Sunglasses

[willy]

Twenty eight years ago I competed in what was called PPC shooting and later in I.P.S.C shooting. I bought myself a pair of high end Ray Bans that change color based on light frequency and intensity.
28 years ago, they have been worn for thousands of hours shooting driving and especially hunting and have saved my eyes more than a few times from tips of branches, flying debris etc, and they are still like new, accept the plastic that goes around the flex wire around the ears has cracked and I will probably get them redone soon.
When my wife and I went to Key West five years ago now I splurged and bought a nice pair of Cost Del Mar's on sale but still around 180 bucks I think. I use them constantly for anything around the water and somethimes just for driving. Still like new, salt water smeared on them, dropped in the boat and truck etc.
I also buy cheaper stuff once in awhile to keep an extra pair around and for occassional use and they never last more than a couple of months without getting scratched to the point that they will fatigue my eyes if I wear them to long.
100 bucks for Ray Bans 28 years ago, and more recently 200 bucks or so for the Costa's. Pretty d@mn good investment for the safety of your eyes. I wish other things I have bought over the years held up that well ;)
