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.

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

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!

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.
