Its time for a new set of shades - ive been using the same Oakley Jackets for years now and fancy a new pair of shades. The main problem with the Oakleys is that they are a pain to drive with, and quite dangerous at times as whatever particular tint they are they tend to hinder vision in particular light - this is ofcourse what you'd expect from shades but i know there are sunglasses out there which are better to drive with.

So any suggestions? Im willing to spend up to £120 max on a set, which i plan to last a long time. I believe pilots swear by a particular type of shades (my mate has always used them for both flying and driving) but i can't remember what they are called - must check with him.

Any suggestions?

I have a couple of pairs of Oakleys, a pair fo Raybans and a pair of Police ones and the Police are the best for driving for me. The Oakleys are good but I prefer the look of the other ones.

I've a few pairs of Oakleys, always been a fan of them.
For drivig by far the best lense i've had is the Amber Black Iridium Polarized

I could do with a new pair of sunnies for driving my car and while driving trains at work aswell.

Only problem is, they have to meet spec GO/RT3251 or
BS3405 Shade 2.5 (19% to 43% light transmission) with a neutral grey tone



Anyone got any ideas?

Aviators nothing cooler

Ginge !

ive had E-wires for years,, since in was 16 and i prefer them for driving,, i use them all the time in the car these days

i also bend mine round like eye jackets do so they cover all my eyes as my eyes are sensitive to sunlight

how much do these cost mate as i have to wear glasses whilst driving and just have some with tinted lenses?

AGAR-COSWORTH

The ones my mate suggested were Serengetti ones - that have a dark tint on the top havlf of the lense, gradually getting lighter nearer the bottom so that he can read the instrumentation easily - be it on car or aircraft.

Hes now also suggested against polarised lenses due to them taking a bit of time to change their shade - which ofcourse during driving conditions - out of a tunnel and into direct sunlight - hindering your vision for a few seconds.

Anyone got any experience with Serengetti's

I used to have Oakley Jeckets until 2-3years ago.

I now use the Oakley wire frame versions (simple oval shape) and i must say that the quality of the lenses is just great. No distortion no nothing.

Also just the right amount of shading to stop you getting a headache, but not enough that you cant see the dash at all.

Not so good with my SPV phone touch screen phone, or my portable sat nav system - but i think this is an LCD TFT screen issue more than my glasses.

Some sort of apparatus that can hold dark glass in front of your eyes, but will not affect your vision should do it!

Polarised lenses DONT change shade...

I think your pal is reffering to reactolites.

PastyKing

i warn you now its hard to find places that do them!
if you do then expect to pay normal price for a pair then the cost of having the lenses made in ireland,
oakley fives that mine are are £65 ish but prescription ones i have are £340

Tangodeltasierra3

well after looking at the sunglass hut i have no fookin idea which pair too get, too much choice

AGAR-COSWORTH

Could well be to be honest - need to check up properly.
