    U.S Wings/ Randolph Engineering. Aviators with bayonets. I lose them, find them, lose them, find them in the side box or dangling under the trailer. Not a scratch on the lenses.

    I bought a pair of those X ray glasses you see in the back of magazines.They're great for looking into women's cars as they pass.

    My eyes are like my boots and gloves. Cant put a price on them. I wear $140 Gargoyle polorized driving glasses. Not dark at all,. I can wear them in the middle of the night. They dont scratch like plastic Raybans, Oakley, Maui Jims or others I have tried. Glass lenses. Have a yellowish tan hue to them. Pilots wear them as well. I'll have to ask my wife the specific name for them. They look pretty cool and fit perfectly for a guy with a big noggin like I have.
    Boots,.. Red Wings. Gloves,... imported Steel Hands.

    Though to be honest,.. Walmart Brahmas last just as long as Red Wings, but Walmart wont re-sole your boots when they wear out, Free of charge I might add. Not quite as comfortable as these either which are mid length combat style with padded inserts. Cool in summer and warm in winter.

    I could collect sunglasses like Imelda Marcos did shoes, but polarized glass lens Ray Bans are all I wear while driving in normal light. For cloudy days or lower light conditions I use a pair of Serengeti Drivers. Sunglasses & shoes are two things I won't scrimp on.

    I like to think I am not the only smug SOB who chuckles to himself when I see people spinning the $2 sunglass rack at truck stops.
