worked in the optical industry for a while. unfortunately i know way too much about shades.
you want clarity and scratch resistance? go glass.
look at the water a shitton? go polarized.
bright sun? grey base lens
fog and overcast? brown base lens
want colors to pop? maui and costa have color enhancers
want to overheat your frames in the hot as car? go nylon or grilamid, not acetate
big head? go costa fisch
want the best lenses for driving? go serengeti photo-polar drivers
fishing? go costa green mirror 580g
all around beach travel lifestyle? go maui super thin glass.
honorable mention for ray ban and persol. (the RB2132 is one of the best frames ever) same lenses material in both but go crystal. no poly.
Electric does a couple frames in polarized mineral glass. Rectangular shape- knoxville (xl). wrap- tech one
otis flashed for a minute but they were heavy china made and not all that wearable
oakley sports/cycling frames will stay the fuck on your face but the lens scratch easily and clarity is average at best for plastic. shoutout for their ballistic/shooting/safety glasses though
all the rest of the lifestyle brands spy vz kaenon smith dragon blenders etc are all overpriced sh!t that youd be better off avoiding and shopping the quickie mart dollar rack instead.
