Really? Oakley does update their styles you know.
I was referring to the sunglasses in the photo, not oakleys in general.

Ray Bans for life.

The plastic black kind.

I get them from Costco when I need new ones. Usually around $80.

polarized lenses, mostly <$20 pairs. They work so I can't quite get myself to spend $100+ for Oakleys or Ray Bans.

Bringing this back to life because I need a recommendation. I lost my old sunglasses and I need a new pair. I've always used cheap-o walmart sunglasses and Im wondering if I should upgrade or just keep getting the cheap ones.

What does ATOT recommend? I'd like to stay 50$ or less, and I dont like aviators.

My transition eyeglasses. I have dropped them countless times and there are a bunch of scratches on the lenses. I need new ones, thanks for reminding me.

maui jims for life...

nothing else, not even oakley comes close to the quality of their lenses or their customer service

I agree. When I could wear sunglasses, I wore Maui Jims. "Air Conditioning for the Eyes."
They do offer some of their frames with prescription lenses, just none that actually fit my face. Not sure if they offer bifocal lenses or not...which I have to have.
