I looked at the Natives, they have some cool stuff. I also have been looking at Smith, I have a pair of their snow goggles and like them.

+1 on the Smith optics. I have some 4wheeling goggles from them and they are really snug to the face and really comfortable

FYI for you Oakley guys there is a place on eBay that offers high quality replacement lenses and they mimick the manufacturing techniques Oakley uses. They used to be called VL but changed their name.

 

They offer a wider selection of colors and are about 1/4 the price of Oakley replacement lenses

How would you know they still have the same impact resistance and such? I don't wear sunglasses but I've always understood that Oakleys are supposed to have strong, safe lenses. If they're that much cheaper I'd be worried about it being junk from china.

I have a pair I wear to cut grass. I have taken multiple rock hits from my weed wacker and they have been fine. Few scratches here and there.

Realize your mostly paying for name with Oakley(they are better than your avg sunglasses IMO). And its not hard or expensive AT ALL to make 100% UV protect ANSI safety rated lenses. I had a relative that worked for a company that sold to construction companies, and they sold Edge safety sunglasses for $10 RETAIL. He had a guy bring a pair back that was run over by a concrete truck. The frames were toast but the lenses looked like they hadn't been touched. ABC news(? I think, read it years ago) walked down the street in Manhattan and bought knock off sunglasses on every street vender they could find, and then compared them to the name brand, only ONE of the Chinese knockoffs out of dozens of pairs failed their UV claims, I think a few outperformed the name brand $200 ones!

 

Also,

The anti water coating is the same on the eBay ones, I know that for sure.

 

They are called Revant now. Here is an example. I think they changes their name because they had more than one name across different sites, but not 100%. The lenses for my Scalpel and Fives are excellent. A few of their versions have bad reviews for fit so read reviews before you buy.

Nice

[Daryl Z71]

Only downside is all the dented up panels, and the 232,000 miles. No big deal in body work though as my dad can do that.

Hell I might even sell all my gaming stuff, and devote my time to fixing it up if I buy it.
