Looking at their site info they only registered on 17th April, registered under SHANGHAI YOVOLE NETWORKS...
Same guy also runs http://sunglass-us.com/ which has loads of bad reviews for selling fakes as well as, although having a registered address in the US actually has its servers based in China...


I'd stick with the old motto 'things too good to be true, usually are'....

Who cares? Does it really matter much, provided they do the job ?.
What's the difference, once you get them on your face ?
Or is the average wearer likely to be so vain that they MUST HAVE the genuine article ?

I buy my jeans, for example, at a local market at a good cheap price. Provided I remember to keep them in good order, I cannot imagine my friends berating me ("Ooh look, he's wearing fakes. . .").

Sunglasses - would you really want to wear a pair a shades that doesn't filter out the bad stuff?

Jock Daniels booze, OOOG boots and Leveye 501 jeans is 1 thing but I'd rather not wear a pair of Raybuns...

Glasses are different, you need to protect the eyes. Good quality counts.

I would rather pay an extra £100 for a decent set of Oakleys

Are you mental? If you've ever bought a pair of 'Ockleys' from one of those vendors near the beach for a tenner in Tenerife et al and wondered why you feel queezy you wouldn't be saying 'who cares'

As has been said...don't mess around with sunglasses especially if you're deploying and going to be wearing them for a length of time...anything less tha £50 is probably sh1te.

Cheers - I thought it was strange that the ads has just suddenly appeared.

See the other comments ref dodgy lenses - hence why I asked the question.

Two places that I know are spot on are Fashion Eyewear and the other is eyewear outlet.

The first one also does cheap oakley spectacles, Ive bought two pairs from there and the cost of both was cheaper than my last pair of Oakleys.

They do also have two shops, I picked my last pair up from their shop.

The other eyewear outlet, I've not used but WGAF has bought shades from them in the past.

Had my £200 Oakleys for a couple of years now....fantastic although last week noticed a slight blurring on the left hand lense....so just ordered replacement lenses at £95....more than most would pay but I think they are worth it.

Crack on.............DT_Xtremez_09:

It didn't take too long to find this site. Less than $1.86 or £1.20 a pair, and these are considered 'high-end'!!!

I think I understand it better now thanks guys.

As I wear prescription lenses most of the time, I had not thought about it, and I've been a fan of Polaroid for the last couple of decades. I find polarised lenses the only thing that helps me to see unless I'm wearing my prescription glasses.

But I'm still not convinced that £100 is the guarantee of the quality that the price would indicate. I understand that the "UV" rating is important in the Arctic or the Snows of the Alps, and suitable lenses for those 'extremes' may be important or even vital.
I get the impression that 'style' and 'label' is more important with all too often. It might be "Oakley" now, but at one time it was all "Polaroid".

Seen the sun in theatre or the states?

 

[Oberon305]

Isn't there a government/military site for buying Oakleys at a decent price? Don't know it myself, but i've seen it advertised around.

 

[MrMasher]

I buy Bloc's from Millets.
£30-40 means I don't care when they get scratched, dropped or sat on.

The vision is good too.

I'd love some Oakleys but I refuse to pay that much money for them!!

 

[gemarriott]

Drifting slightly off topic, which prescription sunglasses do you guys reccomend. For years when visiting the optician I haver relied on the free pair but the last couple of years the tints are much darker and even in bright sunshine everything is dim.

 

[Typhoon-Techie]

I find nothing wrong with the issued ESS sunglasses for use out in the sun, however they are not exactly the most pretty looking things.

If im on Op's, then its going to be military as i dont want to wreck a £150 pair of glassess.

I personally thought that the ESS glasses were top notch.

 

[Sniffer]

Might be worth noting that if there is any injury to the eyes whilst on Ops that the wearing of the ESS glasses could have prevented, and it is discovered that you were wearing joakleys or nothing then Pax insurance will not pay out.

Pop over to florida and enjoy the £ to $ prices for oakleys, did it last year and already saving for this years holiday, must remember to only take half a suitcase this time.

You only get one set of eyes, only ever bought ray bans or oakleys rarely paid UK prices.

Unfortunately the air fare may outweigh the savings for some decent sunglasses. DT_Xtremez_26:
