Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By sywagon: @80085 These are a decent style but have the green lenses - I like the amber driver's and haven't tried these. Sierra is where I usually eventually find some though. Ignore anything that doesn't say polarized glass though. https://www.sierra.com/serengeti-modugno-sunglasses-polarized-for-men~p~1hfgk/?filterString=s~serengeti%2F These have the legendary lenses - arms are a little funky looking but not too bad. https://eyedictive.com/product/serengeti-dante-polarized-photochromic-wire-flex-rectangle/ I really like those second ones except the arms. Was looking at vuarnet and they have way too many different lens options. Quite pricy as well. |

RGT scales from Black Friday. Really liking the new grippiness over the polished smooth g10.
Aside, I am very pleased with the construction of the Kapara as this was the first time taking it apart. The screw barrels are all captive on both sides. No spinning like typical spyderco house designs. The pivot barrel is also captive on both sides and it has a sweet bushing. When assembling you can crank everything down tight without a worry. Blade centers perfectly and it flicks and drops shut freely without blade play. The blade also has an overtravel stop arch milled onto it that engages a pin in the scales. Excellent design. One of the best spyderco products.
