I have owned over the years severely over-priced Maui Jim's, Ray-Ban's, and everything in-between. I have no idea why I stayed away from Oakley sunglasses other than the fact that some I had tried just didn't look good on my face. well, that's all changed and I don't think I will ever buy another brand again. I simply love these sunglasses. They are beyond comfortable,look great, and most importantly give me clear vision.
