used to mountain bike a lot and was sold on the bullet proof lens sales pitch and whilst i've had imitations in the past i always gravitate back to them like the brand WHORE I am.

Post march when im in wall to wall sunshine 12 months a year and travelling through duty free more I expect my collection to become engorged and will report back.

I had a pair of Rayban Aviators that I bought in Changi Airrport, Singapore in 2001. I had them repaired for free when one of the side pieces broke after 6 years. I finally bought a new pair of Rayban Aviators 2 years ago for €120 when the chip in the RH lens became too annoying. I wear them nearly every time i go outside, including bike riding most mornings.

On a different note I installed an Eddy water descaler today supplied by the customer do you know if these actually work?

Out of interest, why are people trying to shoot mountain bikers in the eyes?

Varifocals with transitions lenses are what I wear day to day. Sadly, they don't work when driving and at my last eye exam, the optician told me prescription sunglasses would help slow down the cataract I have forming.

Ended up shelling out over £300 for prescription pair. Wish I could get on with contact lenses so I could:

1. Not need to wear glasses day to day.

2. Wear ordinary sunglasses.

Simple solution

Never heard of it, so the answer would be I don’t know.

Where in the middle east? I'm in Saudi and HAVE to wear sunglasses everyday

It wouldn't surprise me given the rage everyone seems to have with cyclists.

There's a fairly obvious flaw in your plan

If and when you have the cataract removed, they'll try and set the lens for distance viewing so that you don't need glasses.
