Hi guys, I'm looking to buy a pair of sunglassess. I like Ray-bans, they are stylish, very well built BUT..... too expensive for me

Is there any less expensive and decent brands out there? Would appreciate any sort of feedbacks

I'm happy to spend around 200-300 for a good pair, but the cheapest raybans i can find cost 400++

Maui Jim has been my favourites since I retired my Oakley that peeled

My last 5 Oakleys, all lens peeled right after warranty ends.
Dont know how good the Oakley after Luxottica bought them.

Maui Jim if you can find them.

Why not. Sure can get Maui Jim in KL.
Got mine from Malaya Optical

wow thanks guys for the recommendation.., never heard of the brand before but definitely gonna visit an optic store soon

Try and buy what suits your face and you look good wearing them.

Oakley but I don't think it's cheaper than ray-ban

Oakley usually peel.

Which Oakley you all owned? I do have 2 pairs of Juliet (Fire & Ruby), both peels off after few years but recently i found a good craftsman in Japan to replace both of my Oakley. Lens definitely is 3rd party (aka OEM) but the Japan craftsman really good in refurbishing, it really looks like brand new to me.

Mine was oil rig, oil drum. after peeled, I replaced with Made in USA 3rd party lens as backup sun glasses . Maui Jim for main use.

You may try this if want to refurbish your gear

I have two oakley and both lens is peel off. No matter how care you are. Disappointed. Rayban is quite pricey but it is a good investment. Most of rayban lense were made from glass and quite reliable. For budget sunglasses I choose Prive Revaux.
