Best budget sunglass brands (self.newzealand)

I don't have a good track record with sunglasses. Scratch them, break them, lose them, get super glue on the lenses (latest pair 🙄). So what's your recommendation for a decent budget brand where I can get a) good vision, b) polarised, c) UV rating?

I love Shady Rays sunglasses. They've got plenty of different styles, all their lenses are polarized, they're not too expensive, and, if there's ever an issue, they will stand behind them and will ship you a new pair for free. I wore a pair with mirrored lenses to the beach this summer, and the salt scratched up the mirroring. I filed a claim online, and they sent me a brand new pair for free. The kicker is, if you lose or break them, they will send you a new pair for just the cost of shipping, which is usually less than 9 bucks.

I've got more pairs than I want to admit, because they keep coming out with cool new styles and lenses!

Thank you for the pointer to shady rays. I just ordered some, free shipping to NZ.

I've lost more pairs of sunnies than I can count, looking forward to using their lost service!

Are you NZ based?

Oops, I am not. I guess this post popped up in my All feed, and I didn’t realize what community it was.
