Can one still find Oakley frames that are Made in USA? Been a long time since I bought a pair of those.

I also wear progressive bifocals with transition lenses. I have a couple pair of Z87 B.C.s and one pair of nice fitting frames that I got from optometrist "Harley Davidson 720"

Costa Del Mar seems to be the gold standard of sunglasses here. I've never
had a pair, though, due to a propensity to lose or break sunglasses in the surf or salt marsh.

They're for me. Broken the same pair (7years old) plenty of times and sent them to Costa and they repaired them for the cost of shipping. No questions asked. Can't go anywhere without them.

I go to local welding supply house and buy the cheap colored safety glasses.

Look good,clear ,comfortable and cheap. Less than 3bucks

They have some really nice mirrored with frames for 10 bucks but hell,i can loose 2 pair and still have one plus a dollar to buy a yeller dope with.

Recently one of my friends purchased a cool pair of sunglasses. I was extremely inspired by those shades, regardless of whether it is there quality, look, price everything was great. There are many fashion sunglasses retail stores which provides sunglasses at very affordable rates with best quality.You can buy cheap sunglasses online as online shops offer authentic designer sunglasses at a price you'll surely love.
So you're inspired by sunglasses? Doesn't take much huh?

100% Atsuta have treated me well. I got them a few years ago on the cheap, now they bumped the price way up.

I also by the Wayfarer knock offs on eBay for about $8, they work well.

I wear the spy dirks and love them. Had a pair for 2 years then lost them in the ocean. Just ordered another pair for 70 off amazon.

I have a collection. I wore arnette for years. Then wore costa del mar for a few years but heavy on the nose and lenses shatter so easy. Shattered 7 lenses. Have Oakley gas can. I started wearing Typhoon a few years back and are 100$ glasses but have a contingency deal where you join and get 3 pairs shipped for $99 and win money in fishing tournaments. They are really confortable and great lenses.

I have never understood paying so much for sun glasses.

7 years, hell, i do good to keep a pair for 7 days. Years ago i was bush hogging at gatorback. I found a pair of the first gen oakleys with the iridium lenses. I wore them for a lap or two around the field until they got sweaty. Hung them on my shirt. The next lap around i see another pair and think damn, 2 pairs in one day! Then i realized It was the pair i had found earlier and they had caught the blade right acrosd the lens.

Tractor supply, northern tool or the local farmer co-op for me.

It is some kind of law that the less I pay the longer I can keep them.

I wait until they go on sale at Harbor freight for $1 and stock up. In an emergency I pay the normal $2 price for maybe 2 pairs. No sense buying more expensive ones because they just get ruined too fast.
