I'm a Ray-Ban guy but our company give us gift cards to get any pair we want. I have never even tried a pair of these on so I have no idea where to start.

Figured I'd solicit all the O-T Ballers' help since I'm sure most own 30-40 pair easily.

TIA and God Bless the USA.

I honestly don't know. I have silver-framed Ray-Ban aviators and brown Wayfarers that I alternate now.

Do you wear these with your daisy dukes and cowboy boots?

I have a pair of Makaha's that I really like. They feel pretty fragile, but they're very very light, and they come with a 2 year warranty.

I was ray ban then I got a pair of MJ Waterways. MJ is the way to go, sits better on my face and great polarization.

Those were my other choice but the hookipa just fit my face a little better. Look very similar. Great glasses.

I went with a black pair of the Ironwoods I posted. Loved a couple of brown MJ's I saw but I don't need another brown pair. A solid black pair will suit me fine. Excited to get em.

They are heavier with the metal frame but look good. I looked at them and tried them on, just to big for my face. I did like them though. Just go over to one of their stores and try them all on. Sunglass hut has a 90 day no question ask return policy as long as they aren't damaged.

Get the ones with the foldable metal. About $350 retail. Not sure what your gift covers but that's the way to go.

I was about to buy them but then the Ray-Bans were 25% off so I got the same style but their edition

I've owned several pairs of oakleys and ray bans and my Maui Jim makahas are by far my favorite, lost them in Nola and went back and purchased the same exact pair

I own Kahunas



And these Kapaluas



You literally cannot even feel the Kapaluas on your face. The Kahunas are a bit front heavy, but so so fresh. My advice: get both. Wear Kahunas to the office, take the Kapaluas to the beach.
