year old window. I liek the Costa Del Mrs, but have had a pair or 2 walk
off.

Their H2Optics. Even come with a great neck strap with floatation.

Don't understand the made in France reference?

I usually buy glasses for less than $20 as long as they fit well, are
comfortable, and, looking through them, they seem to be not grossly
distorting or anything like that. I had a good pair of sunglasses
once and they didn't seem to function any better than the cheap ones,
and they succumbed to my abuse just as quickly - abuse in the form of
mistreatment and mis-placement, if you know what I mean.


I use the $20 jobs that fit over my prescription glasses. They do the job and I
don't have to pay $450 for a pair of prescription sunglasses.

Wearing a cap with a black underside to the bill helps tremendously.
