The knockaround premiums are pretty similar the arms are just thicker on fort knocks. Look at stun sunglasses as well as the ec ones

Stun sunglasses wayfarers are under $20 and have really reflective lenses. The frames are pretty durable too although the lenses can smudge if you put your hands on them for a long period of time.

pretty much. except i would say holbrooks, since i have a bigger face, I just picked up another pair and lenses today and i couldnt be happier. I love that frame.


but if you need to keep it cheap check out knockaround. the best sunglasses for that price.

drop the bank and get some polarized Ray-Bans. they'll last forever and are superior quality. when it comes to sunglasses, you get what you pay for.

In another sunglasses thread someone posted a link to a website that all their glasses were like $50 and were made in the Smith factory or by Smith. Any ideas?
