Reddit mentions: The best sports & outdoors sunglasses

Trying again without links:

So, I decided that I don't feel like spending more time on this, and I got most of them, so let's roll with it.

Riddle 1

Wine

[Item - Spaetzle Maker] amazon.com/dp/B00004UE89/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2RQMTOPDX95LA&coliid=I3T5XA41NPA20B

So this is kind of a stretch, but hear me out. Over the weekend, I let the "German" in me out, and I cooked a wonderful meal consisting of schnitzel (pork shoulder blade, fried to perfection) and a side of spaetzle (German dumplings). That evening, I also bought a bottle of Roscato (a sweet red wine from Italy) to have with dinner, and it was DELICIOUS. While making the meal and drinking the wine, I mentioned to my wife how great it would be to have a spaetzle maker. She agreed, so it's on the WL.

Riddle 2

A doormat (though based on theme it should really be a broom, but that doesn't make sense in your riddle)

[Item - Subaru Floor Mats] amazon.com/dp/B004HGXWXU/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1462GJGC40KP1&coliid=IAIIHKXJYAGUI

So on Thursday I bought myself a new-to-me 2011 Subaru Legacy. It's pretty cool minus the issues with the key, but besides the $100 I had to spend to "fix" it, it's grand. I noticed when checking out the car that it had gray Jetta floor mats. Note that my car has black leather interior, and is a Subaru, not a VW Jetta. I found these, they have good reviews, so I put them on my WL as something to get for my new car so I can get rid of those awful floor mats.

Riddle 3

A hat

[Item - Sunglasses] amazon.com/dp/B005P195KU/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=P31L4QN6S6PK&coliid=I2DOHRI12MKZ6T&psc=1

There are two things every good baseball/softball/wiffleball player needs. A good hat, and a good pair of sunglasses. I always wear a hat (thanks a lot, male pattern baldness), so I've got plenty of those (need to get a new one, but Amazon doesn't have the one I want). What I don't have is a good pair of sunglasses for playing ball outside. My aviators are scratched, and, well, wearing aviators to play sports doesn't exactly work well. These are sitting on my WL for that day where I finally go "DAMMIT I NEED SUNGLASSES TO GO WITH MY HAT."

Riddle 4

A book

[Item - A+ Cert Study Book] amazon.com/dp/1118324056/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=E9RD1GO4V1KF&coliid=I3I1EOQ0P5X4TS

So this one is REALLY lame compared to my other stories. For this, it's an ACTUAL BOOK (how lame). I work in IT, and one of the most BASIC qualifications for most jobs is CompTIA A+ certification. I know that with a brief refresher I could pass the test pretty easily, but I don't want to take any risks, and would rather study up and blow it out of the water. I need this book in order to help me do that.
___
Riddle 5

This one I'm not sure about, but I can't take any more time to figure it out (thanks a lot, work). A trunk? that seems to make the most sense based on the theme here....

[Item - LEGO VW Camper Van] amazon.com/dp/B0050R0XEG/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2KY51TV5KVQCC&coliid=I1FBGVJXQ9BEYK)

This one is a real stretch. When I went through this the first time, I thought that you were looking for "A car" (boot//trunk//place to store stuff or even hide in), but then when I looked at the theme of everything, I decided that was wrong. I changed my mind and went with a trunk. To combine those two things, here's the LEGO version of a car, which has a trunk, and also has a little suitcase on the top of it, as it is meant for camping and camping activities - a great place to hide away from everything!
___
Bonus

A cape!

[Item - LEGO Movie Batman figure] amazon.com/dp/B002U2UFB0/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2KY51TV5KVQCC&coliid=I2J6HQ9IEA6T9E)

What better way to exemplify the answer of "A cape" to a riddle than with a legit superhero. I actually bought this little batman for a friend of mine, and after putting it together, thought I should have one myself. He has two faces, a cape, the bat helmet, and a batarang. This character is simply awesome in the movie, and looks pretty damn awesome to boot! (Get it? Boot? From the last riddle? ^(I get it ... it's not funny...))

No WL Additions were made for this, I improvised and managed to connect everything to something already on my WL. Thanks for the contest!!!

Helmet: Scorpion EXO-R410 Amazing price to feature value. Snell 2015 rated, easy swap visors, super comfortable, great airflow, etc.


Glasses: Native Eyewear Throttle These are amazing slim profile shades. I've worn Native for years, and their lifetime warranty is excellent. My set came with additional lens colors as well, not sure if they still offer that or not. Hardly feels like I'm wearing anything on my face. Super resilient frame and polarized lens composite material. Had a good size rock hit the lens once and only barely chip the surface. Can be found on sale occasionally throughout the year as well.


AMA.

Not prescription but I use a pair of Tifosi glasses. Similar to this but I had the older version. Work great and have changeable lenses. They come with a dark tint and purple tint. The purple works pretty good for low light conditions, like under tree cover, but I did get a pair of yellow lenses. For the price I am super happy.

Put it through drop tests. Throw a dummy off of a cliff.

I have glass sunglasses. I take them everywhere. I wouldn't think twice taking them snowboarding. My dad skiied with his for years. I have a pair on the tractor for mowing (they do have a safety rating).

Plus even in the brightest blinding snow I can see near perfect in them. The only thing we found to scratch a lens was my wife's engagement ring. They also have a nice hard case too.

Just got a pair of TOREGE glasses off Amazon for $26. Came with 5 swappable lenses. I wanted them for when I have ride home in the dark. The yellow lenses take up minimal room in my bag. I’m only 1 ride in but the polarized lenses worked great. Very comfortable. For, so far, we’ll worth the risk of $26.

Final roll, because I don't want to be a huge jerk.

These sunglasses are 3063, and would be perfect for playing baseball instead of my (now trashed) aviators.

Fun contest either way. Happy gifting!

Edit - Never mind. Your last edit rules these out too :P

Those look good to me, I'm buying a pair as a backup. My regular cheap goto glasses were Forte Brand (available at Performance), and of course, they're out of business now.

Just in case anyone else is contemplating buying these RockBros, I think this the exact same product, but 37% less expensive.

Edit: I ended up getting these, for $20, because the the RockBros were criticized for setting too far away from the face, and I like mine closer. The ones I bought aren't perfect, they're criticized for the frame breaking when changing the lenses, which I do regularly (clear for night, amber for grey days, regular for bright days), so we'll see if I'm any better at that than the other users. I'm willing to take the chance for $20.

I just ordered these. I haven't had a chance to try out the colors, but the polarized ones are great and the lens changing system is easy.

I had a really good experience with some cheapo riding glasses from Amazon. The “Torege” sport sunglasses. Only $22 bucks, with multiple lenses, including polarized, amber, and clear. They’ve been surprisingly durable, too!
If you’re looking to spend more money, a lot of cyclists swear by Tifosi glasses, as a cheaper alternative to Oakley, etc.

Julbo Vermont Classics for my Cat4's. Who doesn't want to look like a 70's hippie mountaineer? The newer-style Julbos are great too for slightly better side coverage - I find there's a slight gap between the leather side panels and the lenses - but the lens material itself is the same.

A pair of Bloc Daytonas for my Cat3's - Selfie included! When it comes to 3's, anything with decent coverage and looks is fine - I spent £20 on mine and I've never had a problem with them.

You should try out Tifosi sunglasses, I bought a pair a while back because I didn't want to pay $100 for Nikes or Okleys.

i have this exact pair and for the price/quality balance is a really good deal. Plus they look awesome.

I've been wanting clears or yellows and have been thinking about snagging these since they're yellow, polarized, and 100% UVA/UVB protecting. They also look like they have a sportier fit than safety glasses would

Do they just mean non-mirror lenses?

You definitely want polarized lenses for watching the water - the polarization is the whole point in that in reduces glare.

I think they just don't want you getting something like this (below), with highly mirror polish finish. I guess they want to be able to tell if your eyes are open and where you are looking? That's the only reason I can imagine.

These sunglasses. They are cheap and work well. Ive had two and both fit great. Light doesn't leak in through the side or top which is the problem I've had with others. If and when i lose my current pair i will probably buy it again.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013OGGCGM/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_5K8MybWVM54BF

I highly recommend these Neff Brodies. I've had them for about a week and Ive gotten multiple compliments on them. They're also quite loud if you're into that kind of clothing

Here is the amazon link. Try a site like Sierra trading post, chain love, uhh backcountry and there is another.. I'll edit it in

E: okay chainlove was a spin and from the same people as steep and cheap, but just use steep and cheap cause the deals are flame flame and flame.

As others said: cheap stuff from Amazon. If you monitor Slickdeals you can get these for under $10 ever so often.
Fit my face well. Have 3 pair in my beach bag and can share a pair when someone forgot theirs: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019MM7XUQ

I have been wearing this pair for years in the oilfield. Cheap and sturdy. They will last your whole mission if you take care of them.

You can get sets on amazon with interchangeable lenses for like 20/25 usd.

just got these once you get past the cheap plastic smell theyre quite good will come back after a few hours of use in the heat on my bike

Native. They're really good for narrow faces. http://www.amazon.com/Native-Eyewear-Throttle-Sunglasses-Maple/dp/B000R2HX1A/ref=sr_1_4?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1397523502&sr=1-4&keywords=native+sunglasses

I'm using these for almost 5 years now (they need to be replaced next season because of scratches):

https://www.amazon.de/dp/B005EG3NZE/ref=twister_B00BBAL4IK?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I've got the clear, shaded and orange type.

Bah, Tifosi. I tried them on for 2 seconds and they felt tight, heavy and cheap. Instead I was recommended, and bought, a pair of these:

http://www.amazon.com/Smith-Optics-Pivlock-V90-75-Sunglass/dp/B003VY80JA/ref=pd_sim_sg_1

Got them, they are really light, have a huge frameless lens so you don't have any vision obstruction, and come with 2 spare lenses and a spare nose piece. Plus they're cheap.

The only thing I noticed is that since I have a significant bridge of my nose, they ride a bit high (as all glasses on me do) but they fog up a tiny bit if I stop moving, because they almost seal on my forehead! But that being said, almost no glasses fit me well, and these feel great, thus far. I haven't worn them for any 30 mile runs (yet) but doubt I'll have any issues. No issues when I've been running at all.

oh, and the V90-Max are supposed to be bigger. I didn't try them on, the store just had 3 pairs of these ones. They are plenty big enough I suspect though.

At first I was sure they were vintage early eighties Vuarnet aviator goggles, but then I noticed Global Vision's glacier goggles. Jublo is also a possibility.
