Drivewear Glasses

[Chucky2007]

One day Geely tells the whole world that their cars are build using the same material as Ferrari... It is the SAME as Ferrari even it's Geely. Dun give you certification of the car. Dun show u lab report of what the material is made of. Tells u that it's the The same material.

 

Selling cost of Ferrari $1million.

Selling cost of Geely $100,000

 

Example:

cost of manufacturing for Ferrari: $50,000

Cost of manufacturing for Geely: $50,000 ( Geely claims)

 

Would u buy?

 

I wouldn't. Either I buy that Ferrari, or some cheaper ones that cost absolutely cheaper than $100k

light grey is good when low light but not as good as brown or copper lens

 

dark grey is best when very bright sunlight

 

copper or brown is best when using in the evening or rainy weather as it amplify the contrast

[Kilatz]

same feeling too.

Just wondering why sharpshooters like yellow glasses.

 

I nearly bought one smith and wilson yellow glasses when I was in US, Contemplated for a long time but did not buy.

 

Sharpshooters who wear yellow glasses are so misinformed. Most don't know why anyway haha!

Orange is the best for indoors.

High prices cannot guarantee sufficient protection as no correlation between high prices and increased UV protection has been demonstrated. A 1995 study reported that "Expensive brands and polarizing sunglasses do not guarantee optimal UVA protection."[13] The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has also reported that "[c]onsumers cannot rely on price as an indicator of quality".[14] One survey even found that a $6.95 pair of generic glasses offered slightly better protection than did expensive Salvatore Ferragamo shades.[15]

Read this, dude.

 

Basically so long as the sunglass meets the international standards, it protects yr eyes, doesn't matter it's $20 or $200.

 

Expensive sunglass doesn't mean it's any better, except it strokes your ego.....

 

BTW, the highest strictest standards is the Australian standards. You want good sunglass, get one that meets australian standards. If the $20 sunglass meets this australian standards, it's the best you can buy.

You dunno things, dont spout nonsense here.

 

There is always a good reason why sharp shooters wear yellow sunglasses.

 

Gray and green lenses are considered neutral because they maintain true colors.

 

Brown lenses cause some color distortion, but also increase contrast.

 

Turquoise lenses are good for medium and high light conditions, because they are good at enhancing contrast, but do not cause significant color distortion.

 

Orange and yellow lenses increase both contrast and depth perception. They also increase color distortion.

 

Yellow lenses are used by pilots, boaters, fishers, shooters, and hunters for their contrast enhancement and width perception properties.[10]

Blue or purple lenses are mainly cosmetic.

Yellow Lens Tints: Improves contrast, reduces glare, perserves sharpness. High Intensity tint for maximum sight performance during low light driving. Excellent for Night riding, overcast, haze, or fog conditions. The brightness of this lens makes it the choice of many mountainbikers, shooters and cross-country skiers. Yellow enhances contrast by filtering out the somewhat scattered, out-of-focus blue light from the scene. Hunters, pilots, and tennis players find them helpful for this purpose.

Dude I shoot for Singapore. And I shoot for a living. I don't want to argue with you. Whatever works for you.

By the way half the things in wikipedia is unfounded and unverified. Just like this yellow lenses things. Do come to the National Shooting Centre and shoot outdoors in yellow and see how many people smile at you.

And that is why good institutions forbids quoting from wikipedia in thesis.

 

[Donut]

Since u are a pro shooter, u can ask your fellow team mates why yellow sunglasses r better.

 

What doesnt works for u, doesnt mean it doesnt work at all.

Like I said dude, whatever works for you. I have no need to ask them. In fact, they ask me actually. So go on use wikipedia as your source of knowledge. But my advise will be to go out there and do things physically rather than be an armchair critic.

 

By the way, NONE of us uses yellow. Not only does it not work for me, it doesn't work for the whole team. And purple lenses, the ones you easily brushed off as 'cosmetic' is actually very much in use by the clay shooters. I won't bother to explain why.

Dude.. Thanks for the neat advice.. So I would nt buy Ferragamo sunglass.. But who is mentioning sunglasses from this kind of Ferragamo, chanel, gucci brand??

 

Anyway please dun believe everything from Wikipedia. I dun know what standard is the best standard. It's like diamond got GIA, HRD bla bla.. Which is best??

 

U may think that Australia standard is best bec wiki says so.. But That article is written by an Aussie? Aussies I know are damn pride full... Everything Australia produces is the best.. That their mindset so I quite solute them

 

Just curious.. Where to get a real Australia standard $20 sunglass in Singapore? I mean has to be real ones.. Too much fakes around

 

$20 I dun mind buy to try... $20 I should be able to afford..

So there is scientific purpose to the yellow lens.

 

I can be more assured to use it with more confidence.

 

 

[5936]

That could be the reason some sunglasses came packaged with all these colourful interchangeable lens.

My Smith Optics have these, but I am questiioning myself over the practical use of these lens daily. For example, driving halfway and the weather changes, got to stop to change lens.

 

The drivewear with autochange features ease drivers with these lens change trouble.

 

 

[5936]

I have copper lens in the kit. But haven't use since day one.

 

Maybe I will rig up for trial.

 

Thanks.

[5936]

For me quality and practical outweighs fashion.

 

It could be cheap, but lens and frame quality is a must.

 

some cheap lens is dont have the optical finishing and they give you the magnifying glass effect.

 

I will pay more if it come from optical manufacturer.

 

But will not consider if its from fashion designer.

[5936]

I am more confuse now.

 

More confuse since the day I nearly buy the smith and wilson yellow glasses. Gun manufactuer also made yellow lens, errrh. I blur.

 

Even though I got yellow lens eventually, but I still have the doubt if it as real as it supposedly claim.

Haha dude don't worry.

Firstly it's smith and wesson. They are gun manufacturers in the US.

Yellow lenses are only good in low light conditions so shooters only use that at that time. Yellow lenses tends to make everything appear mainly in 2 hues, black and bright yellow unless you use very light tinge of yellow. No one uses them in bright sunlight as it pains the eyes and one spends more time adjusting to the light condition than actually acquiring the target. Professional targets are usually black, and your gun sights are usually black too...you get my drift.

 

So it depends on what you use it for. As we don't shoot at night, yellow lenses have little practical use unless the range is indoors AND dark. Why does gun manufacturers like smith and wesson or beretta or colt makes yellow lenses? Because there is still a large market of people who is not informed and buy them without knowing. I was in in Germany for a competition when I see a gun booth selling yellow lenses. I asked the seller why that is there. He smiled and said that there are always new shooters who wants to look fanciful.

 

If it's for driving, I agree with some bros here that those polarized sunglasses selling at the petrol stations are quite enough for daily use. Get a light tinge of grey or brown so that it does not block out too much light when you drive into multi storey carparks. Light shades also helps you to see better during daylight rainy weather too.

 

So good luck on your choice.
