What sunglasses do you wear?

I have worn Maui Jims Flexon sunglasses for the last five years. I just broke my second pair. The nose bridge keeps breaking at the weld. What recomendations for quality sunglasses would you suggest?

I've got Maui Jims which I use as kind of goggles when I play polo and other sports... Love the tight fit to my face.

I have a pair of polarised Ray-Bans for everyday wear and a pair of brown lens, gold framed Ralph Lauren ones for when I'm suited and booted.

I wear Oakley's and they've been solid. Even took a soccer ball to the face and just popped the lens back in and good to go.

Don't wear any usually. Sometimes when driving, so whatever is in the glovebox. Usually Harley-Davidson (Ray Ban) or Giorgio Armani.

I wanted Oakley, but one of my eyes is too bad for the curved lenses of Oakley, I need a pretty flat lens. Always wore Oakley when I wore contacts, They were great for bicycling.

Oh, my spectacles are Oakley, though. Ratchet 4.0. Titanium frames in polished chocolate. Two years of use and the arms do show some wear.

The cheapest ones I can find. I'll loose 8-10 pairs a year. Hubby has worn the same pair of oakleys for 20 years. And "beach readers" are a plus when I can find them!
