Those Smith Optics are ones I'm considering as well ^^

I picked up a pair of Oakley Jawbones for $100 shipped. My friends have used Oakleys for years for sports with no problems, and I wanted something to protect my eyes. They're super clear. They make all my $15 sunglasses difficult to see out of. That said, if I hadn't gotten that deal, I probably wouldn't have gone with a pair. Especially with extra lens running $60+. I wouldn't mind a pair of clears/yellow and a darker tint as well, but at that point I'm spending more money on lens than the sunglasses themselves.

I'm VERY particular with how my sunglasses fit. So far, the only ones that fit the bill are Tifosi Podium, Dolomite and Oakley Jawbones. Oakley Radars and Flak Jackets fit pretty well, but not as well as the Jawbone (Racing Jacket). I want something else without blocked vision on the bottom which is where the Tifosi Podium come into play.

A teammate at my university got Rudy Projects. I've always been intrigued, but with how picky I am about the fit, I didn't want to blindly drop money on them. Unfortunately, he transferred schools before I had a chance to ask him if I could try them on.
