Best Value in Polazied Sunglasses??

[RicVA]

For sunglasses I look at what I call the "discount" stores like TJ Maxx and Marshall's, if you have those near you.  They often have good ones for good prices.  Have also gotten some online from clearance bins on big name store sites.  There are definitely deals to be had.

I think your last point is a good one that should not be overlooked.

Retail is terrible. For anything.

I have two pairs of Eye Surrender sunglasses that I keep in my boat.  They are a good pair of glasses for the price.  One reason I bought them is I am pretty terrible about losing glasses and also leaving mine in the car in the morning.  I figure a pair of $40 glasses is more protection than NO glasses because I left mine in the car.  Couple of things about them is they frames won't break, when I bought them from my local store here, the person showing them to me bent them until the lenses popped out.  Also they do have a lifetime warranty they say (not sure what it covers and why you need it since they don't break but still).  Another thing is be careful with them because one thing that is apparently effected by price is the scratch resistance of the lens.  I have one pair that is pretty badly scratched but are still, better than nothing. 

I got a pair of the grey (for bright days) and a pair of the copper (for low light or mornings). 

Just wanted to throw an option out there that is between the 20$ ones you get at Wal-Mart which never seem to fit well at all and break pretty easy, and the ones over a hundred bucks that some folks are reluctant to spend in fear of losing or damaging their glasses. 

Also I have a pair of the Cocoons as well for my girlfriend if she comes on the boat and is wearing her glasses instead of contacts.  She says she likes them since they fit over her glasses but for me they don't fit my face and let lots of light in.  I thought they would be much better because the frames have a sort of "lip" on them that cups around your face or eyeglasses but they didn't work as well on the water for the shape of my face.

I bought a pair of Cocoons last yr at BPS and they've been great so far. Fit over my prescription glasses and really closes in nicely around my eyes to prevent light from entering.
