no more red eye
Posted: Tue Aug 16, 2005 11:59 amFound some excellent sunglasses that pro surfers / kitesurfers use and there was a special offer so I have a spare pair.
They are similar to the Oakley Water jacket only they are much cheaper and float (as opposed to the £250 Oakleys)
Anyway, they offer 100% UVA /UVB protection, are polarised, don't fog and withstand the largest wipepouts as they wrap around your head. They are also very lightweight (polycarbonite frame) so you barely know you are wearing them!
Took me ages to find these! I am new to surfing and am going to Hossegor (in 4 days) with my fella and I asked him how to protect my eyes from the sun and he didn't know if there was anything! So I scoured the web and found these! Now I can't wait to try them out. Not really much call for sunglasses in Abersoch or Scarborough (where I have been surfing so far!)
Anyway, to buy them online (kitesurfing website and another sports sunglasses website I found) would cost £59.99.
You can have these for £35 (plus postage)to cover my costs. Can't say fairer than that - and you get a lightweight bag as well to keep them protected.
See www.seaspecs.com for piccies and more info / testimonials etc.
