pop 0 #1 March 28, 2005 So whats up with 80% of skydivers wearing "cool" shades? I must admit I own a pair of Gatorz myself that I wear from one occasion to another. But what is it about looking cool? Does that make people better skydivers?7 ounce wonders, music and dogs that are not into beer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #3 March 28, 2005 I wear gatorz b/c I destory oakley's very quickly and I want quality sunglasses to wear since I'm outside a LOT. Be it skydiving, on my motorcycle, whatever.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buried 0 #4 March 28, 2005 You think they make them look 'cool'? I think they make them look nerdy Where is my fizzy-lifting drink? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ccowden 0 #5 March 28, 2005 I personally wear sunglasses for skydiving because of the fact that my eyes are sensative and I am constantly in the sun. I think it is a good idea to wear some sort of protection for your eyes when you are outside that much. Plus, it looks cool! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigra 0 #6 March 28, 2005 I've started wearing sunglasses year round long before I started skydiving. Squinting causes crows feet, and if I can avoid wrinkles, I will! And of course, I go for the kind that looks best on me and provides the best protection without breaking the bank! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ccowden 0 #7 March 28, 2005 The reason I wear Gatorz is simply because they are designed for active use and they fit nice and tight around my eyes. The aluminum frames and double hinges are great for the abuse they take. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brains 2 #8 March 28, 2005 I think i have a problem. I own two pairs of Gatorz, two pair of Oakley's, and a really cool pair from Liquid Eyewear Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vdschoor 0 #11 March 28, 2005 I am wearing sunglasses so people can't see my eyes.. If they did they could see that I was really scared shitless instead of pretending to be all cool about jumping out of an airplane.. yeah that's it.. I think.. yeah!

DrunkMonkey 0 #12 March 28, 2005 I guess I'm odd because I have two pairs of Sorz (one clear, one dark smoke) for jumping, but my sunglasses are Ozzy/John Lennon circular lens/wire frames.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kris 0 #15 March 28, 2005 I love my Oakley's. My eyes are extremely light sensitive so I pretty much live in them. I gladly pay more for Oakleys because of their great optics. I generally get about 3 years of use out of a pair of Minutes, and they way they fit my face makes them perfect for jumping with.Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mnealtx 0 #16 March 28, 2005 I've been wearing a set of M-frames with the black iridium lenses...

PsychoBob 0 #21 March 28, 2005 ***Does that make people better skydivers? QuoteOne of my AFF instructors said there are 3 rules in skydiving. #1. No matter what you are doing, always look good doing it. #2. Always know what you are doing. #3. If you for some reason you don't know what your doing, refer to Rule # 1. My shades help me follow these rules."I'm not a gynecologist but I will take a look at it" RB #1295, Smokey Sister #1, HellFish #658, Dirty Sanchez #194, Muff Brothers #3834, POPS #9614, Orfun Foster-Parent?"
