Title: Sunglasses.
Post by: Klean07 on September 16, 2015, 03:42:52 pm: Just wondered how many of you wear sunglasses for wfp. I wear them if sun is blocking my view. I just buy normal 400 uv ones which cost about a fiver but may invest in some more expensive ones so any recommendations would be welcome.

Post by: NWH on September 17, 2015, 07:59:47 pm: Are they prescription oakleys because my prescription is only slight and the lenses on there own are £280 no frame incl

Post by: sunshine windows on September 17, 2015, 08:40:59 pm: Nope, just sunglasses. Trouble is I love them and will be replacing the lenses. There was a time when I'd have laughed at any dickhead paying more the £20 for a pair of glasses :D

Post by: NWH on September 17, 2015, 10:39:58 pm: A couple of opticians have told me in the past that cheap sunglasses or un polarised lenses are almost like not wearing sunglasses.
