Misc Oakley sunglasses: worth the money? - Page 13

Christofire · 01-14-2010, 09:32 AM

Up til this point I've not felt the need to spend the higher prices for Oakleys. My history of sunglasses includes a lot of broken pairs (and not always because of my negligence -- though that has happened). Now, one could argue that Oakleys are better made, and so they aren't as likely to break, thus making them worth the money.

For those who have owned them, what do you say?

Thanks to whomever pointed out the Vault, I got a new pair of glasses I plan to use biking and golfing.

I've owned Spys, Hoven, and Arnettes, the Polarized lenses are totally worth it.

Whoever says if you spend more than $10 on sunglasses you are dumb is an idiot.

I have had several prescription pairs no problems I usually got a new pair before they wore out.

All I will buy are Oakleys. They do tend to get scratched if you don't take care of them. But so will any. That being said, I have a pair I bought over 10 years ago I use while working in the yard. My newer ones, which are 4 years old are still in great shape and I love them.

Would never play more than $20 for sunglasses. Oakley = same cheap plastic everyone else uses.
