sunglasses, where to buy

[davemchine]

I had a decent pair of sunglasses and they were destroyed by the kids. So, where can I buy a decent but affordable pair of sunglasses? No more than $50 tops. Thanks.

I have purchased from here, and have been quite satisfied. http://www.selfdefensearmory.com/

I find the Timberland ones adequate and low priced http://www.ebay.com/sch/Sunglasses-Fashi...?_from=R40&_nkw=timberland+sunglasses&_sop=15

I have a pair that I purchased at Big-5 Sports for $20 on sale that I've come to love. They're made by Easton.

"Quality sunglasses" is usually an oxymoron, and even when it's not, sunglasses are ridiculously over priced.

I've resigned myself to "decent". As long as the lenses will properly filter UV, I welcome the Knock-Off overlords.

Don't get caught up in the marketing hype around sunglasses. Even the most ridiculously expensive shades cost no more than $10 to produce, unless they use prescription optics.

ebay is good as well as 1sale a day

I showed my wife all of those options and she selected two Timberland models and I bought them both. Thank you for all the good advice!

We're going to to Maui Jim's (in Maui) next month. Send me the $50, and we'll pick you up a real decent pair of sunglasses...
or have a couple of drinks in your honor... and send pictures if we can't find any for you.
Either way, you'll get your money's worth. Heck, Maui Jim even hangs w/ the latest Mac OS...


BTW, FWIW, the last guy got some real nice pictures, and Baby Buzz kept the sunglasses... (until we got back home)


(Lahaina post office is just a couple of blocks from the original Lahaina Maui Jim outlet.)


and since Mrs. Buzz and I wear prescription sunglasses, the odds may be better for you this time around...
