I've got a pair of RP sunglasses too - not poseurish, practical! I got mine for $20 when the first incarnation of Lucy.com went out of business...

Ooh, awesome deal. I guess I just get a little annoyed when some pimp racer bikeboy suddenly respects me more because of the brand of my sunglasses. Appreciation for quality is one thing. But that sort of brand snobbery makes me want to go get some really ugly cheapass sunglasses and then drop him going up an 8% grade.

Yeah, brand snobbery is idiotic. I know a woman who won't speak to you if she thinks you're not dressed properly (matching kit, sox, etc)

The local shop where I buy my contact lenses was having a sales on sunglasses (since the new summerline was coming up). Up till then I was switching to my normal glasses when going out biking and I was bit scared of wearing my contacts also during training (I didn't have them long at that time). So I walked in and they had 2 rp sunglasses, one was the rp kerosene with 'racing red' glasses which is one of those full sunglasses. The shopowner recommended that one because they keep the wind well out of my eyes so my lenses to not dry out or get sand/dust in them. And indeed he was correct, I rode a whole year with them now and I have had no problems what so ever.

I ride with Rudy Project Kerosenes, too. They are awesome for keeping out wind & dirt with a good wrap-around, and they have little vents that you can open or close to let some air in or keep it all out. I have a small face, but the shape seems to work really well so they don't seem to big but give me a lot of protection.

I saw my first pair of Rudy Project glasses in Atlanta and have been in love with them ever since.
Now I just have to find a way to convince my DH that I really NEED a pair!
Any ideas??

I don't know how accurate this information is, but I was told that the guy who started Tifosi was formerly a rep for Rudy Project. He felt they were overpriced for what they were, so he went out on his own.
Anyway, I have two pair of Tifosi glasses and for a fraction of the RP price, they totally rock! Similar styles, great quality...great price.
