I like Oakleys, and their polarized lenses have been great for me.

I have to admit I really like the Maui Jim's I have now. I also will admit I did not buy them, they were give to me by my step-son, because they didn't fit him well. I had stopped buying expensive sunglasses years ago. I used to loose, sit on or find other ways to break them. These have really clear lenses and after over a year of constant use, only the frame black mate finish is coming off in areas showing the more glossy black actual plastic material of the frames.

I had a pair of Maui Jim's. Really liked them. But dropped them on a tile floor. Had another Maui Jim and dropped them over board. Too much $$$ lost.
Got a pair of Smith. Liked them better that the Maui. They had air bladders in the ear pieces so they'd float. Walked off and left them on a dock. More $$ wasted.
Using a Costco Kirkland pair now. Nice pair and I can afford to lose them. But of coarse I've had them for several years. Mike
