[Closed] Sunglasses - how much do you pay?

rascal · 2021-07-27T23:20:15Z

Following on from recent PSA for 50% off at Vision Express. Got me thinking about sunglasses. I don’t tend to spend a lot on them as I either lose them, (mostly) scratch them or break them so getting a nice/expensive pair seems like a false economy. However I am slightly tempted to get a nice pair of Oakleys as I’ve never had a pair and if I was ever to get some then half price is as good a reason as any. These will not be for biking as I have some cut-price Adidas Evil Eyes for that. Are Oakleys really that much ‘better’ than cheaper brands or is it all just marketing that drives the lure? Are the optics that much clearer? I like Bloc sunnies as they fit me well and look good but nowhere near the price of Oakleys. Just wonder if I’ll be slightly underwhelmed by them even at half price, which are still nearly twice the price of the Blocs I like - was thinking of Flakjackets FWIW…

I thought I had an Oakley problem, but I've never got as far as having a cabinet

@Houns do you still have the Atomic Orange Radars?

I sold mine years ago would like another pair.
