I have a pristine -never worn pair I am ready sell. Bought two pair back in 1994 when I replaced a pair I left in a phone booth one waning evening (remember those nasty places? )
Yes, I still love em - but- between Costas (for flying and extreme sun) and Serengeti's (driving), I'd rather preserve the keepsake! Pm me if you want to "haggle".

Just received my BRIMZ today, i purchased the Black and Fire ones, very interesting concept, they seem to block out the suns rays if your not looking directly at the sun, which how often are any of us blatently staring at the big yellow one, im gonna give these a try for a bit, but i'd also like to try there Black Polarized ones also. I'll let you all know how they work out.

Just an interesting note. Ray-Ban, Persol, Oakley, and Revo are all made by the same people. I forgot the name of the company, but I know this is true.

LUXOTTICA owns all of those brands as well as others. However, it is entirely likely that they may have separate manufacturing facilities and methods. Oakley was only recently acquired
