Hi,
A year ago I posted on here requesting advice for which pair of Oakley sunglasses to purchase. You guys were very helpful and in the end I purchased a pair of Flak 2.0 XL with golf prizm lenses and a pair of Holbrooks with some sort of blue lense.
A year, and a long summer, on. I am on the look out again. I realise this is a Oakley forum but I am (don't shoot me) open to other brands.
I found the Flak 2.0 XL too small for my face. The arms angled outwards and the size of the lense made me look like I was wearing some Johnny Depp style glasses. I'm not overweight but I am a tall/built guy, so will have a larger face. I also found the golf prizm not to my liking as it let too much light in. I think I need to stick with a dark lense. The Holbrooks were just too small.
So I am on the look out again. My criteria is:
1) To cover a larger portion of my face.
2) For the lense to be dark. In fact, I not fussed about prizm lenses but I feel a dark polarised lense is the way to go.
3) Sporty looking but not over the top. I shall use the glasses for golf, fishing, cricket, and generally walking around.
It doesn't have to be Oakley. It can be another brand but the glasses will need to be the following:
1) Robust.
2) Provide protection from harmful rays and stones/debris.
3) Have good optical clarity.
I've heard of Tifosi and Smith - are these good brands?
Do you guys know of a pair that meet my requirements (Oakley or not) and are good bang-for-buck?
Thanks in advance.
