Their customer service has a lot to be desired. I sent a pair in for repair, it's been so long with no reply, correspondence, or acknowledgement from them that I simply bought a new pair. Buy em' from PD, at least that way you'll get good customer service. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

popsjumper 2 #5 July 30, 2007 I've never understood the need to pay so much money simply for the "cool factor". Michael Jordan shoes at $100+/pair anyone?My reality and yours are quite different.

kingbunky 3 #7 July 31, 2007 i don't think it's just the cool factor, although that is a part of it. you get a lightweight, low profile pair of glasses and most models have two hinges which makes them more resistant to twisting and breaking off the arms. the price may seem high if you prefer buying $20 shades, but $120 - $150 is a pretty typical price for any higher end sunglasses. you can pay a hell of a lot more for a pair with a designer name on them and not get near the quality. that said, there's lot's of choice, buy what you like and to hell with everyone else."Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart."

derleth 0 #8 August 3, 2007 by far the best idea is to contact jason peters. he's known for camera flying but he is a very cool guy that sells gatorz for, i believe, $100 a pair. contact him in eloy. i think you can link thru the skydive arizona site; he's a coach for AZTC. you can email them at their generic address: aztc@skydiveaz.com blue skies, bro! ...

steveorino 7 #10 September 19, 2007 Ebay That is wher I have bought mine (3) Why pay more than you have to? There are some on there for $50 "buy it now" Don't bid on the Gatorz "style" sunglasses. They're like Choakleys, a rip-off, but there are some real Gatorz on there. steveOrino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JeepDiver 0 #11 September 19, 2007 Quote I've never understood the need to pay so much money simply for the "cool factor". Michael Jordan shoes at $100+/pair anyone? I had Ocean Waves for several years. IMO the best if your going to spend a great deal of time off shore looking into blue water or searching the distance under a strong sun. Ocean Waves also have excellent polarization which I dislike my Gatorz lack. It makes a big difference. Protecting my eyes is important to me.... but honestly, I do it for the "coolness factor" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atsaubrey 0 #12 September 19, 2007 I would like a pair of Gatorz but I have ruined 2-3 pairs in freefall and whacking helmets with them when I get into the burble. I learned my lesson and found some copies for $15. BTW i like Killer Loops and those are the copies I have....but I do love the Gatorz."GOT LEAD?"

LouDiamond 1 #13 September 19, 2007 If you like Gatorz but dislike not having polarized lenses and or the poor customer service, etc. I suggest you check out Liquid eyewear. Same durable aluminium frame (or nylon on the fashion frames) but with polarized lenses and they are made/manufactured in house in the USA."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
