Atavar Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Well a month later than advertised they have put up the new range of products on the flexishop, and amongst the asorted goodies i found that flexi have launched their own brand sunnies made from "Aircraft Aluminium" http://www.flexifoil.com/shop/apparel/mens/eyewear/ Cheaper than oaklys, should i? I'd be going in for a pair of Radiators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atavar Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I have previously bought polerized oaklies for £125 in 04, which i recently lost I checked the prices and for the same spec its now £170... a bit much even for me.

Rich Holloway Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 You could get a nice pair of raybans with glass lenses for that much dosh. I know that polycarbonate is tougher but i have literally lost hours on the field trying to get the smears of polycarbonate lenses, glass ones are so much easier to clean.

Atavar Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I've smacked myself in the face with my handles a few times, don't want glass in my eye ta. EDIT - Yes, i am that clumsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbcrx Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I know I'm not not much of a fashion expert (and would never pay nearly £100 for sunglasses anyway!), but are all those sunglasses not exactly the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avspider Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I know I'm not not much of a fashion expert (and would never pay nearly £100 for sunglasses anyway!), but are all those sunglasses not exactly the same? No sunglasses are not all the same, and eye's can't be replaced, so we both use polarized lenses:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abba Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I know this is a flexi forum and all that but those sunnies look poor You have to be a true fanboy to buy flexifoil sunnies Oakley's anyday, they are by far the best on the market... the lenses out perform anyother from my experience Radar's with Vented Path lenses:D might be 180£ worth but you look the part:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atavar Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 You have to be a true fanboy to buy flexifoil sunnies Probbably Its the only brand that i'm actually interested in at the moment though since the console market lost me last gen. I am currently useing a pair bought for £3 from the factory shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nudge1599968719 Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 wrapters are around the £65 mark to purchase. £30 for the flexi name on it?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atavar Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Wish i knew where you were getting them from, i can only find them here - http://gatorzsunglasses.co.uk/store/ - for the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidmarks Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 never heard off them i love my oakleys though all 4 pair of them the protection is superb and if you look around online you can get very decent priced ones actualy i think alot of flexi but these glasses dont do it for me for two reasons the look of them and the live to fly logo on the side of the glasses dont do it for me but eveyones got there own taste just doesnt rock my boat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spock Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 i got a pair of these for £7 at decathlon, they do the job pretty well. http://www.decathlon.co.uk/EN/sunsky-700-su-3923350/ i'd really like to get a pair of the wiley sxg though on prescription, but can't justify the cost atm. those flexis don't look like they have anything (sponge) to keep sand from blowing up/down behind the lense, which i'm a bit surprised about, although i suppose not everyone kites on the beach.

rgbartlett Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Sorry, but I can't go for a brand who has promotional pictures like this http://www.heatsports.co.uk/images/biker.jpg Plus, like others have said Dirty Dog look much better value for money, Rob Hills uses them and he gets bashed around plenty!
