I am in love! 

Probably my next pair of sunglasses.

I will try to save one for me. It has been a good year I didn't find one which drove me crazy.

Pretty cool looking....but I doubt I'd like my peripheral vision blocked by the side pieces.

You can always remove the leather parts. ;)

These look great, I love side shields! The change in peripheral vision isn't bad but they can get a little warm in the summer

Yes, but it is not that problematic if you remove them. And when you are on a track, with a Super7, believe me, you would love having this kind of protection against the wind.

Oh, for sure, I am a fan of the side shields protection against wind. Just need to get the super7 to go with 😀

My daily wear sunglasses have fixed side shields, probably a good thing since I would likely lose them anyway.... I hope you get the persols and report back! ...  

I will as soon and if I get them.

Very cool!

I saw these announced earlier today — they look awesome! Perfect for an automotive gentleman like yourself!

Hehehe yes! I see we are frequenting the same good places. :)

 
 By: amanico : January 11th, 2022-23:36

But the price!

 
 By: orahu : January 12th, 2022-00:19

A bit high, yes, but still... For a good pair of sunglasses... It is ok.

 
 By: amanico : January 12th, 2022-07:04

I would also take them for hiking 👍

 
 By: @lberti : January 12th, 2022-00:09

Of course! With a Rolex Explorer on the wrist.

 
 By: amanico : January 12th, 2022-07:28

perfect match!

 
 By: @lberti : January 12th, 2022-08:16

Yes!

Cool shades, Nicolas; now you can be an undercover vice cop, lol..

Just like Sonny Crockett in Miami Vice. I know. He wore Ray Bans. But this is how you would put your own distinctive visual flair on the subject.

LOL. Good one, mon ami.
