Re: Sunglasses!

I have quite a few pairs of high end glasses and use them extensively in the summer time. The thought of not using them; squinting, fighting glare, UV continually bombarding the eye just isn't an option. I want to see the road and see all of it all the time.
I have a couple of pairs of Serengetis, drivers and an old pair of S7000s I've had repaired 3 times, Maui Jim Titaniums, and a pair of Vuarnets for extra bright days.
The S7000s have the extra glare protection on the top and the bottom and a normal strip through the middle and are so heavy I get a sore neck but they're comfortable like an old sweater and are clear as a bell.
I've always worried about cheap glasses causing the eye to open more allowing more UV in to damage the interior lens, so good glass and UV and polarization are always on my shopping list.
