Hey Lemmies, I want to buy a new pair of sunglasses without contributing to Luxotica dominance. I've had Shady rays, but I am looking for a non-american brand.

Look forward to hear your recommendations.

Goodr They might be American, I'm not sure. But they claim to be 100% carbon neutral. They're cheap but hold up really well. Look good too.

Here to vouch for Goodr - I bought two pairs from them years ago and haven't been very careful with them but they are still in great condition and look awesome.

I got some Goodrs and Knockarounds. And Knockarounds were better for not sliding down. I live in a tropical place and am always sweating. If you have the money, though, i’d get Tifosi.

Yes.

Except their “Voight-Kampf Vision”. They have that shitty rubber finish that perishes over time and becomes a sticky mess. Reflective coating strips off after a while even when cared for as per their instructions.

I loved these as my running sunnies but was pretty pissed when they started falling apart.

Not super cheap here in Oz either!

(edited for typo)

The reflective coating seems to not be very durable in my experience.
