    I was wearing my almost brand new (I haven't even paid the credit card bill yet) pair of Rudy Projects on top of my head after it got dark on Friday night - they fell off as I got into the cab and got driven over and broke.

    They were the first pair of expensive sunglasses I had ever bought. I really like them but it has confirmed for me that I break or lose sunglasses with such regularity that I should stick to the cheap ones

    GLC1968 - I'm glad you wrote up that little tidbit about Tifosi.

    When I bought my first pair of sunglasses, I bought it off of Ebay - Rudy Project Graal Sx. The lenses were way too small for my face, I have absolutely no nose bridge so it kept slipping, so it was basically a bit of money wasted. The lense quality was great though, never suffered a scratch. So I didn't learn my lesson and bought the Smith Toaster - this time it was WAY too small for my head, I couldn't see through them because my head was too huge, but again, the frames were of great quality. I never considered Tifosi because they were so much cheaper than Smiths or Rudy Project (based on MSRP comparison with the Toaster or the Graal or the Rydon). And I got the stupid impression that more expensive = much better.

    I finally tried on the Tifosi Pave - finally! A good fitting pair of sunglasses. And much better priced, too! I don't know about durability yet, I've only had them for a week, but it echos what everyone else is saying - you need to go and try out the frames first or you'll end up really disappointed.

    Love my Rydon Rudy Project glasses. What I like most is I dont even know I have them on.
    The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
