[quote name='KuroOuji54' timestamp='1437885303' post='12020718']I have been wearing Oakley with g30 lenses for a few years and I love the lens quality, etc but I really do not like the sporty look. Can anyone recommend any sunglasses that have the same qualities as the Oakleys, but look a little more classic? Thanks[/quote]

Check out some of the wire oakley frames if you haven't. Some are pretty toned down.

what frame are you wearing? before my Oakleh TwoFace got stolen, I would wear them as my everyday and flak jacket/fast jacket as sport only or with a hat. now I have the Flak 2.0 and really like the fit so they're my everyday pair with Prizm golf lenses for the days I hit the course. Polarized Sapphir Iridium or Polarized Ruby Iridium for everyday wear.

It really does depend on the frames you are currently using for Oakley. They have a TON of frames so I'm sure you can find something of theirs that you'll like if you do like the lens. Costa have better polarized lenses, but they are polarized and most people don't like that when it comes to golf. But they are incredibly clear and crisp when you get to the 580g lenses.

Kaenon are nice lenses as well but I'm not a huge fan of their frames. Under Armour lenses aren't as good to me compared to all of them, but they have nice frames.

I personally feel Oakley has the best range of frames and best range of lenses, but I don't personally think they have the best lenses overall. That goes to Costa.

Oakley lenses don't do a good enough job of reducing sun glare and some of their polarized lenses can create odd duplicate reflections when driving and headlights or street lights hit the lens.

I've got 3 pairs of Costa's, 3 pairs of Oakley's, and 1 Under Armour right now. I've bought and sold plenty others. I end up ho'ing sunglasses like golf clubs...

Yeah, as I mentioned above big Costa fan. Have some of the Stingers in 580. Very light and stylish IMO. Used to really like the Oakley flak jackets too.

Never tried the golf specific oakley lens. To be honest, at a solid price point, UA makes some solid sporty shades

Right now I'm wearing the half jacket. I love ray bans but polarized really distorts my depth perception. Costas look awesome though. What frames does Oakley make with the g30 lenses?
[/quote]

G30 is available for the half jacket frame and a lot of others. Prizm golf lenses are also available for the half jacket. Oakley is having a BOGO sale (apparel & accessories only). good time to grab a polarized lens for everyday use and G30 or Prizm Golf lens for half off.
