You can check thes glasses to see if they are polarized with 2 pairs. Polarization cancells light waves in one plane. So if you hold one pair in front of the other and rotate one of the pairs 90 degrees, you should not be able to see anything through the glasses. If they say "polarized", and that trick does not work, don't buy them.
I also buy the cheap throw aways. I have ruined too many good pairs.

What are you using them for ie. offshore, inshore, flats, etc..? Buying cheap glasses is a big mistake. Most are optically distorted and might not fully block UV rays. I like glass lenses too.

Deal of a lifetime
You will never find this guy, but I'm driving in North Smithfield last Saturday on Rt102 and there's a guy on the side of the road with a truck and a big sign that says "Polarized Sunglasses". So I stopped because I had lost my last pair chasing my stupid dog thru the woods.
Anyway, their Forster Grants and they and they still ahve the tags and labels on them. $5 bucks a pair 5 for $20. I bought 5 pair and they are great.....

Chilis EyeGear brand run 20 to 30 if you can find them. I get them at north Cove in Old Saybrook CT. Sierra trading post has had some good deals on Bolle and Hobie recently, some with glass lenses.

CAMPMOR had the best price on sunglasses.

YOu need to go into the website and look under Hot deals or something like that.

I wear smiths right now, but my next pair will most likely be Natives. Good lenses, but I absolutely love the frames. Fit perfect and are light. Lifetime guarentee. Even if you break em just send a piece in and they replace em. Reasonable price. Definately at least try em out. Also, ll bean carries some nice glasses including smiths and their warranty is great.
