Whatever I can get at Target that are polarized and $20 or less. I tend to wear out items like sunglasses and earbuds fairly easily, so I don't like to spend much on them.

Thought about that, but I cracked both lenses and one of the arms. The glasses were also over 7 years old. Costa would probably charge me almost full price for that kind of damage.

I ALWAYS send mine in and it is never more costly than buying a brand new pair. Even with multiple lenses and arms broken. Its worth the 5 bucks to send them in and see what they offer. You have nothing to lose(well except the 5 bucks).

Maui Jim's are great, but to expensive for my blood.
I was looking at pair called Reflectors...I think that was name. I can't find on Google for some reason. So it must not be the name, but that has to be close.
Anyway, they looked and felt great. They have a life time guarantee on them as well. They even replace a lost pair one time. But you can rip them half, crush with hammer, do whatever you like to them and they'll replace.
They are moderately priced too. Anywhere from $60 to $120ish.
I'll be sure to update if I figure out the name...kind of a worthless post without that part...sorry

Re: Just broke my Costa Brines...what sunglasses are your favorites?.
I have a pair of Fisch. Had an arm broken and a crack across one lens. Sent them in and paid the $11.95 or so handling fee. I expected them to charge me $60 for the lens. Instead, they just sent a brand new pair.
I've never had an issue with Costa's customer service, and I've been wearing and breaking their sunglasses for more than a decade.

Re: Just broke my Costa Brines...what sunglasses are your favorites?.
I found some Maui Jim's in the ocean and wore them until they disintegrated. Absolutely loved them. Before that I was the $10 Walgreen's pair guy. That said I still couldn't get myself to spring for $200 MJs so I found a pretty comparable pair from Margaritaville for $80. I am about 6 months in so the verdict is still out but so far I am very happy with them. Never had a pair of Costa's.

Classic Ray Ban aviators for this guy.
Straight pimpin', all you clowns slippin'. Wearing Costas when you're not on the water makes you look chumpish.

I like those. I have a pair similar to this with the checker stuff inside but the frame is not as wide and all black on the outside.
There is also a pair like this but instead of being all black the inside of the frames are white. I can't find the but they are pretty sweet...
Ray Bans are the Nautica or Chaps of the sun glasses world. Trendy and available b/c they're cheap. Soon to be sold at your local Wal-Marts. Keep those aviators on you peasant.Originally posted by DefNotPanHandler2007:

Dollar Tree, straight off the rack just like my reading glasses.
Due to the excessive and oppressive tax rates of this country and state, they cost me $1.08.

Guaranteed for life no matter what the damage or how it happened.
If lost they will replace them with a new pair, one time only...hell yes!
They float...hell yes again!
Those three things are HUGE if you wear your shades and are outdoors as much as I am. You have to appreciate what they are doing.
Cost are $99 and up depending on what you get. They are doing it right.
Found more on Reflekts...I'm determined for someone join the band wagon with me.

I wear the cheap ones, between $5 and $20, depending on where I am when I need them. Only started wearing sunglasses for the first time in the last year or so.
I'm thinking in investing in something a little better, but only on the assumption that they would scratch a little less easily, and clean up a little better/easier.
Is that a false hope? I don't care for the looks of them really, just in them holding up a little better longer.
That said, I'm not spending $100+ in any event. Is spending $50-60 really going to get you anything better than $20 at Walgreens?

A.) I'm 36 with 3 kids, I'm one life cycle away from being your dad, just substitute Tommy Bahamas with Ralph Lauren, Lacoste or Vineyard Vines attire. The filthy bottom of my shoes would never come near my craft beer selections cause I sip from fine glassware that's chilled. If I was cool, young and good looking like Bav, Persol would be a great choice (actually might buy their opticals to replace my Pradas).Originally posted by LBoogie28:

B.) Don't get in the way of a good troll conversation LBoogie, I'm only partially joking around
