Gday guys,
Look i spend alot on sunnies up to $300 - 500each for plastic and glass sunnies. Jump told me to have a crack at the Viva sunnies so i grabbed at pair off him and i do have to admit. and for plastic lenses they are awesome i highly recommend them i have not tested them in the deep blue. But when i do i will let you guys know !!! Lets put it this way my spotters and dirty dogs have been sitting on my dresser for 2 weeks !!! for me thats saying something !!! -------------------- Of all marlin species the pacific blue is KING. Nothing runs as fast jumps as high or goes totally ballistic like a blue. Its not that you find A BLUE - A BLUE finds you |

I've had them 12 months now & not a scratch, carry a few pair on each boat but those wide lense wuns are the best on the water
Unlike Spotters they dont go BLACK

Benny they come from the same factories in china as the Shimano & all those other brands
Only prob with these glass's is that they have the name viva on them & peeps would rather pay more money so their glass's say Shimano So they've been a bit hard for the boys to sell to the shops Viva did have a sale B4 Xmas getting rid of stock shops didn't want & these glass's were on sale for $15 each I'll post it when times comes cause there'll be another sale B4 easter -------------------- Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

$300- 500 for glasses? Personally I'd rather grab another Trinidad for that money. But to share a bit of info, having worked in the clothing biz here in California, the company I worked for almost licensed out the name for sun glasses. My boss told me the MOST expensive pair of tortoise framed glasses cost $12.50 to produce. The rest is mark up. So don't be a sucker buying the trendy glasses unless your cash is burning a hole in the bottom of your pocket!

QUOTE (bafoo @ Feb 12 2010, 07:57 PM) Id be interested in a pair for under 20 dollars - so let me know when the sale is on again mate. I've stocked up on spare spares Marcel like Magilla Gorilla & his wittle cars in the cartoons I'm notorious @ losing or breaking sunnys but had had the same pair for 12 months now. Gave Bees a look through a pair of those big lensed wuns when I visited the tribe up @ Nelsons Bay & he wanted a pair The big lensed wuns aren't the prettiest in the range but by far the best on the water May take sum pics of the range if I remember Dont think there's to many left of any of them & boys wont be getting them in again so I may put some aside for ewe guys QUOTE I worked for almost licensed out the name for sun glasses. My boss told me the MOST expensive pair of tortoise framed glasses cost $12.50 to produce. Yeah we had a segment on wun of the current affairs programs over here in oz in regards to glass's purchased from optomotrists 5,000 % markup by the shops Says it all dosen't it ???? Gave up on buying expensive glass's cause I'd lose them all the time kinda liked the glass lensed Mako's but @ over $300 a pair it was getting a bit expensive replacing them all the time -------------------- Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |
