Smokin Joe, bought Jawbone's for my bro, feel kinda plasticky/breakable/gimmicky.

Smokin Joe, bought Jawbones for myself (brothers are too tight) and like the interchangeability of the lenses.
They stick on your face at speed and let so little air round the sides that some lenses have ventilation holes in them.

If you are looking for sunglasses that can protect your eyes from lights but it also in fashion, I think you are looking for the Oakley sunglasses. Oakley believes in great protection with the rate quality and in style fashion. Although these are priced high, its quality is the most dependable.

mikhaela20, how's the job at Oakley going?
Smokin Joe, IMHO, there is very little to separate sunnies in the protection area as long as they have UV protection. The rest is down to your own personal taste and depth of pocket.
Regarding the above comment about Oakleys, I've had a mixed history with them. My current pair of squarewires are excellent and seemingly bomb proof, certainly face-plan proof (my nose isn't, but the sunnies are, go figure), but I had a pair of bug eyed jobs a few years ago that the lenses kept falling out of and the arms eventually broke in a face plant. Oh, and most of the line look completely ridiculous away from, and sometimes even on, the slopes.

Dr John, did you send them back to Oakley? I've always had very good customer service from them, even years outside of warranty. For example my wife's 5 year old pair, the arms had scratched the lenses. We sent them back to Oakley who said the frames were faulty and have given her a brand new set for £20 delivered!

Chaps - this is an old thread reactivated by mikhaela20, to pimp her non-Snow related signature line

You know it makes sense.

Anniepen, Ah yes so it is. I'll edit mine accordingly.

Another vote for Adidas. I use the Shields, they're so light, don't even know I've got them on.
Oakley have gone downhill ever since they were bought out by Luxotica. They're just another brand now, rather than their cutting edge design that they used to have.

I snapped my Shields across the bridge by pulling them off my face just a little clumsily. They were probably less than a year old. Am using cheapo DeWalt safety specs at the moment.

Perusing the SnR website I came across Adidas Terrex Pro goggle/sunnies highbred things. Now, I'm as much a gear whore as the next person, and I'm more than willing to pay more for the cool stuff rather than lowest price for basic, but £240 for a pair of what are, basically, stupid looking sunglasses? Jesus wept, they can't be serious? Despite the fact that they have a nose protector (WTF?), how in the name of all that's holy can anyone seriously consider paying that much for those?

For crappy light days, is the right answer.....bit snazzy going with De Walt though - get yourself down Samse......and then spend the hundred odd Euros you save on some lessons so you can ski as cool as you think you look.......

Still love all my Oakleys - currently have four different pairs for different occasions. Use my old Oakley Scars for skiing, but would like to get some Flakjackets. I have had other brands and Oakely always come out best in my view. I do a lot of sailing as well, so sunglasses are very important to protect my eyes.

Ahhh!!!! I see! (Not due to my sunglasses though)
This thread is a year old and was bumped by mikhaela20 who is obviously spamming for Oakley stuff. Maybe should learn English first.

Dr John, your the sharpest tool in the box. You know what I mean when they are important and whatever you use, your eyes are vulnerable to damage and it has to be good quality. I say that as someone that wears my glasses/ or contacts all the time and value my eyes!
