Save your shopping list Sean. I will probably want to duplicate.

I'll make a thread when it is all done and working, not posting my slow growing pains. tongue.png If things go really badly I'll just sell off what I bought but I don't expect that. My pains will be extra large since I am going to have it control my house & car.

Yeah.... Totally gonna let you iron that one out first. Thank you for your masochistic need for the best for the lowest cost that is also the most versatile.

Maybe I will be able to take back the HRs and get them in bronze or gray for ultra sunny days. The wrap frame does such a good job at blocking light around my eyes I bet the bronze will be dark enough.

Oddly enough, that's why I have stayed with Oakley. I get em decently cheap and they block the sun out on the sides VERY well. With a big ass noggin like mine its not easy to find shades that fit well.J
Oakley's suck serious donkey dick in comparison. Of course an opinion, but I've tried them since and can't stand them.
I love Oakley.  I have had 4 pairs in 18 years and one of them lasted 11 years.  They are extremely tough, fit well, comfortable, and reasonably priced.  I've tried on hundreds of glasses and I always keep going back to Oakley.
My problem is their optics. Tifosi's kill them in that regard for way less dough.

I love the look of the Maui Jim's. I just am concerned with scratches, pits, or broken frames. A 400 dollar set of shades is not something you replace all that often.

Additionally my Oakleys are ballistic rated. Considering what I am coming from, that still weighs in on my decision.

This month, Sears announced the formation of a stand-alone company—the ominously-named Ubiquity Critical Environments LLC—to handle to conversion of thousands of Sears and KMart stores into data centers. Over the next few years, Ubiquity Critical will assess and convert more than 2,500 individual stores, basing its decision on store performance and demand. Ultimately, the structural skeletons of these stores will house servers, chillers, and generators, as well as roof-mounted antennas. In a crushingly ironic twist, the centers will target medium-sized e-commerce retailers—the very companies helping to put department stores out of business.

 

According to Crain’s, Ubiquity Critical’s name is derived from a compelling bit of data about Sears’ now-dwindling empire: 71 percent of the U.S. population lives within 10 miles of one of its buildings. It’s likely that we’ll see the centers pop up in areas like Colorado and Texas, where fledgling Internet businesses are more common than, say, rural Kansas:

 

    Only properties in large data center markets such as Chicago and Dallas, on sites with the best access to power and fiber, will be suitable. Sears' properties likely will serve lower-tier users with smaller budgets. Demand is high for data storage, particularly for small and midsized companies that don't need the top-tier facilities that serve banks, airlines and other businesses that can't afford to go offline even for a moment.

 

The phenomenon of the “ghostboxes” is well known, and Sears’ decision definitely isn’t without precedent. After a tornado devastated Joplin, Missouri in 2011, the town converted an abandoned mall into a replacement high school in less than two months. Another ghostbox—this one in Wisconsin—recently re-opened as an alternative church. The same goes for parks, libraries, and playgrounds. But the idea that the physical infrastructure that powered the last century's retail revolution are now serving as skeleton housing for this era? That's new.

Oakley's lenses get fucked WAY easier than Maui Jim's. I tore through Oakleys and other than a catastrophic drop have never ever had anything on my Jim's.

Ballistic rated and scratch proof are somewhat of the opposite realm.

I have had both J and the Jim polycarbonates will last longer and take more abuse. They also make them in the sub 200 range for poly with nylon frames.

I used them on my bike and felt safer behind those than the visor on my arai or shoie

Considering how beat up my Oakley's are after 3 years (a deployment, many adventures and daily use) I may buy some MJ's to replace em.

I would think they would go hand in hand. Can I get a readers digest version of why they are somewhat opposite?
