Keep Your Eyes From Straining

Some Good Sunglasses To Check Out!

I've been shopping for some cool shades to wear while boating. Like riding my bike (Harley Davidson "Wide Glide") - It has been my misfortune to get struck in the face and occasionally the eyes with some small particulate matter when not completely protected with a windshield or glasses. After snorkeling and underwater photography, power boating is one of my favorite sports. So Let's take a look at what found. These are all good products - these are also personal opinions!

There was first, the "Oakley Racing Jacket Pro Series" shades - that gave more of a sales pitch than a pair of glasses I'd consider taking out for a full day - they felt claustrophobic despite providing good vision and adequate ventilation. I thought they make one look like an insect, and not cheap either. Deleted from my list as "weird"!

Then I checked out some Tifosi Dolomite model golf sunglasses (they have a bunch of types) which were very cool looking through and I felt easy to look at the party wearing them. Interchangeable lens colors - like shooting glasses and feather light. These would be a pleasure to own - so they're on the list but not until I've tried some various other offerings than the Golf model. Just to be sure. My favorites for round 1 - hands down.
Rudy Project Syluro sunglasses were next, being very much the 2010 styles. Nothing I'd be wearing. These look like a pimp's shades or a Rap star's 250 pound, shaved head, Samoan bodyguards' sun glasses. Certainly not for an older fart like me. As they described them: "....the Syluro appears to be screaming-fast, with not a milligram of unnecessary baggage. At just over an ounce......half as much as some shades here.....beefed-up metal hinge pieces and super-strong ImpactX lenses (with material originally developed for bulletproof military windshields). Oh, I forgot, there's a bonus with the Syluro - extra ventilation! It get's hot in those black suits huh? Perfect for a bodyguard right?

Well, it looks like the Tifosi's today. This will continue a couple of more times and then I'll grab my favorites. In the meantime my trusty - 20 year old Ray-Ban Wayfarers will be on the job as always!
