So needed some new driving glasses after scratching my raybans thought I would try the sungods. Look good but do not feel as substantial as the the raybans, 4 hour drive this afternoon so will report back with findings next week.

If you want the best polarized lenses there's really only one choice... Costa del Mar.

Well... the Hawkers turned up, from Spain, in 48 hours which is pretty impressive.

Same kind of thing as the Sungods, includes a nice box, cleaning bag, usual stickers etc. Polarised/UV400 and exceeds protection requirements for EU/Australia/USA.

Budget feel to them, but nicely finished plastics and the lenses seem really good. Correctly Polarised (I've checked).

I went for Carbon Black with Emerald lenses.

Although they look quite similar to Sungods in the photos, they are a bit of a different shape and I actually prefer them to the Sungods. Squarer looking and I do like them. More like the SPY+ Helm glasses.

Total cost for these were £23.50 including postage. There are some on their site for around £19.50 inc postage when you convert from Euros.

Crazy cheap. I can afford to have a couple of pairs and lose them for that wink

For the price - very good.

I'm happy with the Sungod's for the moment, but if anyone else is wondering else there is out there, a friend recommended 'Hawkers' sunglasses to me.

http://hawkersco.com/

Made in Spain but post to UK within 5 days.

Same idea as the Sungods - Polarised and UV400 but 30 Euros a pair and loads to choose from.

Their Facebook page appears to have the special editions etc on there: https://www.facebook.com/Hawkersco
Going to order a pair of these. Was looking at the Sungods after seeing them again on Facebook and remembered this post so did a search. They're like £50/£60 now and the Hawkers are <£30.

For anyone ordering from Hawkers website use UNIDAYSUK50 discount code.

SPRING17 also but doubt you can stack codes.

I've been an Oakley fan for 20 years, but think the quality has really dropped off lately ( so much so I mistakenly thought a pink pair I bought on EBay recently for my wife were fake!).

Have now bought two pairs of old square wire (my favourite), re-lensed one pair with Zeiss lenses, and put the other pair away as insurance!

Maui Jim sunglasses for me. So much better than anything else I've tried. When looking through them colours are even slightly enhanced.

No. They can vary slightly. If you go into Maui Jon's website, you can actually filter by size. I've got Maui Jim Atoll as I have a smaller face/head so most sunglasses look too big on me.
