Sun Frames: who's your favorite?

**The Optical Giant** · 01-23-2015, 09:34 AM

So now that Ray Ban is going to require that I carry their ophthalmic frame if I want to carry their sun's I need some thing good to replace them. Who do you like?

Only truck with Zeal if you want to deal with a bunch of Maui Jim, "We know what's best for your patient, now carry more of our frames" BS.

If you're absolutely against Ray Ban (I know there's a lot of generalized Lux hate around these parts, but I'm still a Ray-Ban guy), take a look at Wiley-X for your sportier patients. I'm also a big supporter of American Optical's classic pilot frames: http://shop.opticsplanet.com/ao-orig...FRQoaQodFxYASQ

Just as good as the expensive-as-crap Randolph Engineer knockoffs but significantly cheaper and with lots of customization options.

Serengeti is top notch. I don`t known if it`s available in the US.

Rēvo. From 15+ years back. Before they were absorbed into the Borg Collective and given the swirly blue wash.

Nothing since has even come close that I've seen lens-wise, though many like to claim they have.

Agreed. Have you (or anyone for that matter) had a chance to see the new non-Lux ones? Are they gonna bring back the good lenses?

I haven't heard of this to date. More info? Would LOVE to look and see if they're planning a return to their roots. My fear is that it just won't happen of course. It seems far easier for these poor companies to continue town the cheap, mass-produced, garbage caliber lens and frame route...

The info is here. http://ir.sequentialbrandsgroup.com/...leaseid=782662

They are scheduled to be released as part of Oakley's XMetal collection on February 15th. Oakley did a limited edition release to their big accounts awhile ago where they went for $1,000 a piece. They will be available to the public for $400 a piece (should you know someone crazy enough to buy them)

If you are looking for something in a comparable price range check out Sho Eyewear Classics mineral glass lenses and CR 39 Polarized, Serengeti are nice as well, at a higher price point.
