Sorry, but you will not find decent polarized sun glasses for under $50.

Scour the internet and find a good deal on some Costas.

and take an anger management course...

Think its campmor, ordered a pair of Native glasses that were originally $90 for half that. Very happy with my purchase, best pair of glasses I've owned. They have quite a few, just have to watch out for the sizes, many of them are the small or xxlarge size, I guess with expensive glasses are actually sized, never knew that before researching on that buy.

Costco has a variety of name brand sunglasses at good prices. They also sell their own brand polarized sunglasses for like 25 to 30 dollars. (don't remember exact price). I like mine fine. Also the Maui Jims I bought there.

You want something comfortable that work well, or something cool? cool costs more. Actually the ones I bought from a kiosk in the mall are ok.

All I ask is that you dudes carefully select these glasses. I've been wearing polarized lenses for a long time and I simply want it understood there are polarized glasses and then there are POLARIZED glasses. Wear the the "pretend" ones on the tarpon or bonefish flats or standing in stern of a sportfisher watching baits bouncing in the sunshine and you'll learn the difference.

Now, ya'll carry on.

I suppose one could check the quality of the polarization by taking two pairs and look at a light through two lenses. Rotate one lens and see how dark the light gets when they are oriented at 90 degrees.

In my opinion the amount of hype in the sunglass world is exceeded only by that in the audio cable world.

How does one tell Polarized from POLARIZED!!!!!?

I agree there is a lot of hype. $200 sunglass guys think everything is junk.

Check out suncloud. They have them around the metro. Lifetime warranty and in your price range.

Keep an eye on steepandcheap. They run many deeply discounted deals each day for a short time and have quality sunglasses frequently.

Try on a few pair at the store until you find a brand and style you like best, than go home and find it on Amazon for probably half price. I bought a pair of Bolle's for around $55 that I have been very happy with.

I don't doubt there are difference between polarized lenses and POLARIZED lenses, but the biggest difference between a mid-range pair compared to a $20 pair are the frames. I can wear the Bolle's for hours and stay comfortable. The cheaper pairs always pinch or dig-in somewhere - some to the point you can't stand to wear them any longer.

One of the things my dermatologist asked me when I went in to get a mole checked out is "Do you wear good sunglasses?" She said there is a difference in eye protection between cheap polarized sunglasses and good ones. Just passing along what my doc said. I have some Native's and they were $150 so not top end but I sure do like the difference in quality over the $20 pairs I used to buy. I find I take much better care of these than I did with cheap sunglasses and they will probably be cheaper in the long run than buying 1 or 2 new pair of cheapos a year.

SpiderWire Sunglasses for $13.47 a pair. I have had great luck with them. I use to get them at Walmart but havent seen them there lately.

Yes I go to Walmart so feel free to shoot me on site...

So for 14 bucks it may and IMO would be worth a shot to you.
