Wearing x-metals daily?

I wear my x metal all the time 8 hrs a day as I drive for a living!!
As above you don't see many people wearing them last time was at the local car wash and we gave a knowing nod!!!

I have 15 pairs of Juliets and 3 pairs of XS. I wear them pretty much anytime I am outside unless it is dark. I have one specific pair of Juliets that have Lingear rubbers and 3rd-party (Fuse) lenses that I use for the beach and any type of sport. I used to use O-Matter frames years ago, but they broke so often that I stick to the metals.
 
Hey guys, new here, and new to x-metals even though I have lusted for them ever since buying my Twentys back in 99.
Been reading a lot, and I see there's a fair amount of collectors here. While I don't see myself becoming a collector, (not because I don't want to, moreso just too many expensive hobbies), I'd love to get my hands on a couple pairs. I'm curious, how many of you folks wear x-metals on the daily? I don't mean in the house checking them out haha. With proper care can a guy enjoy them all the time? I wore my Twentys, Strait Jackets, and now valves anywhere from .5-10 hours a day, and got my eye on a pair of XS. Thanks fellas
No bro, they definitely were not meantto be worn. And your car definitely should stay in the garage at all times.

Well that's why I asked lol. I can't just let stuff sit there, I need to enjoy it. Same as my car, a lot of guys like to keep the miles off for resale, but what fun is that!
 
I wear them every day also. The only time that I won't is when I know that I'll be out in the sun for a long while without a hat and as a result all sunblocked up. Bad for the x metal finish though someone will reply that you should wash them off before you store them- and find my logic flawed.
That having been said, on those rare occasions I'll wear Pit Bosses instead. But as a rule, x metals do. :)
 
I wear one of my Juliet pairs daily. I do switch to Radars or Half Jackets for most sport activities though..
