Rayban or Oakley- which is the best quality?

I've had several pairs of Oakleys and have no qualms about recommending them. One bonus point in Oakley's favour is that their repairs service is excellent if you do manage to break them.

Not had Raybans so can't give an opinion on them.

yes

Didn't like them at first, Brown Drivers Polarised, as I could see my own eye balls reflected back at me in the blue mirroring on the back of the lens. But now I've learnt to ignore that, it's like watching in HD. Contrast and definition on grey dull dark days or in the rain is amazing.

Best sunglasses I've ever had, for driving anyway.

They are both owned by the same company (Luxottica) so I suspect they will be pretty similar.

I personally went for Ray-Bans.

Yes, or Revo at a pinch.

Oakley and Ray Ban both have crap quality lenses. Try a pair of Maui Jims or Serengetis to see what a decent set of synglass lenses are like. They cost a lot more bevause thy are a lot better.

Polarised Oakley lenses are cheap and nasty and give weird shimmering effects, particularly when looking at water.

Got to agree with Maui Jims, have had a pair for a couple of months and they are very nice. used to have a pair of Bolle Limits, which were good but, the Maui Jims are much better.
