I have a pair of $3.99 KB's that I've had for years. Work fine.
Inexpensive 'sunglasses' don't block UV rays, but they're real effective at dilating your pupils and allowing more of the UV rays they don't block in to do damage to your eyes. Not good.

According to my dealer I bought my Maui Jims from....you can get the glass Maui Lense "ballistic coated" which would mean the glass would not shatter when hit with a rock or what not. I belive he said you send the glasses in to Maui Jim's and it is like $100-$200. He said he had his coated and wears them on his Busa. I was sold on hearing stories of Maui's Customer service. Have not yet inquired about getting that coating on there though....or to know if it is true

I require prescription sunglasses, and they don't run $350!! Assuming you're 20/20, I'd be considering $20 shades in the future. Not to tell you have to spend your money, but I can think of better ways to part with $350, particularly if they are garbage quality sunglasses.

You gotta be kidding me, even $100 is too much to pay for a name on a pair of sunglasses. I thought people only wasted that much money on way overpriced tennis shoes.

Haha, so I've bought 4 pairs of FG Ironman's just in the last 6 months since I broke my Maui Jim's.
My Revo's lasted 4 years. My MJ's will do at least that. So you see, the cost is the same, but you get superior optical quality, 100% UV protection and polarization which helps me ride longer regardless of the concerns people have of not being able to see water on the road.
