I don't own a pair of sunglasses. It's hard to find a pair that fit me well. On top of that, if I did have them/wear them, I'd likely become raccoon eyes and I'd rather that not happen.

I kind of have raccoon eyes, but I really don't care. I can't stand going outside without sunglasses. I guess I just have really sensitive eyes. I even wear them when it is cloudy.

Ah... I work 4 hours a week outdoors in the sun, and have developed racoon eyes. The skin tone transition is very subtle right now, but summer just started. On the other hand, the rims/frame of the glasses (part that goes to ears) has left a nice, white stripe on my face.

This thread was randomly bumped after 3 months by a new member's first post? WTF? But hey, what the hell, I'll change my answer from three months ago. In addition to the shitty polarized pairs I have from CVS (for when I feel like being able to just throw my shades around), I bought a nice pair of Revo's. Nice glass lenses, great polarization. I love 'em.

Oakley wire Big Squares. Love the amber polarized lenses. Not sure I would have paid $250 retail for them, but $90 was well worth it.

Have to say that I love mine. I need to get back and have a set of the "Drivewear" lenses made too since I miss the polarization while driving.

i wear the cheapest plastic ones i can find in a style i like at the local gas stations. ive lost oakleys and ray bans off my motorcycle before, never lost a pair of the cheapos. i also had a beetle hit my wayfarers and shatter the lens, that sucked.

I have a cheap pair of nautica sunglasses that I picked up for $15. They weigh almost nothing, are comfortable and since they're only $15, I don't really care if they break. (Side note: I have a bad habit of destroying sunglasses)

Actually, I bought 2 pairs because I liked them that much. One has black lenses and the other has the amber lenses.

$15 100%UV protection pair from Target. I'm rough on sunglasses and go through about 3 pairs a year, so that's why I buy the cheapies.

Oakleys got stolen because I left them in a bag when I was flying. So some crappy knock offs that I paid 5 dollars for now.
