Oakley Dispatch II

They are all plastic so they kind of feel cheap, but they are solid. I love them. They are pretty durable and dope too.

Knockarounds and holbrooks. I've been looking at oakley deviations though for an aviator style type of sunglasses.

Amazing quality? Have you ever owned a pair of quality sunglasses? Most knockarounds aren't even polarized. And about them being unique...They're all essentially knock-offs of RayBans' Wayfarers, except you can change the colors

Knockarounds do not have anywhere near amazing quality and are the furthest thing from unique. There are hundreds of brands that produce the same exact glasses.

I'm a big of my Peppers. Nice design, pretty sturdy, and I get UVA/UVB protection. Picked 'em up at REI for like $17. Not a single complaint.

I lose or break sunglasses way too often to justify buying an expensive pair. Thrift shop, lost in founds, or local company (though, unfortunately, the sunglasses they buy probably use child labor) are the more economical way to go.

I would kill though for a pair of nice sunglasses. I would probably hold onto them a lot longer too.

ok yeah they're inexpensive. I just thought it was an accepted fact that they are cheap and have one of the most basic styles for sunglasses. Damn there needs to be a sarcasm font.

Electric knoxvilles. Ive had frogskins in the past and these are way better quality by far. Plus they're unique and dont have that rayban look like every kid and their brother wears. Got mine for mad cheap!
