Sunglasses
« on: July 20, 2009, 01:44:26 pm »
This morning i was on a job i had collected payment and was just packing away when i decided to take my sunglasses off so that they would not get damaged. (Leaving them on the drive)  :-[

Packed the van away. Spoke to the next door neighbour about doing there windows.

Yes you have guessed it. I walked back to the van stepping on the glasses. I think i would have forgotten they where there and drive off if i hadn't have stepped on them.

What glasses do you guys use. I know that you can get some that are flexible or rugged. Are they as good as they make out? Or should i just be a little more careful?

I just use tight fitting ones and bend them in a little if they start getting loose.

Mine are just cheap ones that don't cost much to replace. I'd hate to spend a fortune on a pair to loose them or break them.
Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go

As I need glasses anyway I got some polychromatic ones that lighten and darken with the light.
It's a game of three halves!

I use Oakley K metal juliets, £240.
Bought them 4 years ago and paid £150 on top to have my prescription put in the lenses.
I use them on Holiday, playing cricket, golf, and window cleaning lol.
Oakley have a return policy, if you brake them they will completely repair them for £75.
Reaching parts traditional window cleaners can not reach.

This year so far I've already broken one pair and lost another (I suspect I left them on top of my car), so I'm with the 'cheap as chips' brigade.
