I'm surprised so many people are using Jawbones. Are they really that good? I'm not a fan of the look.

to some $20 bucks is a lot of money. to some it is not. to some $200 bucks is a lot of money. to some it is not. clearly shades are not an investment of any kind. later.

M-Frame with Strike lens
Since I don't see them ever increasing in value, I don't consider them an investment.

right now I'm using whatever I grab off the table after buying a 10 pack of cheap sunglasses for 10 bucks. I want to SPEND, not invest some money in a pair of orange and white jawbones though.

+1 on the Wayfarers with prescription lenses. My big noggin means not a lot of sunglasses will fit, but Wayfarers do.

Oakley M Frame Sweep. Yea, they're old school design, but they're my absolute favorite. Got them for Xmas from my woman. Was wearing a pair of specialized. Fits perfectly. Doesn't put too much pressure on my head and they never budge. Also slides into my helmet nicely.

I use Rudy Project for the nose grips as well. Most other brands allow my lashes to touch the lenses: most annoying! You can adjust the Rudy's just right.

PBK Iron. $12 shipped with 5 sets of lenses.
But it looks like they don't sell them anymore

M-Frames forever.
I know it makes me look like a 90s MLB outfielder, but they work perfectly and are very comfortable. I use the yellow lens for late rides, the VR28 for cloudy days, and the black one for very sunny days. However, I only wear them while wearing a helmet, as like the lycra it just looks silly off the bike.
