Well my current pair are on the way out (literally falling apart) So I'm looking at a pair for driving with (so polarised) and for general sport like cycling etc I'd prefer grey lenses, don't like coloured lenses very much Current pair I like are: http://www.sunglasses-shop.co.uk/uk-sun ... /13626.htmOr http://www.sunglasses-shop.co.uk/uk-sun ... /11098.htmAny other suggestions? (Pref from that site as I have a £50 voucher for any pair from that site that I bought today) _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

I am looking at the Ray ban Aviator glasses, though the polarised are pricey even with £50 off.

http://www.sunglasses-shop.co.uk/uk-sun ... m/5788.htmwould be my preference, but I'm a huge oakley fan.I 've had mine for years with gold iridium lenses and they are the best lenses i have ever had. Greta for low ligh situations and fantastic for driving.

Under £100 ideally pre voucher, don't want to be spending huge amounts on them in case they get nicked, hence the entry level frames

Me neither Even my girlfriend likes the Oakleys  (said I should get them and treat myself for the end of uni.... I think it's a trap as I'm suit shopping tomorrow with her for my graduation/interviews) Turns out from looking on the oakleys site it's not just a polarised lens, it's the iridium polarised lens so they look like they are great for driving, but only in strong light (which is when I would use them....) _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

I would stretch to the oakleys, the lenses are fantastic, all glare gone and colours are more vivid with them on.
You wont be disappointed.

Call me a tight git but then I was in the departure lounge at Gatwick I though I'd buy a new pair, looked in sunglass shop etc but didn’t like what I was seeing and ending up buying a pair in the Next store for about £20. Had all the same UV protection etc etc…. just not the designer name I suppose….

I would agree with you but owning a pair of oakleys the lenses are in a different league.
there is a difference between UVA protection and light transmission etc. also polarisation and iridium coating make them much more capable than standard lenses.

It's a shame that their glasses don't always look so good, but their lenses are so good, I won't buy anything other than Oakley, myself.
