Hi Guys,

How are you?

Do you have some feedback regarding VAVA eyewear?

I'm interested on this sunglasses: https://vavaeyewear.com/shop/white-label-sun/wl0004/
I can't find any information regarding this…

Cheers!

So… I have had these DITA glasses I had done up for a few years and have never had the guts to wear in front of my wife lol - wondering if I should just keep rocking them as glasses (when she is gone, obviously) or if I should try to get my local rep to order me some tinted lenses and turn into sunglasses so they “see the light of day” (pun 100% intended)

I think clear frames look best with contrasting lenses IMHO. So if RX glasses, I’d prefer acetate with a hint of color. Pure transparent frames look best with sun lenses I think. (Otherwise they’re reminiscent of safety glasses…)

I have a pair of Maui Jim Sunnies that are similar to your Dita's @Appfaff and I love them….

[Appfaff]

@Giles - yep, there it is! Just spoke to my optometrists office and they can custom cut essentially any polarized lens I want for them.. Your MJs make a good point for a blue tint. Are those a grey lens with blue mirror, aka deep sea lens?

Don't know if I want to go grey (deep water, high sun) or an amber (Shallow water/Moderate sun) base with a green tint…

[Giles]

They are a deep water Polariser (though I use them in shallow water in UK).  In the tropics in shallow water I always use an Amber polariser.

They are these:

in light grey crystal

I have another pair of Maui Jim with same lens, which I bought for a steal off Ebay.  I don't go out onto the water in the tropics without a spare pair of glasses.  I did once, in Oman and the wind whipped them off my face early in the day, I had the most miserable days fishing, never again…...

in crystal

I have the Velzylyland in crystal too.    The Maui Jim super-thin glass polarized lenses are unrivaled. I wish they were available for 3rd party frames.

Congatulate @Madame Buttonfly they were an Xmas prezzie from her

@Appfaff stick in a set of Transitions lenses, and then they can be both.

Actually, their Driver's lenses look interesting. They vary between yellow and bronze depending on the conditions. I don't think that they go completely clear.

And I am still waiting for a replacement pair of Maui Jims (remember @Giles you borrowed mine for a fishing trip and lost them?)

I have a long memory 

[Kasi]

Oh dear me… long memory  :o

Never heard of the brand before but just picked up a prescription pair! Decent price and plenty of frame styles.

My favorite brand. Jacques Marie Mage.
