How dark are the lenses on Knockarounds? If someone is looking at you can they see your eyes?

EC Headwear is super good quality for the price, but atleast for the pair I have I've found that the lenses are almost too dark, like only useable for skiing on super sunny days. Not exactly a bad thing though.

My all time favorite glasses are these:
http://www.aggressivemall.com/aMALL-XD-Party-Shades-BLACKOUT-p/am-partyshade-xd-blk.htm

Reason- lens is just about perfect, but the joints that hold the arms are all plastic. So since I only ski in shades, whenever I slam my face and these bad boys take a hit, the arms come right off. But since it's all plastic, you just snap the arms right back in! Lasts a lifetime.

go into sunglass hut/solarium/whatever brand sunglass store your mall has. take whatever pair you want. leave.

The people they hire to staff those places are too self-absorbed to actually do their job, and sunglasses don't have sensors on them.

aaaaaaand douchebag detected. You are now the second person today I have recommended suicide to. Seriously, consider it. The world would definitely be better without your low-life self in it. 0/10

I've definitely gotten a few good pairs for like $5 just by walking around downtown and going into little stores. I found some sick wayfarers at a place called Mexicalli Blues a couple months ago.

never ever suggest suicide to anybody you ass. some people already suffer from depression and think about killing themselves on a daily basis, its not a joking manner.

As to my suggestion to rob sunglass hut, my insincerity in that idea was clearly communicated poorly, I would never seriously condone theft, even of a place that sells 50$ rebranded sunglasses for 300-500 dollars.

on a serious note, there's no such thing as good sunglasses for under 20$ unless you buy used. you could search through the buy/sell forum on sites like superfuture or hypebeast, or find used pairs of glasses with decent lenses in them on ebay for 50$ish if you look hard

I was joking? One of the biggest problems in this world is overpopulation. Another one of the biggest problems is lack of integrity (stealing). Solve two problems with one jump. FYI, dictionary.com might be able to help you with "manner" and "matter" if you decide to stay alive.

I woke up this morning checked my phone where i had a couple emails saying "this is the confirmation for your purchase" I didn't know WTF happened so I opened my computer and this thread was up. It turns out that I got drunk last night, cruised NS found this thread and bought a bunch of sunglasses with my credit card. Not only is NS taking my time but it is now also taking my money...
