I like the Wiley X's. You can change the lenses from clear, amber, and smoke really quick. There is also a strap that makes them into goggles with a quick change. They're really tough and cost about $70 a pair. They're a complimentary gift with an all expense paid trip to the sandbox.
Check out "NATIVE" sunglasses. They have a lifetime warranty on the frames and lenses. You scratch them or brake them and they replace them for life. The first time you mess them up it cost you 20 bucks and shipping. After that you can keep braking them and sending them back and they fix them or replace them for free for life. They are real good for not fogging up (they are ported around the frames) when you go from one extreme temp ,indoors to outdoors, to another and they are comfortable and light. They come in different sizes to fit any head and some models come with interchangable lense colors. All models are polarized. They are priced from 100 to 120 bucks and worth every penny if you are REAL hard on things like me. I've had mine repaired 4 times. They stand behind their product which is hard to come by in a company nowadays. If you are interested do a google search for native dealers. They are worth it.
In this line of work, I can't justify spending much money on sunglasses. The first good struggle or foot chase I'm in, and they're history.

Before I needed glasses, I just went to the local swap meet and bought them. I recall one time after buying 2 pair for $7 each, I got an assistance call, holding one at gunpoint. As I crouched down by my car, gun drawn, I threw my 1 pair on my seat (you probably know where this is going) to see better. When the whole thing was over and after bsing for awhile, I returned to my car, got in and sat down. One $7 pair of glasses not even 30 minutes old, broken. Damn.
Later on, I needed prescription ones and had to get 2 pair; one clear lens and 1 sunglass type as back then they did not have the kind that got darker/lighter. What a pain to switch glasses as I entered a loc. Now, retired, I have 1 pair of prescription (Native doesn't do it) that changes from dark to clear from my medical optical office. Not real Joe Cool looking, but it works and the insurance pays.
i'm a big supporter of SPY glasses, they are incredible. you do not lose any depth perception, thats what i think. go to a store and try them on, find what pair you like and then head over to ebay...
My doctor told me never to buy cheap sunglasses. (And no he wasnt selling sunglasses.) How much are your eyes worth to you?
If you can find cheap ones that protect your eyes from the harmful rays, then get them. Sunglasses are for protecting your eyesite, not just to stop the squinting
