    Pricier stuff FTW! I'm glad I made the switch from cheap-ass sunglasses to glasses that get darker. The cheap-ass stuff made everything look warped, and the shading was never quite right.

    Transitions are awesome.

    That's what the "Modulator" means in the Bolle glasses I got is they adjust their darkness. When I tried them on in the store, my wife could see my eyes through them, when they are put in a brighter area outside, they darken up. Plus, they are polarized, which is sweet. If I had bought a pair of Oakley's with that same setup, it would have set me back a few hundred bucks. Hell, the bland half-jackets with no polarized or transition lens was as much as the Bolle's.

    I have a pair of Minutes as well. They're beat to shit though and I need to replace all the rubber on them.

    I rock aviators as well, mostly for driving/very very sunny day.

    Ray-Ban 3362's.

    I bought these Maui Jim glasses last year and for driving there's nothing better. They have the best polarization out there.

    I just got a nice pair of Guess shades the other day. I use to get the cheap ones cause I'd figure i'd lose them which, then i would. But once i got a pair of semi expensive Armani's I figured out that once you know you payed more then 5 bucks you made sure to not lose those bitches

    you'll also notice that designer glasses do not scratch that easy compared to the knock off ones. They are a lot more durable. my RBs cost 250 or so at sun glasses hut and I dropped them 1 or 2 times and no scratch.

    Some Nike sunglasses that look like these.

    My Dad got them for free at some event he went to, and he always uses the $5 pairs you can buy at any convenience store, so I decided to use them.

    i never liked sunglasses (on me or anyone else)

    i do have transitions though (but I hate how they dont work in the car )

    i make statements followed by thoughts that occur in parentheses (like this one~)

    Ray Ban black Wayfarers all the way!

    I know everyone has a pair (I'm surprised nobody has mentioned them yet) but they are awesome, so I don't care!

    Truth!

    It's so frustrating that when I need them most, they don't work.

    Oh, and that they go dark very quickly but take like 5 minutes to go back to transparent.
