I don’t know about you, but I am super particular about my sunglasses! Of course, we are our own worst critics, but it’s so hard for me to find a pair of shades that doesn’t make my face look ridiculous! If you have a shorter, round face like me, then maybe you can related with me when I feel like everything always takes up all the space on my face. I love aviators, but I can never find a decent pair that don’t feel like they’re going to snap right away. I also love the bigger sunglasses, but like I said, my face disappears when I put them on.
I decided to look into Oakleys because I figured they’d have a few good sizes since they are an incredibly popular brand. Their signature line is really the only style that I think of when I think of Oakleys. They’ve always been too narrow and seem to only look good on guys, though.
So, I decided to think a little more subjectively and do some research about what else Oakley has. Come to find out, the women’s section is loaded with many pairs that I was actually considering.

The Beckon series caught my attention the most. They had cool colors that I normally wouldn’t pick out for eyewear. The Beckons in Grape Juice/Black Violet were the ones that I liked the most. And guess what? I ordered them! I’m pretty excited about my selection. I feel like I finally found a good size for my face, a good color that isn’t totally common (but isn’t totally weird at the same time), and something that’s obvioulsy sturdy because, well, Oakleys made them!
Whether you’re a hiker, a biker, a climber, or all of the above, having the right shoes for all strenuous activities is critical. Most people will base their outdoor shoe selection primarily on price, which isn’t always a bad thing (I know, I like my deals too!) But what about your comfort, ability, and endurance? Sure, your feet might feel great for the first 30 minutes or so, but what about after the first hour or two? Blisters and sores on your feet can bad enough to the point of mobility. Why not save yourself the misery and get yourself a nice, sturdy pair of shoes that you can rely on for all of your adventure months?
Now I haven’t been continuously climbing and hiking for very long, but I think I’ve been doing it long enough to know what is a good shoe and what isn’t.
I just recently invested in the Keen Alamosa Hiking Shoe, and it has literally been a God-send to my feet! What’s weird is that, for some reason, I have never had any odor problems with them. Their ventilation is excellent so when I take off my shoes in the car after a long hike, nobody is complaining.
