I have a habit of sitting on them, dropping them and losing them so I don't tend to spend a lot of money on my sunglasses. If they keep the sun out of my eyes and aren't horribly ugly or expensive then I will buy them.

I typically spend about $20 on sunglasses because I lose them too often. My main use for them, anyway, is as a barrier. I injured my left eye once. NEVER AGAIN. And I've had hiking companions get eye poked with branches more than once. That's even worse than an ankle sprain when you are looking at a couple miles of switchbacks to return to camp.

Something with polarized lenses. Cuts through the mist and when crossing a stream I can watch the fish.
