Oakley polarized glasses are awesome if you want to spend the coin. Two years on my current pair and still no scratches and you can look directly into the sun and not have to squint. Gonna cost you at least 170.00$ though.

Ever hear of "Spotters" apparently an Australian company makes these. I have heard great things about them but no personal experiance.... supposedly awsome... Maybe worth a look.

If you don't want to spend a ton of money I bought a pair of Polar Eyes 2 years ago and they are great. Got them on line I think they cost 40 bucks and I find them to be as good as any of my $100 plus pairs I have, and I have several. They are very light weight and comfortable. Paul

the expensive bolles are great, the ones that are $100 or less are crap, I bought a few pairs on sale at sports authority a couple of years ago, and none of them lasted more than six months. very very easily scratched. my go to is the costa del mar. for $130ish you get a very nice shade with a lot of lense options that are very very hard to scratch.

I've only heard good on the costa del mars

I have a pair of Vectors (action optics) that have done well. Used them for the kayak in the sweet a couple of years ago and still use them in the salt. Survived a drop on the hardwood floor and a tumble on the jetty.

Like I said guys the expensive stuff is out.My ability to lose/destroy sunglasses is legendary.I've already been disappointed by glasses 3x the price of these.

Kadir,the Spotters don't go for anything under $200.Way out of my league.But nice no doubt.

I ordered them.If they end up not lasting then its back to CVS cheapies every few months.
