Got those too, 80s vintage, though I wouldn't call them way cooler, just cool in a different way -- more Getz than Yager.

I think you might have the comparisons reversed...

jeroen said:You guys are probably absolutely right. In a time when it was considered perfectly safe to just wear sunglasses to watch an atomic bomb go off, people where probably totally oblivious to the effect of uv rays. To my best knowledge the whole uv thing appeared not that long ago, which off-course poses the question of why didnt all those bomber crews flying high altitude missions go blind? At those altitudes where the sun is even stronger and uv even less filtered by the atmosphere you'd expect the harmfull effects to be even worse...
