I can get those same glasses about 50 cents each, but you need to buy at least 20 each to get that price in Philippines.

They come from China and are usually poor quality........

Just get a set of amphibias and you'll be set... I got tired of replacing sunglasses and not only do they float but they are downright durable as hell, botht he frames and lenses. I wear mine every single day, on the lake, riding my motorcycle, doing anything in the sun... the brown/yellow lenses I have in my camo frame are so awesome... I make every single person with me look through them to see how great the HD lenses are. I will never buy another pair of anything else, least of all oakleys.

I bought a pair of amphibias, I had taken them off and had them on my hat, the wind blew them off my hat and damaged one of lenses. They were brand new. They float to a certain degree. I tested them in my pool. You have a moment to get them before they sink to the bottom. I do like the glasses, they are not as durable and do not float like I was lead to believe.

I never have spent the money for the Oakleys though I have a few friends that have......I've owned a pair or two of the 'Fakeleys" the look alikes you can get at Wally World, mainly because I needed sunglasses and they were available........I can't see giving $200.00 or so for sun glasses. Even if I had money to burn.......The other come of lately status symbol the Yeti cooler, I ain't doing that either.....

A good pair of sun glasses make a difference... I have a pair of Maui Jims that I love.... I know expensive... But the only pair I of glasses I have ever found to fit my face... (I think I have broke my nose a few times) I can never find a pair to sit on the bridge of my nose and not look ridiculous... Anyways... I had them fall off my hat a few weeks ago and of course they landed just right and cracked one of the lenses.... I called them and made a repair order I asked for lenses and the ear pieces to be looked at and fixed if need be and sent them off... Lenses were around 60$ or so.... I received then back in only about 3 weeks. To my surprise because I wasn't expecting them. I was still expecting a phone call so I could give them payment info because I did not include it ( I will not mail my credit card info to no one) Inside was a work order receipt and a note saying sorry it took so long we repaired your glasses for free.... Not only was it a new pair of glasses but a new case and sock that they come in also... These glasses cost me about 325$ so they were not cheap.... Mai Jim customer for life! They are awesome and have a absolute quality product. REMEMBER YOU ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!! THATS A FACT!

+2 Maui Jims customer service is the best. I have sent them one of my pairs twice and both times I swear they just sent me new glasses instead of fixing mine. I am now on my 3rd pair in the last 20 years and I still have all 3 and use them all. I have 2 with the plastic lenses and one with the glass, the ones with the glass lenses seam to be the best out on the water

Glasses are like fishing reels sure they will all get the job done... But in 5 or 10 years how will that 20$ reel work? If you buy 10 pair of 20$ glasses in 10 years you still spent 200$ in glasses... Just saying... Quality cost $$ that's all there is to it. The only question is how do you want to spend your $$

some don't have two hundy to spend so a twenty dollar bps set works for their budget.

True enough but in glasses and in coolers the money you spend is well worth it. A good pair of glasses are worth every penny and there isn't a cooler out there that will compare to a yeti. I've tried cheap glasses and cheap coolers and glad I spent the money on both the higher end glasses and the higher end coolers. And I completely understand that people budget may not allow for such purchases and plenty of times where mine don't.

If it's to good to be true then it's a SCAM! Was in Cozemel in May, those authentic fake Oakleys were everywhere for $25 AMERICAN DOLLARS.

I bought some Oakreys. They turned out to be Chinese knock offs. Seems pretty obvious in hindsight.
