I wear the cheap ones too.  I really like to get ones with yellow lenses.  I can spot fish alot better with these than the gray or even amber, especially in low light.

We started carying  sunglasses that float! They are called fish gills. Lightweight, goodlooking, comfortable floating glasses. they are also polarized. Perfect medicine for bow fishing or any other type of fishing for a modest price.

thanks, bigjim

Comfortable fit is what I wear, price is somewhat of an issue but I'll wear a $5 ultra cheap pair as long as they are polarized and fit good.
You have to remember that when it gets hot and muggy you will be sweating your boys off and you need a good pair that sits up off your nose so the sweat doesn't collect under the lenses next to your cheek bones. I look for the ones that have a comfortable nose piece, but as long as they are polarized they will work fine for spotting fish. I believe the pair I have now are FLW from Walmart? Can't remember since I've had them so long, but they are super light and work great. Be sure you don't scratch them up or you won't be able to see squat.

I wear el cheapos also, but find if I wear them too long my eyes hurt and I have to keep taken them off to give my eyes a rest.  It's because of distortions in the lenses that make you feel like your eyes are cross eyed.  A good pair are distortion free but my last pair are at the bottom of the Chesapeake bay.

Pepper's polarized glasses are very reasonably priced for very good quality.  A little more than the wally world stuff, but not by much.  I know REI carries them, but not sure about any other retailers.

Thanks, everyone.  This has been great food for thought!

Big Jim,

Can you tell us a little more about your new line?  What kind of price range are they?  Have any pics?

I tried your website, but did not see them listed yet.

I like my Ray-Bans.  I found them 1/2 off on ****...brand new in the box.  They were still expensive but worth it. I wear them every single day, all day.

The dash board of my truck.  There are two pair there now that I have no idea how they got there.  I think guys forget them when they go hunting with me.  I'm going to check em out for fishing though.
