    I had the same choice and got some G30 vented Path Radars. They can't be faulted

    M frames with a yellow/persimmon spare lens then you can swap the lens and wear them all year, i do.

    Current list;
    Pro-M Frames with a large number of lenses. VR28 is the most used one.
    M-Frames – See above, same lense

    Old School Square Wires – Black/Black
    XX – RootBeer/Gold
    XX – Black/Black
    Retro StraightJacket – Matte Clear/Black
    Retro StraightJacket – Electric Mustard Metallic/Black

    Want;
    Jawbones – A great fitting pair of sunnies. Really impressed

    Pitboss – Wow. Tried a pair on the other day and, well all I can say is wow.

    I went with custom Radars (only thing extra I want now is the photochromic lens). Personally I just don't get the Jawbone look…

    I fancy a pair of the new Romeo's, but it's a load of cash to splash.

    Agree with not liking the Jawbone look, they're too big IMO.

    Radars are days and nights better than M-Frames, and are the best thing for riding. I've got some Livestrong ones, but I wore them once and then promptly lost them somewhere! Also got some custom white chrome ones, but the finish is terrible on those, get the solid white if you want white ones!

    I've got 2 pairs of Splices for every day, but they're terrible on the bike, the frame gets in the way, particularly if you're looking over your shoulder.

    photochromic radars here – have owned a variety including Half Jacket XLJ's, Monster Dogs, M-Frames, Zeroes etc and the radars are the best I've had for cycling…

    I've got some M-Frames for riding (plus lens options), and had/have A-Wires, Frogskins (Mk1), E-Wires and Juliets.

    M-Frames are brilliant, though If I got some now I'd get Radars, I tried on some Jawbones and as others have said they were too large for me really. I'd really like some Straight Jackets for winter holidays.

    For everyday use the Juliets are brilliant.

    heater lenses, and old sub zero snap on frames. The best sunglasses Oakley never made. Vintage Sub zero frames cost an arm and a leg on ebay these days though.

    Original Frogskins in rootbeer/gold iridium lens and sub zero's.
    Splatter Mumbos and currently using prescription ratchet 4.0's with photochromatic lenses as daily.

    I like Gascans but my face is the wrong shape for them.

    Mrdomino has some original Frogskins and I quite like them – I am just not brave enough to wear them without looking like a bit of an idiot.

    Anyone got a pair of original, MkI Frogskins with metal hinges in Black/Grey they want to sell me? Please?

    I had a pair once. Left them on a blonde and have regretted it ever since. Not the blonde, mind you, no regrets about that.

    i also like the new jawbones, also really like straight jackets and racing jackets.

    I have got some flak jacket XLJ with the polarized lenses. Wish i'd shopped around as i paid over the odds for them, and also wish i bought some which are solid coloured plastic frames, not ones that are painted or whatever as the colour has basically fallen off in lots of places and oakley won't touch them.

    I've got a pair of the glow-in-the-dark Frogskins- no idea who came up with the idea of sunglasses for the dark, but they're quite entertaining.
