Neat, maybe the lightness of carbon fiber will solve my problem with being Asian; Ray-Bans are so heavy they keep sliding down my nose.

i got a pair of sunglasses from Sunglass Hut in the local mall, and i had it in its case for like a year, and i opened the case to take them out when summer came, and both arms fell off, broken at the same place. Evidently the plastic actually broke down over time and they fell apart. I only owned them for maybe 3 years. Very strange.
Lousy $25 shades!!!

I've owned my pair of Raybans for over four years now and I still wear them daily. I guess if anything ever does go wrong I can try some of these other companies.

I only wear Persols (13 pairs, not counting the the 4 that I gave to family members).

Whether or not they're the best I don't know.  However, American Optical used to make microscopes years ago.  They still make sunglasses, and it's possible to order them with GLASS lenses, either polarized or not.  I have/had a pair of polarized glass lens sunglasses from them.  I loved them.  Optics are excellent.  Then they were lost somewhere in the house by my family, a little over a year ago.  Yeah.... that's really true.....
 
Anyway, although they're not dirt cheap, they're certainly less expensive than many of the boutique brands mentioned.

Does anyone have a recommendation for "mowing" sunglasses? Sometimes when I am mowing, it is hard to see where I just cut because of the angle of the sun. Right now I am using polarized black lenses. Is there a lens color or coating that makes a difference? :cool: :cool: :cool:
