I'm very lucky if a pair lasts me 6 months, therefore I just buy two el cheapo pair every year. confused

It depends on the activity but I wear my nice ones for basically everything. Really only don't wear them for basketball or swimming. You also have to remember that the lenses and frames themselves are made of much stronger material than cheap ones and are much less likely to break.
Frames are more flexible yet stronger and this about the lenses from the Ray-Bans web site - "All the sun lenses through an advanced chemical hardening process, can withstand the Drop Ball test – a 5/8 inch steel ball dropped onto the lens from a height of 50 inches. From the frames to the lenses, the Carbon Fibre’s can hold up to all the drops, squashes and wear you’ll put them through."
