For the international backpacker, Burberry is one of the top designer eyewear choices. Travel bikers and outdoor enthusiast alike also love Ray Bans and Oakley. We recommend these top three brands for the outdoor guru with short descriptions and rationalizations.
Burberry eyewear is durable, edgy and totally designer. Backpackers and outdoorsmen prefer Burberry over sport-specific eyewear like Oakley because it remains stylish and chic while effectively blocking out damaging rays. The wrap around style of lens also blocks peripheral glare and water and snow surface reflections. Meanwhile, the diversity in the 2009 collection ensures there is a style for every face shape.
Oakley eyewear is specifically designed for the extreme sportsmen, and has comfort, aerodynamics and fit as their priorities. For those less concerned with fashion and more concerned with performance, Oakley is the way to go. You’ll spot top athletes decked out in Oakley gear, and many a biker (Armstrong included) swears by them. For those traveling in cold or extremely hot climates, you might want to consider Oakley eyewear for extreme sun blockage or goggles for snow or sand storms. In addition, Oakley has recently branched past their extreme sporting focus and have designed a few women’s and men’s casual sunglasses for the 2009 catalogue.
Ray-Bans are ever classic and give off an aura of a clam, collected and peaceful traveler. While every Hollywood star wears Ray Ban’s these days, they used to signify a divergence from designer fashion and towards self actualization and independence. While on the road less travelled you’ll encounter countless backpackers, wanderers and vagabonds with Ray Ban’s proudly resting across their sun-burnt noses. Their lightweight frames are convenient for those with heavy loads while the large lenses do block a great amount of light. Newer designs have been added in 2009 that defy the Aviator and Wayfarer classic looks, check them out.
