Which do you think are better and also lower cost?

I need new sunglasses, my cheap 15 dollar sunglasses broke and i was thinking maybe actually getting a real pair off sunglasses.

I like the Wire Style

Also it seems having them Polorized is much more expensive is it worth it?

So Oakley or Bolle or should i go back to the mall and get those cheap nockoff ones.

um, just got buy another $15 dollar pair! Why spend 100-500 on SUNGLASSES!!!!!!!!!!

You can lose em, sit on em........ and they will probably break just the same. Or, find a cheap pair you like, and buy 10 pairs of them.........

If you break them, just whip out the next pair and go on your way :)

Check out Ray Ban. They make good quality Sun Glasses (especially that style). When you find the model you like head on over to CostCo and pick up a paitr there as they are usually 25%+ under retail.

Oakley is one of the worst brands to wear as far as optics go. Seriously, with the money you'll spend on an Oakley, you can get much better quality sunglasses.

These are similalar to the style you are looking at and they retailed for $120 and I picked them up at Costco for around $70. I went with someone who was a member when I purchased these.

And those glasses will never protect your eyes like they should. Sunglasses are not for looks.

I bought Revos because they are supposed to have some of the best lenses (although they are glass and heavy). Between Bolle And Oakley, I would probably buy Oakley. I think they look better and are better quality. I have heard people complain about the rubber ear pads coming off if left in the car during summer, though. After buying polarized sunglasses, I don't think I will ever go back. They are wonderful.

I'll take glass lenses over plastic any day for general use. I do have two pairs of Rudy Projects I wear for biking and such. Great thing about them is if you scratch the lenses I just pay $15 and send the lenses in. A new pair shows up in the mail shortly after. AFAIK all Rudy Projects have interchangeable lenses.
