Request: Good Source for Cheap Light Polarized Sunglasses

Post by jakeischillin »

My dog devoured an old set of Oakleys I ride and run with. I'm looking for some cheap replacements with minimal distortion. Any suggestions?

Get LASIK. I spent 3500 dollars on my eyes and got the glasses for free.

If you have a buddy in the military, get him to pick up some Oakleys for you through this website. Less than half price, I think. Where I got mine.

Nice... Too bad the only active guys I know are out of state or deployed.

Walmart has some cheap ok polarized sunglasses. Check them out in sporting goods. Strike King are the ones I like.

Me gusta Bolle's...then again, I've had mine for several years (like over 4). Shit may have changed.

I don't think I got mine in the sporting goods section, but I also like the cheap Walmart glasses.

Ended up with these:

Obviously cheap, they stay on my face while running / biking, minimal distortion, and I don't give a shit if I mess them up. Good buy.

Jake, how did these hold up?
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.
