Are yours Designer FQ?

:thumbup:

I guess they could come under that tag. Like I stated earlier, I have had a pair of Revo glasses for many years.

When I purchased them, I did not know who revo were, but subsequently discovered they are a "top" brand. It just happened, I needed some glasses and they were all I could find that fitted and that I liked. They were expensive, but I really needed them at the time, so I got them.

TBH, after reading up on the glasses posted by Trencher, I am going to order a pair of those RayZors and if they are any good, will get a few more to be left in places I am likely to need them, plus take a pair of spares when I go skiing.

Back to your point, I am as guilty as most of wanting to buy "decent" stuff, and often that means we believe a named brand will be what is required without checking to see if you can get a better product for much less without a name on it. I think that is one of the things you start to realise as you get older, and is called experience or wisdom.

I dont think designer glasses are meant to be 'better', it is just that people prefer the look and feel of them.

Hmm, being a bit of a pessimist when it comes to human nature, I wonder just how well a pair of $3 glasses would sell when badged as Oakley, RayBan or any of the many named brands and put on the rack at $150.

Equally, I would be willing to bet if you took the name off of the branded glasses and started selling them at $3, the sales for them would drop right off.

Nice sequence of pics there Andy, and I guess you used the opportunity to work some new wax onto the bases without letting the other half know :twisted:

Hi have had a pair of Revo sunglasses for the last 14 years. I swear by them, the lenses are superb.

I have used them annually for skiing and also for several summers when I was fortunate enough to have access to a yacht and did some coastal cruising.

I would definitely have them very high on my list if I decide to replace them.

:shock: Not really sure I want to post this, but in the spirit of things here we go..

Dance was based on a Native American dance, as they seem to do very well with rain dances, but I needed to try and keep my feet on the floor. Decided on GnR Paradise City, but sadly the damn camera was not charged, so only got 15 seconds of video out of it.
