What have you tried that are perfect for golf? And still good for everyday use
Any brands/models better than most?
Not looking to spend hundreds on them either as I will eventually end up destroying them by either sitting on them or repeatedly dropping them
Thanks in advance

I personally don't find that proper Golf glasses pass as every day Sunnies. My Golf glasses (Oakleys) are not polarised. I find polarised glasses distort reading greens and hide colour changes.

Having said that, it is hard to go past Tifosi's for value, and they make Polarised (my daily sunnies) and non polarised golf glasses.

I use Tifosi for golf too. Next time you do a rock bottom order, chuck in a set for peanuts.

Oakley Half Jacket 2.0's with G30 lenses are what I'm wearing, love the G30 lense.

Yep, the G30 lenses are why I buy Oakleys, they are the shizzle!.

Go into the tool section at Bunnings, and find the glasses they have there.......

$12!!

I've tried the Oakleys, Adidas, Tifosi etc etc, and the Bunnings dodgy cheap things are the best I've used.....

Vented G30 lenses are the best I've tried. I have Radar Path Radarlock at the moment which I'm not crazy about - will end up getting Radar Range instead at some point...

I too have Tifosi golf sunnies, Veloce Carbon, great value for money. Mine have the 'golf' green Fototec, (light adjusting), lenses. Find they are great for golf as really seem to sharpen up the detail BUT wouldn't cope with using them daily, bit of a weird effect.

No worries, always stashed in my bag. Going by the long range forecast it should be a nice day weather wise - but who believes them ....................... ?

By the way, are you now 'The man that says yes' ?

Maui Jims - fact they take my prescriptions and have good after market service and warrenty is perfect. Far better than the Oakleys IMO.

Recently purchased the Oakley EVO Pitch Prizm golf lens, got them on the Golfbox sale less the Genesis cup voucher; amusingly cheap considering how much the Oakley store wants to slug you

Probably the most comfortable pair of sunnies I have ever worn and love the fog venting; the golf prism lens is good but I find it a tad pink, your eyes seem to get used to it over time but its certainly noticeable when you first put them on.

Have not tried them in overcast conditions yet. My old prescription Oakley G30's were very good in low light conditions. Thinking I might purchase a replaceable clear lens and wear contacts from now on in overcast conditions.

I really want a pair of Ray Ban Justin's, brown gradient colour. Actually wanted Frogskins but I don't think they suit my face (Frogskins were the first good glasses I owned at uni).

Nothing to do with golf, of course.

I have also heard the Maui Jim golf lens is pretty special - although we are starting to get into the big $$$$

The Prizm lens is fantastic.

Got a pair of Oakley Flak 2.0 and reasonably priced at RA Golf Club. Puppy ate them ( never coming out because the boot was lodged too deep) so got another pair from Golfbox while they had 30% off.

Cheers guys... I am currently rocking a pair of Oakley thinlinks with the prizm golf lens but just seeing if there is anything else I should try.

Smith Optics
Maui Jims
Arnette

All better optics than Oakley. You should try any of them.

Just recently picked up a pair of Maui Jim's on the recommendation of my Optometrist (a 2 marker at Palm Meadows).
So far they are the best sunnies I have ever had.

Yep I'll second that awesome lenses I have two pairs of Oakleys one with the G30 lens I only use for golf and another dark grey polarized pair in the same frames. One day went to play a quick 9 and didn't swap glasses the first few holes I couldn't get my length right on putts changed glasses and all came good so maybe polarized lenses do affect depth perception.

I'll second that, I have Rudy Project Rydon with the Golf 100 green lens. Got them on sale and bought a set of replacement Golf 100 lenses in another sale.

Very comfortable and easy to adjust.
