Posts Tagged ‘sunglasses’

Rudy Project is a sports oriented company who has been creating superior sports sunglasses for over 25 years. The company has experimented with various women specific sunglasses but what they do best and should focus their time on is men’s sunglasses.

With styles like the classic Rydon and Zyon endurance athlete’s are able to protect their eyes from light and debris while looking sporty doing it. One hallmark of Rudy Project sunglasses is their interchangeable lenses and they seem to have perfected this feature in their most recent models. Given the lenses are so easy to interchange the company offers seemingly infinite lens options from standard colored polycarbs, to mirror coatings, photochromic and polarized versions. Flash mirror options range from blue to orange and every color in between. There are lenses that are for low light conditions as well as options for the brightest glare you could experience.

In addition to their interchangeable options Rudy has been building it’s family of shield sunglass options. With styles ranging from the Sportmask(and all of it’s variations) to the Karboneye there are numerous shapes and profiles available. All have numerous adjustable pieces ranging from nose pieces to temples and the color selection is vast here as well.

If you’re an active man looking for awesome sports sunglasses, check out Rudy Project. It may just be the perfect line for you.

I don’t know about anybody else but as I watched the skiing and snowboarding events last night every athlete seemed to be sporting Oakley sunglasses or goggles. I have been looking for a confirmation but it seems at least for the American’s Oakley products were standard issue with their uniform.

And Oakley couldn’t have chosen, or been chosen, to outfit at least part of a better crew of snow sport athletes. With Vonn, White, Wescott, Kearney, Mancuso, Lago, Miller, Wilson and Bahrke all taking medals in snow sports some sporting Oakley goggles it is clear that the optics the goggles offer are definitely up to par for performance athletes!

Salt Vargas Aviator Sunglasses

When one thinks of aviator sunglasses often the vision of the classic tear drop shaped lens in a wire frame comes to mind. Recently several designers have re-sculpted the aviator in to friendly shapes that work for everybody.Rounds, rectangular and circle options exist in addition to the classic tear drop and materials are just as numerous. There are classic wire frames, titanium options, even some funky plastic varieties exist.

The aviator has been around for decades for one simple reason, it’s a great style. It looks good on men and women and offers amaing sun protection. With colorful options and different sizes even kids can wear this classic.

Aviators were originally introduced by Ray Ban for pilots during wartime. over the years the style has evolved and made it’s way in to main stream fashion. Many aviator options are now polarized which ir ironic, because true piltos can’t wear polarized lenses while flying.

Rayban still has their classic, prada has come out with some cool versions but most notable in my mind is the collection of aviators designed and presented by Salt Eyewear. With over 40 aviatoresque options at last count this is a line to be considered. All lenses are polarized so if you actually want these to pilot an aircraft you’ll have to find a different option. However if you are looking for high quality, high fashion, and great polarized optics Salt may just have the perfect aviator for you.

You’re out for a hike. The sun is bright, the air is warm, the trail is dry. Nothing could be better. You’re sporting the perfect pair of sunglasses allowing you to see perfect at a distance then suddenly you realize you want to just double check something on your trail map. UGGHHH, the trail map. That document with teeny, tiny print, so small even a young child with perfect accomodation could barely see it. What’s a guy to do?

You don’t want to mess with RX sunglasses, your vision is perfect except when these rare occassions present themselves. Reading glasses would take up too much room in your pocket or pack so that’s not a solution. What you need is a little pocket size magnifying glass.

Return to the above scene…… The sun is bright, the air is warm and you’re looking oh so handsome in your designer sunglasses as you hike. Suddenly you need to check a little detail on your trail map. Calmly, methodically, you find the perfect resting space, pull out your trail mix, your map and your magnifying glass. As you enjoy a little power boosting snack you’re able to easily view everything you could ever want to on the map. The day is so nice and the kike so perfect you’ve decided to extend the hike another 2 miles, and why not. You’ve got your map, you’ve got your magnifier, it’s safe to do a little exploring.
