      Some of those look really nice, do you have any personal experience with them?

        I have a pair and been wearing them for almost 2 years. They're actually really nice for the price and have held up very well. No chipping or signs of any wear at all tbh. No glare in the sun and no weird fish eye or other distortion when looking around with them on.

        Not sure if it comes with all their models but the pair I have came with a hard case, not just a cloth pouch

          Found a coupon code online for any xx2i optics. 40% off and it works.

            I ordered a pair of these, kinda wish I found that 40% coupon earlier but I'll give these a go and if they suck I'll try the xx2i. Thanks for the heads up!

                I bought some KD's for like $10 shipped off eBay. They look kind of like wayfarers, or persol 649 but smaller frames/lens. No idea what the quality or fitment will be like though. Anyone got KD's?

                This. I have genuine wayfarers and replica wayfarers and 9/10 times I'll wear the cheap replicas because I'm scared of breaking, or losing the genuine ones.

                  I lose/break mine all the time so my new go to for cheap backup shades is Party Shades(partyshades.com). plastic from china but you can snap in different lenses and arms and they're literally indestructible.
                  Really just a fan of the dudes growing the brand as I met them at a trade show I worked at and they were hammered and giving away free shit. Not a great product but you cant break em and if you lose em they're only like $25
                  They make them in wayfarer and aviator styles

                    Go to your local sporting goods store and brose their section on sunglasses. Where I am from we have something called bass pro shop and cabellas which are outdoorsy spoorting goods stores & they have amazing selection of cheap throw around sunglasses. I dont step into academy or gander mountain much so I cant say for certain if they have a good selection. Anyways, point being, check local sporting goods stores.

                      Find polarized glasses that fit well and feel good. That suncloud line I rep'd was fine, they're a Smith subsidiary. I know for a fact that, at least with the plastic lens stuff, Smith has more into a pair of $120 sunglasses in the packaging (box, care card, cleaning cloth and sticker) than they do in the actual "product."

                        This is my method for getting cheap(almost free) genuine Ray Ban Wayfarers, or Persol etc.

                        1. Find a friend, spouse etc with bad eye sight.
                        2. Make sure they have good health insurance that covers glasses.
                        3. Make them get the frames you like.
                        4. Wait a year. Now it's time for their insurance to pay for them to get another pair of glasses.
                        5. Take their old frames and put in non prescription lenses.
                        6. Look baller at a fraction of the cost.

                          Suncloud Optics sets the standard for high performance sunglasses. Suncloud innovations include the patented Regulator lens ventilation system, distortion-free Tapered Lens Technology, and the versatility of the Slider Series.


                          Pretty good quality for around $50, look on Amazon.

                            I found genuine Ray Ban classic Wayfarers with polarized lenses for $76 with tax at nordstrom rack. I'd check there, they have really good deals sometimes.

                              That is real good. They're like $180+ over here.
