What is the most you spent on sunglasses?

[BudAshes]

Definitely under 200 bucks. I usually get some polarized oakleys.

$350 on some oakleys, wore em for 3-4 years then left em at a park and lost em, now i buy cheap $10-20 ones and they are just as good as far as optical quality goes, and are even polarized. Cheap sunglasses have come a long way in the last 10-15 years.

My problem with cheap ones is they break incredibly easily. I accidentally threw my oakleys out the window while I was driving down my road and a grading tractor ran over them. I went back, found all the pieces and snapped them back together and they were good to go. Things are basically indestructible. Only thing that kills them are the lenses get scratched up eventually but I just buy replacements when they are on sale.

I've sat on enough Oakley wires to know that this is not true.

$250 on vacation because the surf grabbed the pair I was wearing. Wasn't about to suffer 6 days on the beach without good polarized glasses.
Spend twice as much as I should have, but that's the penalty for losing my shades where I did.

Yeah I wouldn't include those kind. I'm talking the plastic snap apart and back together kind. Example would be the five squared. Guaranty you can't break those by sitting or even stomping on them.

I have some $150 ones my wife bought me - but I recently bought a second pair: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06X1F4PS7/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

While they're more plastic-feeling, they are more comfortable and shade better IMO.

About $10 but my vision insurance is actually really good and cover two pairs so I get a nice pair of sunglasses as one of them.

$145 on my latest Warby Parkers.

I am a man of taste and quality -- I will not apologies for that.

gf in 96 wanted rodman oakleys
i got her legit ones
they weren rodman ones in name but, he rocked them..
i got some foakleys at the beach that looked real similar.
then in 2002 i found a pair of cycling glasses, dropped in lenox ma
name began with an s.
also yellow lenses, i loved them.
i saw maureen stapleton get into a red geo tracker after i found them, this is before she passed
i knew her as the johnny dangerously lady
outside richard simmons and arlo guthrie, she was the biggest celeb i ever see irl in an impromptu setting
i had those glasses 3 years, wore them to rockin roller coaster at disney orlando
on one of the loops they came off, so their fate was also..unknown to me.
i have prescription yellow lensed glasses now, since my vision is highly impaired, i beleive i will have these for some time to come.
sunglasses are like the devil, u can catch them but as serling said, u cannot hold them long.
