Ok, I have bad eyes, and it has been recommended that I wear sunglasses (not for stupid poker).

So, I want a decent looking pair for my large noggin, and I don't want to spend a fortune (<$100).


Help me out. I know NOTHING about sunglasses.

check out costco. they get premium sunglasses at a discount because they buy discontinued models. I got a pair of maui jims for 140 recently. a lot depends on what is there when you go.

Maui Jims rock. That $140 pair used to go for $300. I had a pair for 6 years. Nylon frames, nearly scratch-proof polarized lenses, light as heck. I would still have the same pair if I wasn't a big dope. Had 'em in my shirt pocket and picked up a heavy box & crushed them. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

care to elaborate?

spending anymore than $20 on sunglasses seems like madness to some, but it's a good investment.

"But Cro, I always break my sunglasses or lose them!" Well Johnny Boy, you won't lose them if you paid $100+ for them!

Reminds me of a story from Vegas...bro's stag...we go to a gentleman's club, I'm rockin my sunglasses cuz I'm so cool (have been wearing em all day and night thinking I'm hellmuth). I took off my sunglasses to enjoy the view, then we moved to the VIP section, and oops..an hour or two later (who keeps track of time there?!?!?!) i realize my oakleys are gone..oh crap!! i check the table we were sitting at, a couple was sitting there...and BAM oakleys are still there. it was so dark in there that nobody else seen them! And that is why I avoid alcohol at all costs, I'm a lightweight lol

Serengetis or Revos: they are two of the few brands that are "optically perfect".
