I use safety glasses, I Fuuck sunglasses up quickly. I would be wasting money on nice glasses. Same here but I lose as many as I break. I buy them 3 at a time. https://www.amazon.com/3M-Protective-Eyewear-11215-00000-20-Anti-Fog/dp/B007JZ26QA/ref=sr_1_14?crid=VKYW86T9I2IE&keywords=3m+safety+glasses&qid=1560823019&s=gateway&sprefix=3m+safe%2Caps%2C214&sr=8-14

Maui Jim polarized with glass lenses are the best sunglasses I've ever owned... Same here--the best, around $250.

^^^^^^^^^^^This^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ There glass sandwich polorizers are practically scratch proof. Have used them for over 20 years replacing only for changes in prescription. Have many lens colors, styles and sizes.

Every pair of good sunglasses that I spent good money I’ve lost them, usually overboard, within a couple months. When I spend $20 or $30 on sunglasses they never get lost. I’ve got cheap pairs that I bought 20 years ago that are still going strong. I’ve got several pairs in each truck and most are used for emergency backup since they’re scratched up pretty good. I’m probably due to drop another $19.99 at the local True Value store since it’s that time of the year. I tend to wear sunglasses everyday since my eyesight is important to me. I still have 20/20.....20/25 vision but my hearing isn’t the best. Running fire engines, aid cars, medic units, police cars, etc with the window down has destroyed my left ear.....I’m sure all the shooting I’ve done hasn’t helped it.
I might breakdown and get a pair of aviators this time around since my wife says they look good on me. I just have a tough time dropping that kind of money for sunglasses for myself. 😁

Maui Jim in their "Maui Brilliant" material. It'll have similar impact resistance to poly but be significantly better optically.
I've got Costa glass prescription lenses, hate the weight so I never wear them, $400+ down the toilet IMO.
People having their optometrist make them prescription sunglasses can ask for polarized Trivex material. It's optically superior to poly, nearly as impact resistant, and quite a bit lighter weight. There will be fewer color options.

Smith polarized glass lenses. Blue or green for ocean fishing, brown for fly fishing This; been wearing them for 25+ years, Great selections; Great customer service .also. I crushed a lens last year; my fault, no defect. Sent them in ; they said pick out something on their website and take 60% off. Hard to beat that. My current favorite is tortoise Ridgewell w/ brown polarized lens.
