See, and my sunglasses always get so covered in sweat and sunblock and grime that I can't justify spending so much for superior optical quality as long as the frames fit pretty well (and mine always stay up well, since I have the temple pieces tucked under my helmet straps). I generally wear Optic Nerves, which won't make me cry if they get broken or lost/stolen (and their photochromics have the largest range between dark/light of ANY manufacturer, which is a bigger deal to me than lens clarity).
