Today I've been jet-washing my Nan's patio to clean it. After getting my waterproof kit on I headed to my car to get my beater half jackets (which I always keep in there) to protect my eyes from all the cr@p. They weren't there! I forgot I'd taken them out to clean them so I had to wear the Eyepatch 2's I'd won.
They got splattered in mud, soaked, covered in grit - Luckily no scratches!

So, when have you had to wear a pair of Oakleys that you really didn't want to?

*edit*

Apologies for the poor grammar in the title/elsewhere - I'm knackered!

I ran Warrior Dash in June. I wore my Radars and I wish I had just left them behind. The first half of the race was in mountains in the woods, so I had to keep them on my head in order to see. They got banged up pretty bad from the low twigs. Then I pop out and get banged up by a bunch of swinging tires, still they're ok. I had to SWIM through a long pond and go under floating logs...all usefulness of these sunnies were gone at this point. They got snapped off my head from elastic ropes too. And the mud...thank goodness I escaped with them on my head, but they got trashed. I saw SEVERAL people lose Oakley's in the mud. I wanted to go after them but I knew they were done for.

Warrior dash? Is that a similar thing to Tough Guy?

Based not too far from me, people lose the will to live, never mind any sunglasses they'd dare wear

Similar, but not nearly as intense. I want to do the TOugh Mudder...half marathon of torture.

I've gone to play golf in 90+ degree weather and realized I forgot to grab my Half Jackets out of the car, so I've ended up soaking the ear socks of my X-Metal XX's. If they were still easy to get I wouldn't have minded.

Recently i destroyed my favourite driving pair of polar Flak Jackets on a concrete beam whilst they were head mounted, now they are useless and so i am forced to wear some of my customs to commute to work every day... not happy about it.

And i dunno if its just me, but does anyone else get that kinda feeling wearing Elites that you really want to wear them, but you kinda dont want to at the same time...?

i once went jet-skiing with a pair of XX black ruby, forgot i had them on , did a submarine dive, came up , and thought " hey , it's much more sunny than before i dove....... " gone were the XX.....

i didn't want to ... lose them ?

I'm pretty sure that I've never done that. My girlfriend on the other hand does it all the time. I once went away for a weekend and came back to find that she'd been using a pair of Ruby Clear Why 3s as a hairband (with predictable results).

Cyclocross race this past weekend - I forgot to bring a pair to wear during the race and was forced to wear my Echelon Radars that I had brought to wear AFTER I raced, while I hung around the venue, etc. Got smacked in the face with a pine branch on my first lap. A couple of hairline scratches are now visible on the previously PERFECT lenses. Still sick about that.

Look on the bright side, at least you didnt get pine needles in your eyes.
