Have you tried analyze why you break so many? Maybe there is something you could do that would be even cheaper than buy cheap sunglasses?
I break them in whatever fashion you can imagine because I forget I have them with me and sit on them, i throw them in my backpack and then smash them with 6 pack of milk, I put them in a pocket with keys and they scratch. Most of the time I just leave them somewhere because I forget about them. Idk what could be cheaper than buying them cheap.
I used to do the same when I bought cheap sunnies. I went on a whim and purchased a designer pair, and have had them 10 years now. If something has more cost, you tend to take care of it more. At least I do.
Tried that. 150e sunglasses were great until I lost them somewhere a month or two later :) I'm more of a bog monster rather than fashion concious guy, my mind doesn't like keeping the data on accessories. When it stops raining i put an umbrella anywhere and forget about its existence, the same with sunglasses when a cloud covers the sun for 5 minutes.
