Glasses other than oakley?

Maui Jim, their boast about Ho'okipa is the low-Mass:

seventeen Grams

Smith Parallel 2, quick-swap lens feature & 18 Grams:

Costa's rimless Ballast is supposed to be only 16 Grams, & I just purchased a similar Costa design called the Gulf Shore:

the much lauded Copper-Silver lens, Woo-Hoo!

this put me in a tangent to checking the mass of all my glasses, & I will record that along with their real-life VLT (estimated) from a UV light test

yeah, I am weird!

& to add more weird:

just got these Maui Jim Sandy Beach in,
they are in terrible condition, but Twenty Bucks ain't bad

restoration project, I guess you could say, but I kind of hate the MauiPure lens that goes in these, so there is a MRY 24K Gold on the way, along with some Orange nose-pads from Walleva

both coming on a slow boat from China

THREE of the four screw point spots have broken/cracked lens
this is the Maui Jim semi-rimless weakest point, quite fragile

If you are buying M.J. in a semi-rimless, try to get the Maui-Brilliant (Urethane), as it is tougher than PolyC & has better Clarity
downside: less Saturation

unfortunately, those Costa above are likely to be even more prone to that particular break, being fully rimless

GoodR day:

I got three or four sets of cheap GoodR at discount stores, not because I love them, but because of the wild tints.
This one is Purple,
another is Orange,
& one is sort of like the Cobalt Rose, only EXTREMELY Rosy with a faint cobalt-blue mirror

Orange base-tint is INCREDIBLY VIVID!, by the way

This morning I took a triad of Rose-Lens glasses out &

I have them aligned here as per their Pop or Vividness

Deep Water, Maui Jim Maui Rose in Maui Pure material, Tajima Rose-Copper

I may never buy another Oakley lens, at least not at the going price, when I can get a Tajima for about the same price, which is Urethane & has better Saturation

I know, it is not exactly a fair comparison, since Rose-Copper is obviously not the same as just Rose, so I will at least try Tajima's Brown/Green-Mirror next before making the final verdict.

The Rose-Copper is actually more similar to Prizm Polarized Tungsten, but without so much color-shift.

Everyday is a school day.

Never heard of Tajima before and although they are expensive..... I'm going to have to try a set of those Copper/Rose for one of my Holbrook frames. Might even buy a new pair of Tortoise frames for them
