Sunglasses - Leupold vs Oakley

[Bluffgruff]

I can appreciate a "buy one cry once" price if there's a no questions asked exchange/repair/return policy forever. I guess that's most important.

 

[TOGIE]

sunclouds for me seem to be the right intersection of price, decent polarization, and not being too upset when i get back to the truck without them

i can't imagine spending more on a pair then i already do

 

[Otto Matic]

Costa glass is the correct answer.

Would the "correct answer" not be whatever you want?
Are their better sunglasses that the $2/pair I use?
Probably so, but they fill all my needs and I'm happy with them.

Buy what makes you happy! !

Actually the correct answer would've been either Leupold or Oakley, but that's no fun.

When you ask for the time here, we tell ya how to make a clock...

Leupold does have a great pro discount.

I ordered the Switchbacks today. Couldn't get a pair of Costa's in the configuration I wanted and the Leupold's were in stock. Also get a rebate for a free Gerber Multi-tool

I will update once they arrive

So go out and get yourself some thick black frames, with the glass so dark they won't even know your name. Well the choice is up to you 'cause they come in two classes...

Ahh, they just haven't gotten the memo yet.

My Fiance bought me a very nice pair of Oakleys she was so excited when I opened them up and I like them very much
I could never tell her the 30 $ bass pro polerized block the sun better

 

[WestKyHunt]

Switchbacks came in the mail yesterday (while I was fishing, needed them a day earlier).

We'll see how they hold up over time.

I do wish the lenses were a little darker

I wear oakley's, but then I know a guy...

Maui Jim's have been the best on the water. Oakley's have been the best on the slopes. Haven't tried Leupold's, but I hear they have a 1X mag?

Get on steepandcheap.com and youll find some good deals on sunglasses. They have smith, costa, oakley etc etc (no maui jim though) and some decent prices. I just recovered a pair of smiths i left out in the woods last september. I typically leave behind several pairs each year on accident when im calling. Set them down next to me and forget when i move on.

 

[NR_Hunter]

Maui Jim’s are the best and that’s all I have to say about it.

 

[ThunderNocked]

I had Natives and now I have Oakleys. If I could go back I wouldn't have gotten the Gascans. I also really want to try out the Leupold ones.
But I've gotten back to not ever wearing them except as an emergency - so I'm pretty happy with that.

Costa's with glass are a dream to look through for me..

Sounds like glass has great visual quality, but as a injury-prone individual, it makes me slightly nervous

 

[turbobrick]

Glass Costas, I can't imagine wearing anything else after 12 years.

 

[undercover]

Smiths or Maui Jim’s Lense color depends on activity. All glass

Anyone else try them ? See there is a sale on them ! Might have to try them .
