It happens with most metal framed sunglasses. Anytime you misshape and bend the frame you weaken them.
I've done it with Eyelevel and goodness knows how many pairs of Aviators I've had.
I'd much rather replace a £20 pair of sunglasses that I've bent and broken than a £60 pair.
My current Eyelevel sunglasses are a couple of years old.

Bought my aviators in 93 and used them until about six years ago as I needed prescription glasses. They were used every time the sun was out mainly for driving and often push up but never broke them my prescription glasses in both clear and sun glasses are aviator style metal framed gless lens and again not broken them. Either your heavy handed or buying market copies fakes.

I bought a pair of Polaroid PLD Glasses for £30 from duty free. Lovely pair for all day use and great in these bright conditions.

Oakley Splitshot Prizm Polarised - designed for fishing (hat compatible) and come with a removeable clip-in retention lanyard - really comfy, great visibility wear them all the time not only for fishing so quality & value IMO
https://www.oakley.com/en-gb/product/W0OO9416?variant=888392374677&size=M
Shop around some good deals for these at the moment almost half the RRP

Don't waste your money on expensive glasses. Just get some fortis switch wraps. I'm a glasses tart (have oakley shallow water, costa glass in green, amber and yellow, maui jims). I have spent hours with friends testing them side by side on lakes and rivers and there is nothing in it at all (except a lot more
money left in the bank when buying the fortis).

I tend to agree Frosty. As I'm a prescription glasses wearer
And also operate a Driving school. I spend a lot.of.time wearing shades.
My dealer lol, will send me Bolle and oakley lenses to try
I've tried all different types of polarized colours, tints etc
And elevation , wind, position make.much more difference when we have tried them at the lake.
I.choose oakley polarized for driving really. Something with warm tones to pop.contrast. but.mostly cos they last for years
And feel like you aren't wearing glasses.

Same even goes for the difference between Fortis and cheap Aliexpress glasses. I wear the latter more often than my Fortis. Compared many and never noticed any real difference.

Agree.
I've had Oakley, Costa, Bolle, Smith, Ray Bans, Fortis and Fox.
The polarisation on all of them was identical.
What made the difference to fish spotting was the tint, especially in low light conditions. I literally can't see any more fish with my Costas than my £20 Fortis - either in lakes for carp or chalk streams for wild trout.
Which looks better when not fishing is a different matter!

I couldn't disagree with that, but there are differences between brands.
I've often recommended the polarised glasses boots sell, but this year I've had 3 pairs where the lenses have delaminated after a bit of sal****er spray,and a £200 designer pair I bought the mrs went the same way, where my ray bans and even the spunkmonkey glasses have survived.

Fair enough. Someone can always make a #@£% product whether cheap or expensive!
