<DIV>I just got some new fun glasses for the 2008 campaign. I got them at
REI (#749-799-0015 - $120).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>They are the Julbo Nomad Photchromic sunglasses. These are pretty
cool. They are for low and high light conditions and really work
well. They are extra long and wrap around your head very well, so they
should stay on easily in wind, etc. And they weigh in at one ounce
with the side shields.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>They come with two different sets of side shields that snap into place to
provide additional protection. I was thinking these might be useful
in the desert sun and in snow conditions. It amazing how the light can
zero in on your eyes from the sides and from the ground below. I notice in
the desert that the ground really reflects a lot of light. This is true
also in the Sierras when you are around a lot of granite near the trail.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>These are definitely worth checking out if you are thinking of a super high
quality pair of sunglasses.</DIV>

<DIV>PS: Of course, I did not pay for them and used my holiday gift
certificates. :-)</DIV></FONT><BR><BR><BR><DIV><FONT style="color: black; font: normal 10pt ARIAL, SAN-SERIF;"><HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px">Start the year off right. <A title="http://body.aol.com/fitness/winter-exercise?NCID=aolcmp00300000002489" href="http://body.aol.com/fitness/winter-exercise?NCID=aolcmp00300000002489" target="_blank">Easy ways to stay in shape</A> in the new year. </FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
