When on the water or driving I need decent sunglasses as I am sensitive to
sun glare.

I don't like to spend a fortune on them (already lost a pair on my friends
boat) but I like polarized glass lenses.

I currently wear these glass lens polarized Ray-Bans:

$100. Not the quality of Maui Jim's or Revo's but they do the job. ;-)

How about you. Cheap, moderate or expensive?

Cheap Sunglasses - ZZ Top

When you get up in the morning and the light is hurt your head
The first thing you do when you get up out of bed
Is hit that streets a-runnin' and try to beat the masses
And go get yourself some cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Spied a little thing and I followed her all night
In a funky fine levis and her sweater's kind of tight
She had a west coast strut that was as sweet as molases
But what really knocked me out was her cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

(solo)

Now go out and get yourself some big black frames
With the glass so dark thay won't even know your name
And the choice is up to you cause they come in two classes:
Rhinestone shades or cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

I still have my Ray-Ban Aviators with ambermatic (sp?) lenses ... they
darken but primarily reduce glare ... perfect. They can still be had by
special order.

Will not buy a Ray-ban anymore. Had 2 Aviators break at the same place on
the temple. They say they are not warranted over 3 months. Last pair I
bought at Costco were Bolle's (even though they are made in France). $40.
Their H2Optics. Even come with a great neck strap with floatation.

Bass Pro has some really nice sunglasses for the price.

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 also prefer the $100 Ray-Bans with glass lenses, mainly because I also use
them when riding a motorcycle. I've tried several high end plastic lens
types, but they all had some distortion and lacked the image clarity of
glass lenses.

I was able to get a free replacement from Ray-Bay when I had a problem with
a lens constantly popping out from the frame.

And it was most likely my fault as I readjusted the glasses to make the main
frame fit closer to my face.

I did not see Bolle sunglasses sold here at Costco. Is it a regional thing?

How do you like them? Glass lenses?
