I need a new pair of sunglasses for driving and daily use. I'm not really into cheesy glasses, I'm really looking for something that is polarized, and has a small square black plastic frame. The most important thing is quality, a long lasting pair. What are some good brand names? I'm not a fan of Oakley or Ray-Ban btw.


Thanks for your suggestions!

I've had Bolle for years. Make sure to get the polarized; I think some of there lenses are and some aren't; if they are then there will be a "B" symbol on the left lens and it will say "polarized" right next to it. A decent polarized pair can be had for around $100.

 

Can't go wrong with Maui Jim Polarized Sunglasses

Maui Jim is 2.5x more expensive, but nice...

 

Yeah, ouch on Maui Jim's price. My wife get's 'em. I'm wearing prescription Wiley-X SG1's but if you don't like Oakley (pretty wide range) you're not likely to dig anyone's sporting glasses.

Ray Ban are nice, but you can't beat Maui Jim - best you can get. Other than that, I'd try Serengeti or polarized Oakleys.

 

My Bolle's served me great for 3 years until I sat on them...

Been wearing Native Eyeware "silencers" since then. They are great, love the polarized brown lens. They are kind-of expensive retail price though.

 

I have a pair of Polar Eyes Obispo model. They are awesome and for about fifty bucks, cannot be beat. A lot of people mistake them for Maui Jims.
They feature a light weight nylon frame, wrap around style lens that is a polarized, polycarbonate lense. Very nice. You can check them out at www.polareyes.com
They also come with a lifetime warranty.

 

Now... do you hate all Ray Bans, or are you talking about the Ray Ban Aviators? Because I have a nice pair of Ray Ban, low profile, not bulky at all, very sturdy... amazing for only 120 bucks. Don't know the model name though... I'll see if I can find them.
