No love for Vuarnet on the thread then?
Saw them backing Hawkwind at the Leicester Apollo in 1984. They were crap.

I’ve got a pair, along with about 6 pairs of Ray-Bans, Randolph Engineering and others I forget. All free from when I was in the opticians business.
I’ve been wearing the same pair of Ray-Ban Baloramas for 30 years.
Legend 03 a la The Dude are nice in my books. All depends what suits an individual face, anything with a small lens looks lost on my watermelon sized cranium

Could do with some type of tint on my glasses
No doubt they will cost a lot so won’t bother
Yes. I had a fantastic pair from about 85 to 95.
Don’t ask where they came from.
I loved them dearly.
Eventually plonked my fat ass on them and snapped them in two

Transitions do a reactive tint that works in a car now.
I have this on my prescription glasses and can say that yes it works but I’d probably still go for a separate pair of ‘driving sunnies’ as normal glasses don’t provide the side protection you need when driving.
I spent decades with reactive tints when I wore prescription glasses. I now wear contact lenses so just use normal sunnies.
Interestingly, I found that reactive glasses always had a slight tint to them even when in the darkest room, I struggled at night with them, and long term they left my eyes very sensitive to bright lights.
Spec faff; a day of fishing for me now involves contact lenses, a spare pair of contacts, reading glasses for up close work, sunglasses, eyedrops, cleaning cloth for glasses.

Can’t you wear monos?
I wear multifocal glasses at home or if I don’t feel like wearing contacts. Outside I prefer contacts with readers and sunglasses. I don’t like prescription sunglasses or tinting lenses.
I mean mono contacts so you don’t need glasses for close work.
Tried them, found them to be only adequate in performance 
I find mine to be excellent. But I know they don’t suit everyone.
