nice! More seriously though, what sunglasses do you guys use when hiking? I returned a pair of Kaenons and they were the clearest lenses ive ever used. Too bad my head is pewny and almost none of the frames fit me right. :(. I've been looking at Maui Jims cause you can get them custom fitted, anyone use these?
And the sweatiest too!
I use dark tinted safety specs that look like expensive mountain bike specs, but cost £4 and tip the scales at 25g, they also have full UV protective coatings.
I use whatever pair I found last on Steep and Cheap.
I have Smith Threshold Polarized glasses. Love them.
.9 oz for the ounce counters.
I have to wear prescription glasses anyway, so I wear UV-blocking ones that automatically tint. They're small & framelss, about .5 oz.
It's hard finding keepers that are small enough for them, though, so I usually go without any. I get concerned when I go through thick brush.
they have sunglasses at the optometrist that roll up really small and barely weigh a thing. they give them too you when you have to get your eyes dilated, i will try and find a picture somewhere.
