    I need some help. I know that the weather isn't the best, however with the bright sunlight in the evenings I'm crucified with shots into the sun.
    I had a pair of polarised 'safety' glasses that were slightly a bit more stylish than a pair of welders goggles which worked perfectly however I broke them and the job are now using a different supplier so I'm fekced.
    Does anyone have any recommendations for glasses that will actually stay on your head when you're hitting the ball as I've tried different types and most of them are loose and fall off.
    Thanks, Ben.

    Maui Jim Stonecrushers with the HT lens, best there is for golf IMHO.

    Bolle smoke safety glasses are what i use. About €6.50 a pair. Very light and not polarized. No distortion when looking at the ball like I found with "better" sunglasses. They can scratch quite easily but at that price you cant go far wrong. If you lose them you dont get annoyed either.
    I got them in O Sullivan Safety Longmile Road Dublin. Worth a try at the price

    The Oakley G30 lenses are golf specific - supposed to be excellent for golf and reading greens in glare - pricey though.

    I was desperate to buy the flak jackets but I looked like a complete nob :(:(:o:rolleyes:

    You didn't think so when you tried them?

    I've used both and, honestly, I think the Maui HT lens is far better than Oakley's G30 in all but the dullest conditions. Both are excellent, but for me, whilst I marginally prefer the rose tint, the G30 is just a little too light. Just IMO.

    Not sure I've ever tried Oakleys. I had a couple of pairs of Maui Jim and they were amazing but not durable enough for me.

    I have a pair of Oakley Flaks about 7 years. Baulked at paying $150 (€100 at that time) for them in Vegas but i normally loose or sit on cheap glasses after a month. A great buy. Just be careful as there can be different sizes. I hardly know i am wearing them. Nice and snug through the swing.
