What sunglasses do you wear?

A little bit of an easygoing/fun topic for the crowd....

With every nice car, you need a nice pair of sunglasses.


I recently broke my cheap pair after a trip to the beach and decided to get some nicer/better ones. I picked up these Ray-Ban's today and I'm lovin em.



What are other W203 AMG owners wearing?

I've got Eagle Eyes Extremes:



I would LOVE some real Oliver Peoples Victory sunglasses a la Michael Westen, but the ones he wears are discontinued (plus they're $400). I did just order some replicas, so we'll see how those look when they come in.

I used to wear some Prada prescription sunglasses, but now I'm wearing some Giorgio Armani tinted+transitional prescription glasses.

I have Maui Jims, don't remember the model. The company is based here in Peoria and I have a relation that works there. I almost feel guilty about the price she got them for, almost.

I keep a pair of polarized Ray-Ban in the C55, just incase I'm not wearing any sunglasses and it's particularly sunny out. Otherwise, I've got a polarized Maui Jim for running, a few Ray-Bans, and the aviator that Bond wore in QOS from Tom Ford.

I have the black half jackets with the polarized orange lenses as well. I used to only wear them for tactical applications (but oakelies are stereotypical for most operators lol) but now I wear them whenever its sunny out here in WA because I sat on and broke my ray-bans

You had to buy your oakleys? When I was active, we would get oakley glasses, boots, benchmade knives, etc, etc from supply.

well when i was deployed i did get a pair of the FLAK JACKETS for free from our unit so that was cool, but those got blown off my face and i dunno where they are now, im sure somewhere in iraq blown to pieces covered in my blood.

but the GASCANS i bought the first pair which was the gloss black ones, then for christmas the wounded warrior project donated a crap load of stuff and one of the things was the GASCAN flat black
