Replacement for Valves

[Vimto]

Hi All

I have at the moment some recent Valves 4ish years old which I love for the decent wraparound and fit.

Alas the one of the lenses got scratched and are no longer avaliable as spares in my preferred lens type.

While the Valves are still for sale (interestingly with the lenses I want) it looks like they might be end of stock, so I feel I should go with a newer variant so I can get spares down the line.

What is the most recent comparable pair? Ideally I want the black iridium polarized lenses or similar, with a decent wrap and non-reflective frames.

Thanks

You can always buy lots of them now so you have spare parts in the future

@docrusty bought a bunch of Valve and gives away the lenses because he just needs the frame. I think.

I think it's the other way around

Could take a look at Split Shot, Fuel Cell, or Cables. Comparable base curve and all those have replacements avaliable. Dont like them as much as valve tho
