i had a pair of Oakley Frogskins for a couple years that I loved. Unfortunately I think they got lifted out of my car. Don't leave nice things hanging from the mirror of an unlocked car kids.

that's the thing, i think it depends on the size and shape of your face. less for fit-- maybe im just lucky but it's rare i find a pair that doesn't stay on well-- and more just for style and how they look on you

that said, ive always liked the holbrooks


and the frogskins are popular on here, Oakley's take on the classic Wayfarer shape

Knockarounds are pretty cheap and durable. I've had mine since high school and they work fine

I swear by my Rayban Wayfarers. I had a pair for eight years and they disappeared at some point between Michigan and North Dakota on a road trip.

+1 for both these answers. Had frogskins last year. Were great....until I left them on a rock in a national forest. Didn't realize until a mile or so down the trail (we have gone too far).

I have the Smith glasses below and they are dope, but a little tight on the head.

Aviators. Something round, larger, without a lot of "weight" across the bridge of your nose.

I rock Holbrooks and Oakley does make great shades.

I like Smith glasses and goggles. Used to only wear Oakley until I realized Smiths generally fit my face better. Both are great quality.

Big fan of Spy happy lenses. I win a pair in a raffle and loved them so much they pretty much are always with me if I’m outside. Stopped wearing ski goggles most of the time because they are so great even compared to my nice goggle lenses

Oakley Jawbones: Great design, shitty quality.
Native Eyewear: Polarised lens, interchangeable, light and comfortable. Lower quality lens and expensive as shit



These ones

i have the oakley clifden, it's super good, comes with prizm and a banger leash. bit pricy tho and in my opinion a wide fit. the side shields and the nose shield come off so you get nice glasses for the summer as well! also i have older oakley garage rocks which are maybe my favorite ones.

Been using Oakley Holbrooks for like 8 years, on my third pair. They fit my face really well.
