Hey everyone, so I'm in the market for a new pair of shades, a very bad obsession of mine. I have to have more!!! Ok so I have many Oakleys so I'm trying to stray away from them, but i'm not sure.

Just a list of the ones I have:
Oakley Frogskins (black): http://oakley.com/pd/4883/16375
Oakley Dartboard (black): http://oakley.com/pd/1232/2545
Oakley Gascan (white): http://oakley.com/pd/2222/6203
Electric (tiger): http://www.sunglassesgiant.com/electricecdc.html

I'm not sure which to choose though. I am into the single-frame style like these below.

I like these and the Ray Ban versions, but are there any others that look better or which of them are better. I have looked at the Maui Jim's, but their price is out of range.

Or maybe these: http://oakley.com/pd/5537
Just idk because they are oaks, but the white/blue looks awesome.

Please help me out.

Thanks, Bryant

Maui Jims are pricey, but I find them to be incredibly durable and thus a great value. But if you need multiple pairs, you're probably right in not splurging on them.

But with three Oaks already, I'd go with any quality pair of glasses that you like other than Oaks.........variety is a good thing!

Yeah I checked out the Cazals, but they are a little too over the top in design and I dont want wayfarers because the frogskins are the exact same style. I looked at the Maui's in that style i like, but they are about $330

I second maui jims - very understated and great quality. You can find them on ebay for cheap sometimes

Maui Jims are good, but mostly I'd recommend against Oakleys they're not worth the money. Look around and you can find good stuff. Ebay was a good suggestion.

The Frogskins are kind of sick with it. And they don't really look like standard Oakleys.
