re: Ribbing sunglasses

whilst at RIB RAID Pwllheli last weekend I shower around our safety sunglasses. Chris ( hugh Jardon ) bought a couple of pairs and below are his comment:-
we also purchased some of the sunglasses and these are just superb, without a shadow of a doubt the best protective sunglasses for ribbing we have seen. wore them all day and eve on the sunday and not the slightest bit of wind in the eye at any speed. This in itself is a huge safety factor. every thing is adjustable so no matter where your nose is, where your ears are or how fat or thin your chops are you can adjust them to get the perfect fit. Also the lens clarity and quality was second to none .


I have attached pictures of the glasses for people to see , if anyone wants any more information please contact me.

The glasses are lightweight 28g and have fully adjustable arms.

They are fully tested safety glasses and sunglasses , 100% uv

They are supplied with a soft protective bag and neck cord.

The lens are easy changeable so you if damage a lens you can buy just a spare lens.
You can also mix and match lens and frame colours.

Do you have different intensity lenses? say for low light or bright sunlight or is it just one lens type?

Are the lenses polarized, i.e. cut down glare from the water surface.

As part of my "discounted helmet deal in pwllheli in exchange for a blast round on my boat for the day" I have agreed to show the glasses on the IOW trip to anyone interested. I have suggested to Colin that if he sends some down then if folks want to buy them there and then they can, as no perfect an opportunity than when out on the water on a trip to test them.

They really need to be seen in the flesh to be appreciated. I have my own ones but you cant have them....I shall be coveting them..

I purchased a helmet for me and debs and one of each of the sunglasses as we could not make our minds up which ones we preferred, so you are welcome to take a look and try them on and see what you think.

I have found you have to dive in damn quick if you're to stand any chance of recovery with Oakleys!

after some extensive water testing in the sink they do not float, but dont sink any quicker than my other plastic glasses

i have some neck ties to go round the back but to be honest they fit so snug i have not been concerned in the slightest that they may fall off me bonce
