I have a pair of Ray-Bans that I love because their polarization is excellent and they look great, but when I go to the beach on a crowded day or out with friends I'd be upset if I lost them. These are 95% of the look and probably 80% of the quality for a fraction of the price, so I'll leave the good sunglasses somewhere safe and take these with me. For this pirce I'll be able to have fun and relax. Heck, I can buy a dozen paris of these for the price of one pair of Ray Bans. Try them!
