Default sunglasses

Anybody recommend a good cheap pair of sunglasses that I can use for biking and running? I saw performancebike.com had some, but each had some mixed reviews.

I'm not sure what your idea of cheap is, but I have a pair of Serfas (Force 5) that I love. They were $50, have interchangeable lenses, and come with a lifetime warranty--which I've put to the test. The nose pad came off and they sent me a new pair without any hassle. Haven't had any problems with my second pair.

Thanks, yeah that is a decent price, I really don't want to go over 60. Lots of people love oakleys, but I can't justify spending that much and then losing them.

Trust me- if you cough up the dough for a good pair of glasses, you won't lose them. I haven't found a pair that doesn't fog on the mountain bike, but I really like Tifosi and Smith. Tifosi is 50-60 bucks, but Smith is a bit more expensive (well worth it, though).

I have a pair from Performance, think they were $30 or so. Comfortable, don't fog up, and interchangable lenses. I'm happy with them.

These ones.

I've never had a problem with losing things; I do, however, break everything. That makes the lifetime warranty attractive to me.

Steep and Cheap: Salomon Malamute Snowboard Boot - Men's has good glasses on there occasionally, I've purchased a few pairs I like, and they've been great!

Another big thumbs up for the Serfas. Very good quality interchangeable at a fair price. I always had the Performance branded ones before, but the lenses scratched ridiculously easily.

Thanks for the replies guys. I was considering the performance sunglassses, but it does seem like a lot of the reviews mentioned scratched lenses. I just want a pair that will not fall off of my face and that I might be able to use running.
