    Right, so it seems like there's some cross pollination between the wrist watch and sun glasses collector community.

    What 'ya got?

    Sorry :D

    Serious now, this is the latest pair that:

    haven't been sat on,
    haven't been left on a ferry,
    didn't fall over the side of the boat,

    haven't got stolen from my car,
    haven't been claimed by one of the kids.

    Yet.............................:cool:

    Maui Jim - a pair of lightweight titanium frames and a pair of plastic frames. The plastic frame pair have larger lenses for better coverage while fishing (lotsa glare out at sea). There's also a pair of Solar Bat amber vision shooting glasses that also work great for low light situations like driving in the fog. I'll add pictures at some point if necessary.

    you surf cast the Atlantic which must be brutal in the early morning?? Gotta catch them stripers when they're running.

    just make sure you don't catch running strippers or you could wind up in jail or even worse, catch a nasty std

    thank you, I'll be here all weekend...

    Hi all,

    Still wearing my Oakley Titanium O-Wires from the 90's the lightest sunglasses I have ever worn or owned and still perfect after all these years pictures to follow once I retrieve them from the car.

    Depends on which way the wind is blowing and how strong it is. We've fished at night during a full moon with only a light breeze in October and it was great. That's when the amber vision came in handy - it seems to almost magnify light by increasing the contrast.

    Yep I can confirm I like sunnies too!

    I am an Oakley and RayBan guy but mainly have Oakleys just because they are bomb proof!

    I used to go through sunglasses quite quickly - I have a pair of Killer Loop glasses that are still around, but somewhat mangled after having an equipment case placed on top of them on a trip to a tournament in Cuba once.

    I have a pair of Oakley Juliets that I bought in 2000, and they are still in very good shape. I actually bought them with some money I was making in a commercial I made with this guy (long story)....you can see them on my head there....payday came in before the credit card bill did...

    I also have a pair of Oakley Half Wires, and a pair of Maui Jims, which is what I wear most of the time these days.

    Cheers, Al
