I have a pair and love them, but like Big Mike said, they do scratch easily. I left mine in the case whenever I wasn't wearing them and cleaned them often but they still got tore up. I probably dropped them or something though.

Love my pair. Great polarization. They came in handy when looking for beds last spring.

I got a pair 2 years ago and have worn them everyday. I don't know if I'd call them the best pair of glasses I've ever had, but they are very nice. In 2 years they just got their first scratch on them a couple months ago. Not a big scratch and nothing that makes me need a new pair yet. The nose pieces did fall off but I actually like the way they fit better without 'em. I got them from the rebate offer that Abu was offering, so I guess they could be considered freebies. I like 'em.

Got some Blinks and love them. Had them for 2 years and keep them in the case. Only wear on the water and they've lasted without a scratch so far.

Long version: I've got Zaks and their ok. But I won't get again. Loved them at first and they do have good polarization, but I'm only one year into them and the black coating is pealing everywhere that skin or sweat touches, or gets close. Nosepiece is pealing from bottom, one fell off completely. Just superglued last weekend, we'll see how long it lasts. They do scratch easy. And I've never had lenses that get dirty faster and are so hard to get clean and clear. I've been wearing glasses all my life and have always been able to just clean with a clean cloth or shirt. These just smudge. Weird. My reading glasses sparkle after just a quick pass with my shirt.
Short version: for what they cost, I wish I would have gotten something else.
