I used to have a pair of Factory Pilots. Right now they are probably sitting in 3 feet of muck at the bottom of Ninigret Pond in Rhode Island. I had a new pair of Oakley Frogs, so the FP's started doing duty as my windsurfing glasses. The first time "over the handlebars" they got washed from my face and I wasn't annoyed at all, in fact was kindof glad to be rid of them. They sink in salt water, BTW.
I want my Frogskin's back. They were so cool with the violet mirror finish!

I know the frogskins were re-released as well. If you check out the 'bay I'm sure you'll find a pair to replace your old ones. But I think you will have to brush up on your 80's surfer lingo to rock them right.

Yup, still have a pair of Blades and Factory Pilots in the closet. Those Blades have what was called trigger earstems. You could buy the earstems separately, in varied colors. Some folks would mix and match frame and earstems, so you could have yellow trigger left earstem, white frame, black straight right earstem, etc. The hinge flaps on the earstems tended to break off, and if you changed lenses enough, they would wear the mounting dimples down and not stay securely in the frame. Clones were sold for a pittance.

A friend of mine races wearing a pair like those on the right in the OP.
I still have my Frogskins from ~93, translucent frame with Iridium lenses.

Dang! I may have to go through all of my crap to see if I still have mine!
I think the right ones were also called the eyeshades. Not positive. Looong time ago
.
Had two pairs of the right ones with most of the lenses, and three pairs of the left ones with lenses.
Remember when they came out with the irridium lenses? Those were cool as heck, but scratched very easily.

Blades/Razor Blades on the left (depending on the lens as somebody pointed out) and Factory Pilots/Eyeshades on the right.
I liked my Razor Blades much better than my Mumbos and my M-Frames that I currently have. They lasted me a couple of years but eventually cracked at the ear stem hinges. Misplaced them not too long after that.

The M frames are a true cycling classic... I love my M frames so much even the cool new "radar" models have not even registered on my purchasing radar quite yet.

nothing wrong with Oakleys.
I still have a few sets of Iridium razorblades, and slit blades, a set of M-frames, and a newer set from a few years ago. I wore Oakleys when I rode in the 80s, Revos in the 90s, back to Oakleys at presnt.
a spare Iridium razorblade lens from my desk drawer
my current oakleys
one of my pair of Revo shades.
