What’s the best sunglass brand to bifl? I’m not even sure if there’s any with a very durable design
I still have the Vuarnet pair that I bought in 1993.

Barton Perreira and Vuarnet are good brandsz not absurdly expensive but not cheap either

I have a pair of Vuarnets I got at Goodwill, they seem pretty old and not a scratch on them. Apparently their lenses are still mineral glass and they last forever.

Best street style sunglasses that can last years
Vuarnet. The finish is in the lenses themselves which are made of mineral glass so they won't scratch. This gives them the trade off of higher risk of shattering.

Wrap around sunglasses
I’ve worked in a sunglass shop and Vuarnet was our gold standard for lens quality at the time. MJs are very very good however and hard to tell the difference imo unless you’re surrounded by lenses all day. I’d look into Vuarnet’s sport models

Sunglasses - Polarised with glass/scratch resistant lenses?
Vuarnet, get the glass ones. I have a pair from the 90's that have been abused with zero scratches.
