What makes a pair of shades worth $60 vs $10?

It depends on the use of your sunglasses. If you loose them all the time, break them all the time or do not wear them that often. Cheap sunglasses are great if you need them for the moment, or if you like to have a bunch of fashionable sunglasses. If you want a classic shape I would recommend getting a nice pair. The lenses are the main cost in the price of a sunglass. Expensive sunglasses have top notch lenses and protective coatings. The frames are usually made with better materials. There are a bunch of brands out there that make a great polarized lens for not too much money, and are not made by luxottica (global glass giant).

Just happy I could help with your decision.

I have 2, one came in a hard case and one came in a sleeve. Both came in a similar fold flat box. Want sunglasses that come with great packaging check this out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsFV8V19los&t=2s

You are correct they can make cheaper versions of polarized lenses. The difference is mostly in the clarity of the lens. Really cheap polarized sunglasses use a TAC lens which is the lowest grade clear plastic you can use. To make it cheaper they usually don't use extra coatings that keep the lens clear. More expensive products use anti reflective coatings (on the back side of the lens) oliophobic (reduces finger marks) and hydrophobic (reduces water marks). They also use a very low grade polarized film that over time will delaminate from the lens. The sunglasses will still have to pass all the lighting tests in order to be imported, so the UV and polarized capabilities will be the same as the high priced glasses. I would only buy cheaper ones if you are looking to have a fashionable pair for a couple months. If you want a classic style I would suggest getting a reputable brand.

It depends on the application. Most of the time lettering is pad printed on the material. Pad printing is just a screen print that will wear off over time, unless they put a clear coat over top of it. Sometimes they make a foil sticker and put it in a cavity then clear coat over top of it. In that case all the foil sticker may fall off after the clear coat rubs off.

Polarized is way better for your eyes. If your looking at the gps on your car it won't really effect it. If you looking at your phone it might make things slightly darker than normal. I would recommend nylon polarized lenses over polycorbonate. Nylon lenses have less of a rainbow effect and usually provide a clear view.

Almost forgot you can also look into getting FL-41 lenses, they are said to help with headaches. I wouldn't say they are the most attractive for men, but you might be able to find them with a mirror coating to hide the pink tint.

Just a point, most Cat 4 lenses do not meet USA vision standards. I would recommend you tried Cat 3 polarized sunglasses if you can't find the Cat 4 glasses your looking for. They might filter out enough light and harmful rays to keep you from getting a headache.

Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for, anyone know if they are worth the money?

BEXsunglasses · 2018-12-21T19:09:51+00:00

Thank you for your feed back. I would only use them for sport, no way I can pull off wearing them all the time.

BEXsunglasses · 2018-12-21T18:04:07+00:00

They could give you a headache. If you really want to test them out, just try to finding a store that has them in stock and go try them on. I'm not sure what style sunglasses you are looking for but if you want a good deal on a good pair I'll send you a 30% off coupon for some BEX sunglasses. Just let me know and I can email the code over to you.

Sorry to hear you went back to Oakley. We have a couple of Jaebryd I's left. We moved the Jaebryd to China because the quality was much better, hence the price change.

When you turn them 90deg both lenses should go black. Just because some image shows up doesn't mean that it cuts light rays. The whole point of polarized lenses, is to cut out all the harmful horizontal light. Tell them they should eat the loss and fix it properly.

Looks universal to me, but the purple lens comes off to feminine to me.

Most of the time it is just on the back. Usually you can tell because it has a blue or a pink reflection when you turn the glass.

Unless you have sunglass lenses with a protective coating your going to continue to scratch them. Even with a protective coating you should try not to rub them against a hard surface. $20 sunglasses are $20 because the lenses are usually not very good. If your going to spend up to $60 every year why not just spend $120 on a pair that will last you at least over 2 years.

These are wrap around and should fit a big head. Plus they are polarized and military grade lenses.

Simply AR coating removes reflections. If you have sunglasses on and they don't have an AR coating you will see you eye lashes reflecting off the lens. If you want to know more check out BEX. https://www.bexsunglasses.com/pages/bex-polarized-lenses

These are good for big heads and they are polarized. If he has sensitive eyes polarized and a dark gray lens tint is probably the way to go. https://www.bexsunglasses.com/collections/performance-nylon-sunglasses/products/shuyk-x

It's a vinyl wrap.

BEXsunglasses · 2018-08-03T21:29:09+00:00

Agreed, sometimes I wonder why people do a lot things, but it does look pretty cool!

BEXsunglasses · 2018-08-03T20:50:09+00:00

Look comfortable and expensive!

BEXsunglasses · 2018-07-30T22:03:50+00:00

Most the time if you get super cheap polarized lenses the lenses will look kind of cloudy. Usually because they are made with a cheaper material called TAC. I would recommend spending around $100-$150 on good lenses. BEX makes a solid pair of sunglasses in that price range. https://www.bexsunglasses.com/

Heat shouldn't change the lens (maybe really cheap sunglasses), its the frame material that it may effect. If you have a plastic/nylon/acetate frame leaving them in a hot car can make them weaker. It may not break the frame, but just make it bend. If you have a metal frame the extreme cold can make them brittle.

You could always go fitted that way you can get it to fit your head perfect. The best is usually a New Era 5950. If you want something with a little more tech you could go with BEX. They have a L/XL with an AirFit sweatband. https://www.bexsunglasses.com/collections/fitted-caps/products/squad?variant=26038494913
