Yeah, if it wasn't a work item I wouldn't of paid that much. Now that I have them and they work so well for my need, I'd pay it again.Sweet baby Jesus my man.
In my age I have grown to appreciate nice things, within reason. Through that process of growing, I learned that I had a tendency to "baby" certain items at first, and then gradually relax my approach until I was eventually being "hard on shit." Shotguns, fishing rods, power equipment, vehicles, and of course... sunglasses. So nowadays I have multiple pairs of sunglasses. I have a beater pair of Dewalt sunglasses that I wear everyday at work. They ugly, but they are lightweight, polarized, and comfortable... and only cost about $18. And then I have two pairs of Costas, which only come out when I'm either fishing or going somewhere and I want to look good doing it. The quality of the Costas is really top-notch. I just can't stomach the idea of beating them up as everyday-wear shades.Sweet baby Jesus my man.
I went this route after breaking my last pair of Costas. So far, so good. I hit a deal where I got 3 pairs for less than $75.

Yeah I try that too but I'm still hard on them.
Be it flipping them off my hat, jumping off the boat with them on my head, laying them in my lap in the truck and getting out etc. I have a couple pairs that stay in the boats or in my tackle bag but even then thry see a fair amount of abuse.
I have a pair of Oakleys in the bottom of Lake Norris that STILL stings.
I can tell a huge difference between crap sunglasses and nice ones. I buy them on discount for that reason. Woot has been my go to for the last few pairs.
There's a "brand new" pair of Under Armours laying on the side of a mountain in WV that I lost days after buying while on a pipeline walk. Was like $100 evaporated out of my bank account...I have a pair of Oakleys in the bottom of Lake Norris that STILL stings.
Bass Pro had a deal recently that I took advantage of. Costas were buy-one-get-one 50% off, plus 10% earned in points/cash. So I went shopping for one pair and came home with two. Lol
I lost a pair of Oakley's mushroom hunting last year. I replaced them, but got the leash to go with them this time. 
I can go on! Lmao
I’ve bought and lost two(DOS), F-ing 2 pairs of CLIC’s glasses($45/set) in back to back years while shed hunting. Both were wrapped and clicked together around my neck when I left and when I reached my truck they GONE!
I’m too focused on boring through brush and looking for tines up or curves down to worry about anything else! Lmao

I wear my costas daily, they’re prescription. I wear a leash as well, and use one that floats while on the boat fishing. So far (knock on wood) no issues beating them up or dropping in the lake or woods.
I blame Madtree IPA’s and wearing them on my head too much before that cannonball.I have a pair of Oakleys in the bottom of Lake Norris that STILL stings.
Have a pair of Ray Ban aviator glasses at the bottom of Burr Oak lake lol. Left a new pair on the curb while putting my motorcycle helmet on and road away lol. Also had a six pack of talls roll over on a pair on the front seat of my truck. Yeah I still buy them lol.
Sounds like some of you guys could hide your own Easter eggs...
