Lots of people in this newsgroup have a Francophile phobia. As to
distortion, do not want any noticeable. Give you headache. Last $14 pair I
bought, On trip when I broke the ear piece off, droped on ground, and the
left eye is good, the right eye looks like you are looking through a 500

$40.
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.

When I buy new eyeglasses, I have the optical shop send the frames away
(titanium) and have a pair of sunglasses custom made for a perfect fit.
Costs me $90 - 100. each time.

I wish! My folks want $350 just for the lenses!

These are custom made snap-ons...with the four little grabbing hooks.

Ah. I've tried those, but on the boat the wind gets in my eyes and makes them
water badly. I need something with protection on the sides. When I mentioned the
price, I was referring to the wrap-around style.

Jeez, Bill, how drunk were you when you wrote this? It's barely

Probably made perfect sense to Bert.

And what have you contributed on your own, Donny? You only seem to be in
here to brown nose HK and Kevin.

Jeez, Kevin. You should learn to keep your mouth shut. Better for you to
be thought a fool, than to prove it.
