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 bent my wookie

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.

H2optix I believe are serenghetti

might want to check, though. I am pretty sure... One pair of serenghettis I had were my favorite lenses ever.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

Try Native eyewear (west marine)
Killer shades, great warranty, and around 100 bucks

hmmm. not sure if that is good or not.

I will toss in a vote for natives. I have never worn a more comfortable frame and there is a lifetime warranty for any reason unless they are lost. You smash em, just send in the pieces.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.
