have you ever seen the glacier glasses worn on the Everest South Face expedition of '75, not the ray bans but the others that look like vuarnets with an integrated nylon side shield?
Perhaps you don't know what I'm describing, but there's a phote of them in the Bonington book.
Your site is cool.

I have a pair just like these! Really cool, but people look at me funny when I try to where them out in public. Go figure!
