I really like REVO polarized sunglasses. The optics are awsome and they block glare well. The titanium are ultra light weight.

I have a pair of Maui Jims that I've had for ten years. I almost always keep them in the car, or literally on a leash. Glass lenses stay clear, and can be cleaned repeatedly--they don't scratch unless you scratch them. Plastic will show wear over time even if you take great care of them. $400 is tolerable if you keep them for years.

For shooting, find some cheapies that you like. There are good quality cheap glasses. I've had Wiley Xs and they broke- came unglued, etc. With expensive plastic glasses you are paying a lot for what is basically a cheap pair of glasses- but they've done a good job of marketing and have a name.

This in spades.

Glass for driving. Period. I had Oakeys for shooting. They were scratched after the first real range session. I use the cheap stuff now.

Polycarbonate is Polycarbonate. Oakley is actually the worst of the marketers (but certainly not alone). It's still cheap plastic even if you give it pseudo-science names like unobtainum and plutonite.

I just recently bought a pair of Polarized Bolle' sunglasses. Got them at target of all places, they were $100, but they give you 30% off if you have Blue Cross.

Oakleys, Costa del Mar or Rudy's, you wont be disappointed with any of them

No need to be upset, I'll be glad to go to Key West for you, so you won't miss the arrival of your new shades!
Yea.. I'm that good of a friend!

Costa del mar there is no substitute, 89.00 at my store...

which model? I want to buy a pair for my FIL.

I'd have to check they had two cases full of all different ones but sold one whole case worth at the Slidell boat show. I'll let you know.

"Pecador" "Zaire" "Permit" "Switchfoot" "Blackfin" "Cabalito" "Ponce" They may have a few others as well. All with the CR-39 lens. CR-39 is resin lenses, extremely light and comfortable. While I really like Glass lenses I wear sunglasses all day and personally prefer the lighter CR-39 lenses.

Some interesting reading.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CR-39

Revison Vipertail which have an MSRP of $89.99 but can be had for MUCH less.

I also agree with the rave reviews for Serengeti. I have a pair of Serengeti drivers that I bought in 1995 and they still look like new. The only drawback is that the pair I have has glass lenses and are pretty heavy.
