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.

Bass Pro has some really nice sunglasses for the price.

Costa del Mar. Green/amber lens.

How do you like them? Glass lenses?

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.

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.

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

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.
