I finally ordered my sunglasses!

Whew! This has taken up entirely too much of my time. I promise - no more talk about sunglasses. I went with the Zeal Zinks - pink Thanks for all the help. Who knew there was so much technology in sunglasses.

I'm laughing because I just read Ladyjai's "Buy the Best" post.

I don't want to wear my $100 glasses riding!

This afternoon UPS delivered my package from safetyglasses.com. I ordered four pairs of full wraparounds in different frames/ lenses--dark grey to almost clear. They are UV with virtually unbreakable lenses (safety glasses, duh!)

All FOUR pairs plus shipping cost around $30.00. I am doing an experiment to see how they work as riding glasses. They may be terrible. But at that price so what-- I can use them when I'm cutting tree limbs or using my power tools!

Good for you! I went for the $100 variety. I kept thinking about that post while I was searching for glasses. I was pulled towards the Rudy's, but thought better of it. Apparently I have a narrow head, so I think the Zeal Zinks are about the only thing that will fit me right. We'll see. I thought about the safety glasses option, but I wear them at work (when I venture into my lab - which doesn't happen much these days) and that's quite enough for me. They have much better styles now, though. I was watching Dirty Jobs the other night and some people on the show had some pretty nifty ones on. I think it's a great idea - and like you said - if they suck then you haven't lost much.

fishdr, I appreciate you posting this whole "sunglasses quest" since I'm in a similar position.

No problem! I'm glad someone else can benefit from my compulsive researching. I think "quest" is a perfect term. They arrive Tuesday - I'll let you know what I think!

HA! Dianyla! Great signature line!

fishdr--hope the new shades work out. I ended up being pretty strict with myself last summer. I made a "rule" that I only wore my expensive shades when on the bike. I broke a couple of pair by wearing them around town, throwing them in my purse, etc. That's what the cheap ones are for!
