I love them--much more protection than my sunglasses, but they're pretty cheap and light. ANd they're designed to save your eyes from dangerous high-speed objects.Even nice ones are only in the $10 range.
Oh thank goodness!! I thought I was going to stick out as some tight-wad because I refuse to spend more than $20 for something that will most likely not last a year.

I second the safety glasses! I go to G.I. Joes and snag some clear safety glasses and then for sunny days, for $14 I get polarized 100% UVA/UVB protected sunglasses. Check the anglers section for the cheapest lenses. I can wear them with no fear of being out big $$$ for sunglasses.
