AgDrumma - I agree. I can afford me but i'm not sure you can.

so everything you buy is cheaper than $50?

I have a pair of Oakley M-frames I use for work. I'm very careful with them and they get left in the pickup, so it's unlikely i'll lose/break them. Everywhere else, cheapies, less than $20. Had the most luck finding good shades at New York & Co.

Oakleys, $140, going on three years.

The $20 Foakleys I had prior to that lasted a few months before the wire frame broke.

The $140 Oakleys I had prior to that lasted 2 years before the spring hinge gave way.

You do the math.

Got mine for $40 at Sportsman's Warehouse.

Says "Typhoon" on the top of the lens.

Inside frame says Polarized, Polycarbonate Lens.

My best pair of sunglasses ever. I've had $120 Smith, $100 Oakley, $80 Nike. None lasted me that long. They all tend to get scratched quickly on a construction site.

Bolle's -$70 at Academy. Polarized and more durable than others I've had that cost twice as much.

I'd like to try the Natives, though.

The SIL works for Fossil so I get free ones. The rib has about 12 pair of sunglasses. I had several, but I tend to throw them in the car seat as I get out and then sit on them when I get back in.

My gf gave me some polarized ones for Christmas, I would never pay $160 myself.

$75 Nike.

Luckily, I have been very fortunate regarding sunglasses.
Had them for going on 4 years

I wear polarized Revo sunglasses that cost around $200. I usually wear the same pair for at least 3 years, so it's worth the splurge.

Total waste of money unless you have the cheap ones. If they block out the sun, then they're doing the job.

Maui Jim's

I used to sell them so my pairs were cheap and/or free. That being said...I would drop $300 on another pair in a heartbeat.

Unless you need them for a true sports application Oakleys' are just not that great.

I have a pair of the titanium sports weigh nothing:



and a pair of the flexon bendable frames:

Costa Del Mar since I do a ton of offshore fishing. Spending the entire day outside on the water, it is almost imperative that you have a good set of glasses. I think they were around 150 bucks.
