Its all I wear. Make sure you  get polarized ones otherwise they aren't worth a damn.

OC swap meet... $5-7 a pair, I normally buy 3 at a time. Better than $200 at a time when you lose them or break them at the same rate. However I do have one nice "going out" pair of sunglasses that I've had for like 10 years, and I yet to go buy lenses for them. Nope don't make them any more.

Sorry totally off topic and not what you were looking for... I should probably have just not replied, but too late now. Hahaha

Thanks B-Rad... Have a safe trip.

75 bucks is actually a cheap price for a decent pair of polarized glasses I'm lucky enough to get Oakley glasses at 50% off due to my brotha from another mothers discount so I spend about 100 bucks on glasses that usually run 200-220. I think polarized is the only way to go u only get one pair of peepers. Lol... those hoven's are nice looking glasses BTW

I have an old pair that are now in my garage. I use them as safety glasses.

The paint peeled off the frames after a short time. I'm not a fan. I prefer Spy or Von Zipper. A little more than Hoven, but much better quality.

Only problem I ever had with Spy is a screw falling out. Took them to LensCrafters or something in HB and they put a screw in at no charge.

I know they are kinda cheese ball to some and my friends bag on me, but I love those sunglasses floating straps. I bought a pair at the river last summer and haven't lost or broken a pair of shades at the river since.

Use to break or lose every pair of good sun glasses I ever got until I came up with one rule! Never fold them and they always stay on my hat! Now I always buy Oakley !! They just fit my face better than anything else!!

Try these folks- anytime I have a oooops with mine- Send them in and for $30.00 bucks I get a brand new set- Funny though I've only had to do this 2 times the last 4 years.  :P
Use to do it with Oakley's but unless they have changed their policy recently they no longer warranty broken units-

That's all I've owned for the last three yeaes glen and lost a pair while driving stuck to the headers found them after a few miles running up river went to wipe the boat down and they just had a small scuff mark from the heat. And it landed in the number one cylinder of my header 👍. Good thing is I can still take em back to tillys and return em

They get my vote also. Had the same pair for 2 years, with countless river trips, plenty of offshore fishing trips and a 4 month deployment to Belize.
