I thought I had asked this question before, though I cannot find it....

I play tennis and need sunglasses that are designed for more than driving or strolling along the beach. Friends of mine like Maui Jim, Smith, Bolle, etc.

Any BTDT experience? Any idea where I might look for a deal on pricey sunglasses?

Thank you!

I like Native or Oakleys.

I wear Costa (del mar)...I think they are kind of a surfer brand. They have one collection that is supposed to grip to your face when you sweat...but I wear the "voyager, isabella" for boating and other sporty activities. Mine are white, but it doesn't look like they show colors on the website.

I really like the Anarchy (or Angel for women) brand -- they're a snowboarder brand, but almost all styles are polarized and relatively inexpensive (<$50) but hold up very well AND I"m not heartbroken if I loose them.

Check Costco for good deals on Maui Jim's!

My DH loves his Smith & when we had a problem with his glasses (5 years old) they replaced the pieces in question & charged us nothing - can't say enough good things about the company & glasses.

That said - I have a pair of Zeal optics... they were my brand of ski goggles first & I got addicted to the quality of the lenses so I bought a pair of glasses too.

DH loves his Native sunglasses for running (mostly long distance trail running). He's had the same pair for several years now, the Dash XP (http://www.nativeyewear.com/style/view/10). I think we bought them from REI originally. His "regular" sunglasses are Bolle and he likes those a lot too. I think he's on his second pair of Bolle sunglasses.

I love Maui Jims. My husband picked up my last pair at Costco for me and I really, really like them!

I had never even heard of some of these brands. I have Sunglass Hut and Costco nearby; REI is a special trip. Anywhere else I should look?

Thanks again!

At a cheaper price point, I like Nike sunglasses.

Another vote here for Zeals. I've been using them as my cycling sunglasses for 3 years and I love them.
