How are transparent frames? I think they look abit douchey but they seem to be pretty popular nowadays.

Fantastic glasses. I've got to seek out some Mykitas. I recently got some IC Berlins that are similar but I'd like to compare them to Mykita.

i own both and besides a few slightly different design details, they are very similar to each other from the materials used and quality...

Personally, transparent isnt all that nice. I wouldnt do it, but to each their own. Its a phase, not a trend/style.

Alain Mikli is not what it used to be. In my opinion, for what you pay and the quality that you get, its not worth it. They used to have a monopoly on the high-end, good quality, fashionable frames. Nowadays, every Joe, Rick and Suzie has a pair and its not as good anymore.

I have a pair of these Oakleys. They probably aren't to the taste of most of you here on SF, but I like them quite a bit.

I'm constantly impressed by the hinge detailing on IC Berlin's. Spectacularly designed.

I have this exact pair. I keep breaking my glasses', and Oakley's have been notoriously strong and seem to take abuse.

If you can appreciate hinge design and frame design, look at Kio Yamato. Some of the frames are hingeless, they are curved titanium that bend.

If youre looking for tough, also look into Adidas. They have a "performance steel" that is flexible and the frames are super light (unlike Oakleys).
