I've owned (in order) Smith Bazookas chrome, (i think) Oakley Twenty'*, fire/silver (dissapeared from the car ), Smith Boomerangs red (left in a porsche @ car show), and The new Smith Diablo'*.

The oakley'* were nice, but 120 bux, and no better optics then the smiths. Coudnl't change the lenses either. My new glasses are on closeout @ nashbar.com right now for $50...



These have the best wind coverage of any I have owned, and don't fall off at all.

I found the name of mine at the Oakley site for $160, "half jackets" with polarized iridium lens.

Heh..I have 7 pairs of sunglasses, with a combined retail value of $120. I was discouraged by Oakleys when my friends used to break all the time. Then he would have to ship it to Georgia to get it fixed :? Twice!

Oarkleys suit me just fine. I couldnt imagine $180 dollars on specs and have em dropped, or scratched or stolen.
