Sunglasses recomendation. (Read 498 times)

    I have always purchased the cheap drugstore kind because I tend to lose them very quickly. Recently I have been told that the UV protective coating on cheap sunglasses is just sprayed on and comes off easily with touching or cleaning the lens, and was advised to pay $150-$200 for "proper" sunglasses, brand name like Rayban or Maui Jim or Oakley. Local running store carries some $40-$60 pairs, no idea if these are more like the good ones or the cheap ones. Tried to research on the internet, mostly advertisements or articles on dangers of UV and what colour lenses best suit different applications, nothing on testing to see which work best for a decent price. Anyone knowledgeable in this subject? Thanks, Simon.
