i think i've found a replacement

so, i've had this pair of glasses for about 6 years. well, i've actually had two pairs of the same ones. i got the first in 2001 and wore them until they just too many scratches to see through them without getting a headache. so, a few years back, i managed to get a second pair. why did i like these glasses? well, i'm a fan of big square glasses. and, these were that. they also had really nice, clean lines too them. and, they were super light. a lot of big glasses are clunky, heavy things. not these. the main drawback to them is that they are just plastic lenses and they're not polarized. so, they don't really offer any uv protection. just shade and style.





now, i still like these glasses a lot. but, they're starting to get a bit scratched up. and, i've noticed that some of the tint is flaking off in some areas. so, i've been looking for a replacement of similar styling, weight, but with uv protection. polarized if possible. and i think i've found them: oakley gascan's.



i tried on a pair of the regular gascan's today (not polarized) and i really liked the fit. light, felt nice, similar fit to my gucci's. but, i'm still looking, and some of the others on the oakley site look nice, too. i'm trying to find a fresno store w/a big selection and to try on several different pairs.
