What sunglass brands do you recommend for its quality?
-
Warby Parker glasses hold up well, are reasonably priced and aren’t owned by Luxottica
-
The non Luxottica link is my main driver of all things glasses
-
Sadly only US

I worked in a Costa del Mar warehouse once. The generic shades were $20, and right next to the brand name shades ($200). The brand name might have had some invisible enhancement, but they looked exactly the same to me besides the logo embossed into them. Both were polarized and mirrored exactly the same way.
What I'm saying is this: buy cheap generic ones. If you must have that logo, glue one on or something. I don't understand brand worship.

Blenders

I've got Ray-Bans so I can't help much there, I used to wear Solano before that
-
Quay is an Australian brand that frequently has buy one get one sales. They deliver pretty quickly as well.
-
Any polarised ones will do the job. No need to buy a brand. I've never spent more than 10 quid on sunglasses and they all worked perfectly.
-
I got some Goodrs and Knockarounds. And Knockarounds were better for not sliding down. I live in a tropical place and am always sweating. If you have the money, though, i’d get Tifosi.
-
Look for safety glasses. Some come with polarized or photochromic lenses too.
Maybe not the most stylish, but they work, and are legit safety glasses so they're far more durable (and protective) than Luxottica sunglasses. I've had a few that basically look like regular sport sunglasses.

Until you get a pounding headache from the two lenses being different levels of tint.
That happened to me.

I was gonna say pit vipers but they’re American.
You should get some vipes anyway, they make a safety rated ballistic pair.
Once I had a pair bought from someone on eBay break on me and they just wanted to confirm there was a joke written on the frame before sending a replacement pair for free. I think I had to pay shipping or something but standing behind an eBay purchase from a third party is cool.

We also have them in NL

Oh i just looked where the online shop shipes to

I've only bought ic! Berlin and Mykita the last 3 pairs of sunglasses (both are German companies). They both use these tensioned metal hinges instead of screws, which makes them hold up really well. I consider them both BIFL brands that are infinitely better than that luxotica crap.
Highly recommended!

Meaning the arms can spring out by themselve?
Having a hard time understand that.
