I break sunglasses all the time so usually buy 3 or 4 pairs when they go on sale.
These do sit a bit tight if you have a fat head like me!

[similar polarized sunglasses US $4.77delivered](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2015-New-Men-Aviator-Polariz…if you are able to confirm these 5 dollar chinese jobs are any good then I'll take a gamble on em, otherwise I'll stick to something I know isnt going to fall apart in 5 minutes.
I've bought quite a few pairs of inexpensive sunglasses from aliexpress. my favourites are the plain rayban wayfarer polarised sunglassses for ~$2.20 delivered. they are polarized and UV400. very solid sunglasses. I've lost a couple of pairs from carelessness and have just grabbed another pair from my box of spares. I've also given away a few pairs to friends when we are out and it's sunny and they are squinting (I always carry a spare pair in my bag)
The risk with cheap sunglasses is they might not provide any protection to your eyes and instead make your eyes open wider when looking at the sun/glare. A really good way to fry your eyeballs.
@altomic:
The difference he is talking about (I think) is that the AliExpress state UVA400, etc. but is it legit? I would pay more for glasses if I was sure of their protection claims which tends to be more reliable when backed by a brand name - UV really destroys your eyes.
Have you tested the "polarizedness" of it? If it's polarized as it claims, then i'll take a gamble too.
@deeps: yes, i've test the polarization. there are several ways to do that. (1) hold the sun glasses up to a computer monitor (monitors all have a polarization film) and turn the glasses. if they are polarized then the screen/glasses will go black/very dark. (2) like (1) hold the glasses up against another pair of polarized glasses and turn. (3) use a polarization testing card - it's a simple image that shows a hidden image when viewed through polarized glasses. often sunglasses from aliexpress will be shipped with one of these cards.
@Tock: very true, we rely on the genuineness of manufacturers claims. but ribena was a trusted brand as was VW.
You can hold two pairs of glasses and look through both lenses.. then rotate one and you should see it darken and lighten too.
@deeps: there's a relatively simple method using a UV light and a photovoltaic cell hooked up to a multimeter.
My three pairs arrived yesterday - quite impressed! Will probably order a few more.
Jump on them guys, you can't go wrong for $2.20
Is the quality of hawkers sunglasses any good? Frames looks hectic but there was mixed reviews about the lenses. if anyone owns these sunnies, would like to know if i could drive with these in direct sunlight.
I've got a few pairs of Hawkers.
Great value if you can get them on sale. (~$30).
I'd say the lenses are quite good, the frames are just decent.
Primarily use them for cycling, beach and active things.
hectic, im gonna get 2 then hahaha, thanks for the help @googlevich
Mine are all scratched up now (all the colour has gone, I had gold lens ones and purple lens ones) but I failed to protect them properly
ahh, how long did they last?
Purple one is 2 years old, gold one about 1.5. They're still usable like I went to the beach with them and didn't give a shit if they got ruined. But they just look a bit tattered lol. Look, here's a photo http://i.imgur.com/QbmTyqR.jpg my purple ones are worse but they're at home.
I would buy again at a better discount :P, maybe I need to take better care of them.
@ippy: wow that is not that bad lol, but yeah ive looked back on ozbargain on hawkers, so many good discounts in the past. should wait aye
@Zues981: well its deteriorated a lot lol. What you're seeing is 95% of the gold gone. When it was at 50% gone it did look a bit rough. Take care of your items, kids.
no deal, have been cheaper
