What sunglasses do you EDC?

I wear Costa Del Mar Harpoons. Cost less than my last pair (polarized Oakley XX's) and they are much higher quality.
 
My polarized Oakley eyepatches. I love them.

my truck: Oakley Xmetal
my wifes Jeep: Oakley Flak Jackets
out of town travel: Old Bolle Snake Skins after I lost the way older Gargoyls
retired pair: way way old Serengetti Aviators
 
I rotate between 3 different pair.

Matte Black Polarized Oakley Flak Jackets.

Gunmetal Polarized Oakley Square Wires.

Matte Black Polarized Oakley Half Jackets.
 
Oakley Half Jackets, polarized of course. I've had them for a couple of years, absolutely love them.
 
Maui Jim's, they are the best I've found.

I've tried Ray Ban's and Oakleys but the Maui Jims are the best.
 
Oakley Radar, either grey or persimon (orangeish) lens
Oakley Felons, black frame with "warm grey" lens
 
I used to be a polarized Oakley Minute guy, then had something like the polarized straight-jacket IIRC until I lost it, but for the past few years I've been sporting a polarized Arnette Tantrum:

I used to lust after Oakley X-metal Juliets...might still give them a try someday...

I've owned almost every decent brand under the sun... Maui Jims are great... Serengeti as well... Smith, Spy, Rayban, Dragon, Electric... so so IMO. I'm a raft guide and I can get most shades at 50% from mfgrs... except the best - Oakley. IMO Oakley is the only mfgr I've dealt with that actually treats their lenses as a perfect 20/20 prescription. I've been wearing Oaks since 10th grade... that's 14 years on and off. I'll never wear anything else as long as I can afford it. I don't care for a lot of their designs, but they do better every year. I currently EDC the "Crosshairs" which are great optics and fit, but not narrow enough to fit under the brim of most of my caps or whitewater helmet, The "Sweet - Strutter"... I like the brim low. I also have the Hijinx Matte black w/ polarized lenses... my favorite fitting shades of all time... still a little wide... I ocasionally wear my White Gascans, but they are a little obnoxious... which can be appropriate for me on those days... the white frames do cause a glare unfortunately. I have a funky "womens" pair on the way... I'm a funky guy... The "Grapevines" in the "bottle green" frame w/ polarized grey lenses... I'll be using them mainly for class IV-V raft guiding. I'll be stylin' like Jackie Onasis... Except with chops like "The King."
 
I have only two pair of sunglasses that I wear on a daily basis. The main selling point for both of these as far as I'm concerned is they both have optical glass lenses. That's hard to find these days. Their Both are fantastic.

I wear these Maui Jim's for driving and leisure. Light, grip my head and the lenses are excellent.

I like those a lot. I'm also in need of new sunglasses. Can you get them with prescription lenses?

If I'm gonna pay a lot for sunglasses, they're gonna be perscription.

Since you can get them without lenses, you should be able to get prescription lenses for them.
By the way, they are not that expansive, I payed like 33 for my mil spec ones.
