I'm lifeguarding this summer, and am looking to buy a nice pair of sunglasses. I was looking at Oakley and Ray Ban- because those are they only two brands I know. I would like something similar to the frogskin style.

Is there anything I should know before I buy a pair?
Any brands/styles that are peoples favorites?

Thanks for the help.

I just bought a pair of white Oakley Hol Brooks with purple lenses and absolutely love them. Frogskins are sick too, and better looking than Ray Bauns in my opinion. Not to say that Ray Bauns arnet sweet though.

I lifeguard too and I'm wearing a pair of spy haymakers, they're very comfortable and the lens is good quality.
If you want a wayfarer/frogskin look, check out the spy kubrik. My brother has them and they are pretty sweet.

As a fellow lifeguard I use wayfarers. I'm not sure if mine are but if u can get something polarized do it cause it helps a lot
