no i guess ill be getting some arent they really expensive?

you can buy berkley brand polarized sunglasses at wal-mart for 10 bucks, obviously they aren't gonna be the same as some crazy 200 dollar oakleys but they do get the job done

Some of the Berkeley ones aren't bad at all, but I also had a pair that sucked. Here's what I've been using....

Under $20 and they aren't bad for a cheap pair. Got mine at Gander Mountain, but other places probably have them. I like amber lenses that aren't very dark...
 
i might look in to gettin some of those, i'm on my 3rd pair of the berkleys i go pretty hard on em since they're cheap lol
 
The one benefit of having a expensive pair of glasses are that you care for them. You make sure they get dropped or you dont lose them. I used those cheapo glasses from wallyworld and lost like 5 sets of those in 3 years. Got a pair of Maui Jims not even a scratch on them in 2 years. Also they tend to look nicer and are more durable.

$50 in 3 years, $150+ in 2 years, either way in the short term you save money, long term different story but for somebody getting their first pair cant go wrong with cheap. maui's are awesome tho :P
