I just spent $140 on a pair of running sunglasses. They're fashionable AND technical. I used to be of the crowd that "why spend more than $20 on a pair of shades." But it sucks, I have light colored sensitive eyes that require sunglasses 90% of my runs and I'm sick of wearing Terminator-type shades and looking like a dork. Anyone else spent more, just to make me feel better?
I got some for free at a race this summer ðŸ‘
Real men don't wear running sunglasses. smh snowflake.
Helps prevent premature wrinkles..;)
$50, I think.
You probably still look like a dork, but now you look like a dork wearing expensive shades, which is a cooler type of dork.
I wouldn't wear expensive shades on my runs. Too high a risk of getting mugged.
Costco has some Champion sunglasses right now that I paid $25 for. They have a rubber insert on the nose and by the ears. Ran in 90 degrees yesterday, sweating like crazy and they still didn't slip down. Vision with them is pretty good and I like the way they look.
I love my Dudumas- $20 from Amazon.
$10, still my favorite pair 4 years later
$450 I hate contacts and after 20+ years with regular glasses i bought a pair of sunglasses. Wish I'd have done it sooner.
Yup, me too - $450 on a pair of RecSpecs with my prescription. One of my better purchases.
$20 I don't want to worry about losing them.
I enjoy a yuge discount, so I've never paid full price, but I will swear by Oakley shades: Flak Jackets, Half-Jackets, Radar, Path, Pitch, etc. They have premium optics, outstanding eye protection, and are completely modular and customizable. Even replacing scratched lens is a breeze and fairly cheap.
Best sunglasses on earth. Hands down. For The Win!

See, I don't like the look, that's all. I know Oakley's are fantastic and my "daily" sunshades are Oakley Frogskins or something, but they don't stay in place for running. I just don't like the Terminator look, same with the mentioned Dudumas.
Anyways, I look good now, at least to myself which is what matters. I'm happy.
I never wear sun glasses. If you block sunlight from entering your eyes you block Vitamin D production because your body detects UV rays through the eyes which begins production from the oils on your skin.
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
