Gosh, I can't read, now I won't read 6 pages of stuff. I read 3 pages.
1) Don't let someone else tell you to buy more expensive sunglasses if you loose them. You know how you are.
2) Everyone's faces are different, what works for one won't work for another if you are protecting your eyes. (I use a full wrap around - Old Oakley's M (1999) frame and a newer pair of Maui Jim's (2012/13)---- now each pair I had to go to a store and try on a whole bunch to make sure they didn't let light in from the top, sides nor underneath (every walk on the beach and have full glare coming off white sand, or walk through snow with a full sun?) (The M frames even have several different lens combos, only one works for me!) I was younger and bought Ray Bans 1989 - yep still have them -, the aviator style, those things do not protect my eyes on the sides. They are relegated to the truck, if I happen to leave my other sunglasses, I have a pair I can throw on, better than nothing.
3) I have a knock around pair of Wiley X, had Am$%^& ship about 3 different pair Wiley, went with the ones that fit my face, . I bought those to use while shooting, playing around at the hunting camp, general chore work around our farm, etc. I'm not messing up expensive sunglasses while working! I'll buy a decent pair that is polarized and ballistic type, but I'm not spending a ton when these may be scratched by limbs, wood chips, etc. I think I paid $50. They started messing up after about a year, the area around the frame, they sent me a new pair.
4) I hate glass sunglasses, way too heavy. My nose does like that heaviness. I use polycarb. only. Wear glass sunglasses for hours and poly carb., I can tell a difference in an hour or so.
5) Maui Jim's are the best for me, fishing (fresh and salt), driving, on the beach, etc. I can't tell you to buy them, it's what works for me.
