Ear plugs & surf goggles?
« on: February 11 2008 21:02:00 »Ear canal needs to be drilled and my eyes are fried. I was just fitted for Docs pro plugs and the doctor told me about Kurtis Surf Goggles and Oakley Racing Jackets, but haven't heard much about them.
Any feedback would be great?

Worked killer on the glare as they are fully polarized.

Oakley Jackets suck! They sank like a rock in Indo. Also hard and uncomfortable before I lost them to the sea gods.
Trip still kicked ass, but if you don't have shades you will have migrains from the sun. Brutal on the eyes!

The only ones that have worked for me cause they stay on, float and are polarized.
Check em out at www.KurtisUSA.com - but use a coupon code

(cos the lenses wont pop out of the frame), take the arms off, burn some holes in the side of them feed some shoe laces through the holes, attach some elastic to the shoelaces and another shoelace to go around your neck so u dont lose them, and your away. Less than $10 bucks. save your eyes. Even cheap glasses do the job.
