windows for your head

I dont wanna go all too in-depth about eyewear..but somewhere over time the fine line between function and style took a shit...
dont believe me..watch fools with em on the top there helmets instead of on there faces...heck there are company's who are known for there stylish shades that have made helmets friendly enough to store there crappy eye-wear on top...whats up wit dat?

 i will say this it has gotten better over the years..but man there was a time when it was near the point that you could get better sunglasses from the hottie at the local Shell than at the Sunny King Pagoda at the mall i like a little bit of everything thats out there but man there has been some failures...some have made some great products only to be overshadowed by there name..

Tifosi:
Tifosi which are Serfas brand which are too numerous other cookie cutter Taiwanese cheapos..the closest thing to gas station eye-wear you can buy ..they dont cost an arm and a leg and if lose em your only out the price of a few fast food meals..id sport em but they sit crooked on my ears..and with the downside..no eurofuck would be scene in them makes them questionable.. ..you make the call

Rudy Project:
back in the day they looked cool on Das Kaiser lots a great products over the years lotsa shitty ones too.. the lenses are durable enough when you drop that shit,,,and you gonna drop em at some point..they dont get all chewed up...decently..priced..hey everyone gets the pro-deal on this company my favorites are the Rydons..downside they dont fit all faces..but thats a downside any pair glasses right

Specialized:
remember when you had the Big S company feedin you Kool-Aide for your face big words, like adapta-lite and some others i cant recall..crazy expensive and some really bad looking windows for your eyes..the Black Ace sported the swing-arms during the blue-wave reign of terror back in 06...towards the end i will say they had some good looking euro inspired shades..the ARC the Muira but by that time they had already moved on to the next shtick...

Oakley:
The kings of cool the gold standard of the dopple gangers all over..i could go on with a little blue-vein anger infested rant over this company......... soo many cool pieces and optics that are far greater than anything available...they look good but not on everyone...cant afford em? Ali-Express will get you some that look soo close even your teamies wouldn't know there fake..Sagan wears em and he is the man right now right??

one word M frame  in a vast colors and options..and style of lenses..these windows set the bar..

Bolle'
...............KILLERLOOP...deadly Nedly wore em..

Arnette.
another stylish pair of shades from the 90's scoop up a old pair of Ravens, Catfish or Hotcakes if you can ..Leigh Donovan wore em and she was hot and Fast...a double whammy!!!

Smith 
My all time favorite i loved the slider line.the bazookas were kick ass and only the cool scneres sported them early on..i think even DC had them and he was the coolest and fastest dude out there on that bright yellow plastic Gary Fisher......highly sought after by my secret self..
pity there helmets dont follow suit..cuz you can wear  em withou the matching ld...this what happens when a snowboard company makes eye wear for cycling they look rad enough to hang with that special someone after the event not just when your gettin butt dropped


Lazer
cool lids...but i question any company that has made magnetic sunglasses...now thats a WTF..some of there stuff looks passable but there are better options out there..like fight club if your wearing a Lazer you have to wear there glasses..

Briko
where do i start..Iconic, functional..made by ski racres to withstand wind, snow and ice..stylish 5 years ahead of there time...and worn by the dopest euromotherfuckers around the world...and more closer to home  stoned cold crazy Missy G and the  Volvo-Cannondale squad as well as too numerous misc late 90s mtb teams across the NORBA circuit..around..way cool in there day..now..the jury is out. the Stingers are the go to but crazy ridiculously over priced on evilbay..but wtf they like everyone else have a throw back line...fuck it be different get down with yer bad self

My simple rules are simple.....find a pair that fit my face..if you can pair em with the helmet brand..or coordinate with your kit..change em often..big bright loud colors are ok..but only for certain events..big bonus points for mirrored lenses...if a helmet company makes eye wear and your wearing there lid..you wear there glasses no mixing in matching going old school..only certain brand are cool ...


be smart take care of your peepers there is alot of rad shit out there to look at..
