im trying to sort out which sunnies are the best for kiting and to use for our school, looking at factors like: UV Portection, Value, Shape, Availability..
Your experience/feedback with sunnies would be much appreciated!
I use Bunnings safety glasses with UV filter - used to be $10 - now $15 but still worth it. I dont tend to treat sunnys very well so these are a better option than paying $100 for a peice of moulded plastic I'll just lose or scratch sooner or later.

I used to just use the $15 sunnies you buy from the servo and drill a small hole in the end of the arms then tie some old kite line from there to my harness, so on a big dunking I wouldn't loose them. But now I have a pair of seabreeze sunnies that were bought for me for my bday. The new ones do offer better splash protection, as they are contoured to your face and I really like them. I was looking at waterjackets, but seeing as they were being bought for me, I just went for a chaper option. They are a big improvement and I won't go back.
Hi, I bought some Sea Spec's (from the USA) last year when the $AUD was stronger - they are awesome! Loads of UV protection, don't fog, drain instantly, they don't fall off when, are really strong, and you can see great especially in late afternoons as the sun gets lower....
^^ Yeah they do fog... I have to lift mine up a bit every now and again to get the air circulating or dunk them in the drink... good sunnies if your buying in bulk with the 3 for 2 deal or whatever it is.
Any lens in front of your face will give uv protection (even clear safety glasses). I think what you are talking about may be glare protection, otherwise pretty much everything has "loads of UV protection".

Not true, UV penetrate galss and plastic. Dark sunnies with no UV reducing layer are worse for your eyes than nothing at all, as the eye dilates and allows more UV light in to the retina, not good.
