Got a pair of Oakley Gascan about a month ago and I really like them. I broke my 5yo pair of Revo's that I loved :(

I have a few pairs of $15-$20 polarized pairs from CVS or somewhere. I'm hard on shades so I don't really want to spend any real money.

I had a pretty decent pair of polarized shades that I used for about 5 years or so until I lost them recently. :(

Right now I'm wearing a $10 pair of Kmart shades. If I could afford something better I would get them, but I can't right now.

Not that it helps as you are male, but I have a pair of YSL sunglasses I got from Amazon for around $24. Not knock-offs either.
Besides those, I have some I found at Target. I have to admit though, the more expensive sunglasses I have worn, the much better the quality.

Heh - mine are a pair of $2 Nascar glasses. I don't give a crap about Nascar (don't like, don't hate) but my wife found them cheap somewhere. I really couldn't care less about look, I just need eye protection when I'm in the sun. I also have an old pair of Ray-Bans that are probably almost 25 years old that I wear at times. Unless something happens with my eyes, I'll never spend more then $5 for sunglasses. The Ray-Bans were a gift from my mother when I was a teenager.

Oakley Squarewire 2.0s. Have had the same pair for 6 years now and they still look brand new.

MAUI JIM SPORTS

light weight. great grip. and of course world class optics.

i also have glass maui jims, but i dont see too big of a difference in optical quality, and i much prefer grip and light weight of the maui jim sports for wear
