Bought a pair of Maui Jim volcanoes a while back (black and tortoise) for about 150 bucks a piece. They're no longer in production. any time they pop up on ebay they go anywhere from $400-600. Still my two faves.

I spent $400 on a pair of Prada glasses when I was in my 20s. I lost them in about 3 weeks.

Without fail, if I spend more than $40 on sunglasses, I break them or lose them. At this point, my favorites are the wayfarer style shades from Vans. $12 a piece.


I’m the opposite. I bought cheap CVS sunglasses for years and constantly broke or lost them. I finally bought a nice pair and they’ve been with me for years.


That's me as well. I have 3 pairs of Maui Jims that I have bought over the years (different lens colors for different conditions and sports). Since they are fairly pricey, I take care of them and keep track of them like they are my car keys or phone. I have one pair that I have had at least 10 years.


I bought a new pair this year because I had noticed my pair was showing wear on the frames about the same time I got a sunglass hut coupon in the mail....but I have yet to change them out with the older pair I keep in my car and wear 90% of the time, and they are a pair of Versace I bought around 2010.

I am guessing California is similar....but in Florida, sunglasses are just a necessity 12 months a year.

Never. I wear glasses so that's maybe why.

anyone use "driving glasses" at night? I am not sure what their actual real name is, but those yellow tinted glasses that are supposed to reduce glare? The last couple years I have had some issues with headlight glares and seeing well driving at night. A friend suggested them....did some minimal research and mostly mixed reviews (leaning towards them not working well). I have never wore glasses or contacts, and recently had an eye exam....everything still good, but nighttime driving seems like my vision has diminished.

I’ve got the matte black Justin’s but they have a tiny scratch on the lense right in my line of vision so they’ve taken a backseat to the wayfarers.

HD vision as seen on TV. I got a pair out of drunken curiosity. They worked surprisingly well however I looked like a complete idiot wearing them so the curiosity passed quickly.
