Lots of inexpensive polars on the market now. Unless you need prescription lens I donn't feel there is much difference between them. If you want the name then pay, otherwise stay cheap - that way if you lose or break them you can easily replace

the only difference between the cheap ones and dear ones are that the more you pay the better the frame is.
Who cares about the frame.

I got some Fox ones last year from E-bay, they are pukka at £18. Was watching a group of fish last year feeding on the top could see them clear as day with them on. Money well spent for me.
