    I disagree with regards to going cheap.

    I have used VERY expensive $300.00, which are GREAT, until they blow off your face........Medium.........$150 - 200......Really no different than 300 dollars, but still steep...........and I lost those also.

    I've also used $75 - 100 buck glasses...........and Finally I've used wally world Strike King 14 dollar specials.........

    Personally, the 14 buck glasses are pretty much as good as the 200 buck glasses, and probably as good as the 300 buck ones...........

    I'd save my money on the sunglasses and get something else............

    Spending more than say 75 - 100 bucks really does not buy you that much more.

    BTW......there's not a such thing as "stronger polarization". You can make them darker, but once a lense is polarized, the level is pretty much the same regardless of who makes it.........Now, where you get some "better" quality, is in the quality of the medium that the polarization is being applied to.........Better Lexan lenses, or better polycarbonate, or even glass, will lead to a better quality, but that is about it..........

    My 20 dollar sunglasses will see the beds in the spring just as good as your 300 dollar sunglasses.......

    Later,
