    Default sunglasses suggestions

    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.

    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' ?

    You want to buy the best - Costa del Mar. But you knew that.

    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 $$$$
