My first pair of the AO sunglasses was 30 years ago, free, issued by Uncle Sam. It was good quality, half the price of RayBan at the PX. Now, AO is still made in the USA. At less than $40, it's the best buy. I use Oakley, RayBan, and AO is the same quality. It's a little heavier than the rest with real glass lenses. Just get the ones that fit you best and enjoy it.
