This dude Dario says 'Nah, that's why I buy cheap glasses, those cost me $25'.
We shared a fist bump @ 25mph. It was EXCELLENT.
I have a few pair of the Tifosi Slip. They ROCK.
+1 - I'm in the market for a new cheapo pair as well as I've gone through yet another pair. After buying expensive Brikos many years ago (great sunglasses, but no difference between, $150 vs. $15 I paid for the last ones).
I'd actually rather have a bunch of crappy ones for riding and put my money on some nice ones for wearing out / driving / etc. vs the scratched, gummed up and bounced off your helmet crappers for cycling.
