Costa's if I'm going fishing, though
also both of these companies have amazing customer service - most recently Costa repaired a scratched lens and frame (which means gave me a new pair) for $12.95 shipping and handling.

. Have both and they are far better than any others I've owned.

I have been wearing Oakleys for years now. Ever since they came out with their prescription line.

Polarized in not my choice though. I do not believe they offer the best optics for me.

Cheap walmart specials. So when I lose them or one of my kids sits on them, it's no big deal.

I put sunglasses in same category as pens. No Mont Blanc pen to lose, no high dollar sun glasses to lose/break.

Yes, they do... I picked up a pair of aviation clip-ons at Oshkosh that are non-polarized. The problem with polarized glasses is you can't read the HUD, GPS and other LCD screens. Downside is the glare though but for me it's a good trade-off.

I wear Ray Ban polarized (2 different pairs) & have no problem with seeing HUD and Nav Unit.

Default Maui Jim's

I have had Maui Jim's and ray bans. Maui Jim's seem to have more durable lenses.

RayBan Wayfarers Man, groovy!
j/k
Usually I swap between Oakley M-Frames and a $20 pair I picked up recently, they said IronMan on them, like the Timex watches, so they must be the best.

Still use my old aviator style progressive non-polarized drivers. The best but hard to find.

Polarized, and cheap. I lose a pair of sunglasses every 4 months or so. You can still read the HUD thru polarized, but it is a little dimmer.
