Morning all, My existing Oakley's lenses have finally given up the ghost after 10 years of winter snow and summer sand. I'm going to need a new pair for this years trip and I wondered if anyone had any recommendations. The previous pair were half Jackets with a polarized Black Iridium lens. I use Bolle goggles for most of my skiing but on blue sky days ....
Thanks

I'm on my third different Flak Jackets and absolutely love them

Current ones are red with fire Iridium lenses

My current pair of Revo sunglasses are now 20 years old. I love them, use them for skiing, sailing and driving, so they have been used constantly for the past 20 years and as far as I can tell, nothing wrong with them now to make me consider changing them.

They have a sort of blue lens, which is actually yellow when looked through from the wearers side and are fantastic in all light conditions.

FWIW I hate looking through scratched lenses,and like to replace sunglasses often. So this is what I wear. Many of these are made in the same factories as designer sunglasses. These days most are UV400 rated, and designed to take impacts without injury to the wearer.

That's a great shout Trencher - didn't know that Bolle made safety specs but their normal stuff is very good - used to have some before I went to Oakley

Oh and welcome back Trencher - hope all is good your side of the pond
