I am a HUGE fan of Maui Jim sunglasses.  I've got three pairs of Maui Jims and a pair of Oakleys, and the quality of optics is night and day between the two.  The optic quality on the Maui Jims is simply fantastic!

Black Rayban's for business and Maui Jim Kahana's for leisure.



I've got a pair of Kahana's as well.  Easily the most comfortable pair of sunglasses I've ever had.  I've got a pair of Kahuna's and Keiki's as well.

I wear a pair of Maui Jim's - one for driving, one for everything else.

Used to wear Ray Ban and Serengeti, but I'm liking these a lot better.

Go to Bass Pro shop in Vaughan Mills. Quality polarized glasses for $30 or less in like a hundred different styles. I tend to lose/break glasses so I can't justify getting the real deal. Used to have a pair of Oakley A-wire's, beautiful glasses but not worth it.

I've got a pair of a sun glasses from the dollar store that do well for vehicle use. If they are crushed by the wife or kids then small size loss. They actually look decent but are uncomfortable and flimsy.

Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

Dude, take better care of your eyes.  You don't have to spend a fortune, but do better than that.  Those dollar shades likely do more harm than good - reducing the intensity of the light, but with no uv protection.  Not to mention poor optics.  You only have the one pair of eyes....

Sermon over.

Still have my Serengeti Veronas!!  But after repeated falls to the cement, I finally have a teeny chip in the lense.  Time for a new set!

I would highly recommend these glasses.  Can sure take a beating!  And the polarized Driver's lense is great.

Polarized Ray Ban sunglasses... not sure what the model is but they are great for driving. Cuts down on the glare. Makes the sky look a deeper blue. Can't complain :)

I've got a pair of Serngetti's, but I haven't worn them in a while.  My preference is Oakley's 'blue iridium' lens.  I've had a couple of different frames as my tastes have changed, but I always get the blue lens.  It's my favorite for bright sunny conditions.
