good, cheap sunglasses... do they exist?

[sixstringsteve]

I ordered a couple pair of those from Zumiez and I like them! For being cheap glasses, they seem pretty solid! Thanks for sharing!

x2. I just got my 2 pair today and I'm really impressed. For $13 each, you can't go wrong. Let's hope they stay available for a while.

Oakley has a military/police discount of about 50%.

If only I were military or police.

bringing this back up from the dead. I've loved my zumiez glasses for $13. They've now cracked and died after a LOT of great use. Now I'm looking for something polarized and under $50. Any recommendations?

Oakleys are worth the price. The clarity of the lenses is definitely noticeable over the cheapies

I love my Edge safety glasses, and they are available in polarized.

Edge Eyewear is my choice for polarized ANSI certified safety sunglasses.

I can get a pretty decent discount on a lot of oakley products Steve, if you wanted to spend a bit more but not full retail.

Anything on the site, you won't be able to see my prices but just PM me anything you are interested in and I'll let you know how much.

If you do want anything let me know, I'm actually about to order myself another pair in the next couple days

Another option would be to keep your eye on some of the "rotating deal" type websites like steepandcheap or whiskeymilitia. I have found some nice name brand polarized shades there for a fraction of the cost of retail. I currently wear of pair of polarized dragons that i found online that have taken a ton of abuse and held up great.

I just picked up some Nike ones from Costco for 40 bucks. Polarized even.

I still have my 2 pair of cheap Zumiez, but picked up a pair of Oakley Gas Cans online for $70 and the difference in clarity is pretty big.

My problem with Oakleys is that I break or lose them within 2 months. I love them before that point though.

This - although for me it was Ray-Ban. Last time I lost a pair of Ray-Bans I decided to give a sub $50 pair a try. I'm the first to admit, in side-by-side comparisons I can tell the difference (found my Ray-Bans after buying a pair of Edge sunglasses). On the other hand $35 vs. $200, ability to use them as proper safety glasses, and no feeling guilty about abusing them. I can't speak for all of the cheaper brands, or all the expensive ones for that matter, but the Edge glasses are almost as good as my Ray-Bans and I don't wear the Ray-Bans anymore.

I love my Ray Bans.

But for stupid stuff where I could wreck sunglasses Fauxley's from Mexico fit the bill. I've got about of dozen of them floating around.
