Ye I got some polarised sunglasses a few years back and they have been great. They were advertised as fishing glasses. I’ve found that you can see marks on upstairs windows that you can’t see without them with windows in direct sunlight plus the constant glare of the sun bouncing off the glass is not good for your eyes.

I occasionally use Category 4 sunglasses, they are great when the sunlight is very bright.

For the summer you need ones with thin frames and sides or you end up with a big white line on both sides of your face!I'm gonna buy some online tonight.probably Oakley and polarised

We used to get theses years ago from a ppe supplier for £12 they were brilliant but the firm shut down and haven’t seen them since , might try googling them to see if any other ppe suppliers sell them , we used to get issued them from the fire service for use on the ALP years ago but again haven’t had any for a while

I find the ones that have the lense coatings scratch very easily the ones that don’t have the coating are much better

I look after my sunglasses especially when I pay good money for them.my last ones were coated and last 8+ years until i dropped them and accidentally stood on the frames!they were taken abroad 17 times!I do also have another oakley pair that were cheaper but wider,plastic frames.i love them,they also grip well on my head.expensive yes but they look great and last

Bollè were a British army standard issue at one point in time. I buy them for safety mainly however they are brilliant affordable sunglasses.
If you happen to sit on them when you've stupidly left them on your seat it's not a vast cost to replace them.

Sounds like a personal experience

Of course, 13 stone Vs Polycarbonate = flat pack folding sunglasses

Hopefully it will still be relatively soft I would scrape the worst off then just a bit of washing up liquid scrub and rinse should be fine

If you find them let us know as they are the best ones I've had and have also been great for fishing being polarized
worse case if I need another pair I can buy them off Amazon
