For the sunglasses I just got, my optometrist's shop was having some sort of sale and then my vision insurance has a higher allowance if I buy from the same place, so it ended up being I think $150 out the door for exam (including contact lens fitting) and new frames/lenses. Seemed more than reasonable and I didn't have to go to another store again. These are the ones I got: https://www.mauijim.com/US/en_US/sho...tCode=766-02MD |

I wear Costas for driving, but I also do a lot of water sports which is what they are really made for. I only have experience with their 580G (glass) lenses but they are awesome.

I have a set of Oakley Holbrook sunglasses I wear when wearing contacts (one day a week when I play golf).
At this very moment I'm at the optometrist, updating my prescription. Considering my trusty Oakley Crosshair sunglasses were stolen, I'm shopping for a new set. About to head over to the Oakley store to try stuff on. Considering these:

Maui Jim Kanaha,
Polarized, but absolutely great driving lenses. I have a pair of Ray-Ban 4115 (also polarized) for everyday wearing that I don't mind driving in and a whole bunch of Oakley's for sports/activities. But the MJ's are awesome for driving. |

Or polarized options that work with HUD, but numerous other threads on the same topic show that HUD and polarized lenses don’t mix well.

At the time MJ’s didn’t make reader sun glasses so I bought a pair of Costa Deep Blues with readers. The polarization is very nice and I can spot dolphin( mahi) pretty easy under flotsam and I can tie all the complicated knots with them no problem, as long as the lighting is good. Still love and wear my Maui’s often just not fishing.

I have a set of MJ I love too - super light and forget they are on, but all MJ are polarized so driving with a HUD sucks ass with them. Looking for a pair of UP for the X5 HUD. Leaning towards the Oakley Holbrook and the Oakley Holbrook Metals. LOVE the look and feel of the metals, but the reviews are not great and no replacement lenses.
glennQNYC - did you know a lot of places make pop in prescription lenses for the Oakley Holbrook? One reason I am leaning towards them over the metals - even though I like the metals better. You could buy the ones you like and then some pop in prescription lenses when you want/need them and not pay Oakley $400 for the prescription lenses - which I think is insane.

I'm really partial to Oakley's for non-polarized. The problems I have with Oakley are trying find the right frame size with lens colour/combo. It's kind of overkill how many options they have, but if you find the right pair ... they are great glasses with fantastic optics.

MJ kind of work with the HUD. It isn't totally blocked out. And you just have to bend your head a little to see it better, don't need to bend 90 degrees. So if you fully want the HUD, then no go. If only for back up and an occasional glance, then you can get away with it.

Might be my Mr. Magoo vision too? I forget I even have HUD when my MJ's are on. If I turn to look at a mirror or something I catch a little flash of it and remember, that's about it.

A few pairs of Ray-Bans and Oakleys in both regular and polarized forms. I leave a pair of non-polarized in each car so I can see HUD. Oakley are plastic frames for sports and more relaxed look. Ray-Bans are wire-framed modern aviator styles.
