Could buy some Okaleys, so bloody expensive you would allways want to make sure where they are!!!!

I've lost two pairs of Oakley Half Jackets so far but as I still have the extra lenses I have to buy new frames!

Great glasses though....

Long shot Mr Sworld but it might be worth giving Oakley Customer Service a buzz as I've had some excellent service in the past when an arm snapped on a pair of mine.

It was well outside of the warranty period but they replaced the entire frame at a fraction of the retail cost and offered to do the lenses whilst they were at it.

Out here in Aust we have sunshine[!] so we have a standard for sunglasses called an 'eyeprotection factor'.  Just about all sunglasses here are rated EPF10 [you wouldn't buy anything else] so you can choose any tint of lens you like blue, yellow, brown etc and still get EPF10 protection. 

Cancer Council sell their own brand tho' their own shops for about 10-15 pounds so if you have anyone on hols here get then them to pick up a pair or two.  They're not Oakleys in style but they do the job - afterall the Council's main goal is protection not red carpet style.

Hardware stores also sell EPF10 glasses with shatterproof lens' as our tradies work outside too.  Some of those are pretty stylish too!

I know I'm late responding, but I've found nothing wrong with Bloc glasses, again around the £30 mark. In fact they provide less tiresome use than the Oakleys they replaced. An as said above, the Cebes I've had in the past were pretty good....
