What are the coolest-looking cycling sunglasses?
The ones that Cippo wore a few years ago were cool but I can't remember what brand they were.
Suggestions?

wouldn't that depend on the eye of the beholder? because a friend of mine just spent $160 on a pair I wouldn't wear on my butt.

At my age "cool" is unimportant. I still have 20-20 vision, but at over 4'. To see my Garmin or my watch, I need reading glasses. So for me bifocal (reading +2.5/normal) sunglasses are what is important.
Got a few pair, even amber for cloudy days.
So for me, it's what I see when I look out. That's all that's important.

I like the Oakley Jawbones, but many find them ostentacious and/or ugly.
I just got laser surgery done on my eyes so am now in the market for some new sunnies - my bday next week so I may get some then.

I tried half-jackets first, wasn't satisfied with eye coverage. I obviously ride, but also shoot, and have assortment of lens for different weather conditions or indoor use. Gotta protect those eyes.

Just bought some Tifosi Logics when a team deal came across for these

I think these look awesome and are pretty unique in a world of Oakleys & Giros, especially since they are in the colors of the Mexican flag

M frames still rock. They provide really nice wraparound coverage. If you have to make a "latest gear" fashion statement, get something else. If you want superb functionality, the Ms have not been improved upon.
I got some Revo polarizeds last year. Revo was the first company to apply NASA coatings to sports sunglasses in the 80s, ranked tops by skiers for a long time. Owned by Luxottica today, like Oakley. I really like them.

Oakley Radar (Path) and Flak Jacket.
My Radars are orange with white earsocks and "Ice" lens. I can't think of a better pair of cycling sunglasses.

I will not spend a lot on sunglasses any more. I had a pair of Pro M's that my Dad sat on. There goes 140 clips down the toilet. I had a really nice pair of Gargoyles that got destroyed by a tree branch while trail riding. Now I buy my shades at Target or on EBay. Check out the motorcycle sunglasses. I've using a pair motorcycle wrap arounds that look like racing jackets for 4 years and I spent maybe $10.00.
