Maui’s and Costa’s are what I prefer, Oakleys seemed to always break and I got tired of dealing with the warranty hassle.

Only Oakley for me. Have been wearing them since the early 90's and they've always been great. Excellent customer service and warranty as well.

Oakley
They have a separate website for Military, Police and Fire. They sell lots of Z87.1 safety glass rated lenses, that are available in many frames, many colors, and polarized if you want them

What's wrong with RayBan aviators?
edit: I probably shouldn't have asked that, but ni modo.

Got my first pair of Costa’s a few weeks back and they are as good as everyone says. I went with the glass lenses… supposed to be a little more clear and they say they won’t scratch. They do feel heavier and more solid than the plastic ones. I’ve had good luck with Oakley in the past. Maui Jim’s are also great.

Oakley for me. I've tried a lot of others but the Oakley's fit my head the best. I clench my jaw a lot and the muscles around my temple area makes most sunglasses uncomfortable because of the pressure. The Oakley XL fit me the best even though I have a small head, I wear 7 1/8th fitted hats, but I guess my head is shaped like a block or something LOL.
Also their prizm lens are pretty awesome. Best of both worlds without all the weirdness of polarized lens for everyday driving. Tempered glass of windshields looks pretty crazy with polarized lenses.

Wore regular glasses for 40 years until I got Lasik. Can't see spending big bucks now to cover them up! I do have a pair of Ray Ban's my wife found at the airport that I keep in the truck though.

Oakleys I’ve had have been just too damn hard. Squeeze my fat head and they break when you drop them from 2 feet. My costas have always done me well, I actually like the poly lenses better than the glass. They don’t darken your view which is even better for my astigmatisms
