Short YouTube commentary by Mike Andes arguing that inexpensive sunglasses (e.g., $5 Walmart or Dollar Store glasses, nicknamed “piranhas”) are more practical for him than expensive Oakleys because he frequently breaks or loses sunglasses. He nevertheless endorses spending more on durable clothing/footwear (boots, pants, gloves, rain gear brands like Helly Hansen and Carhartt).
Quick shout out to piranha. The $5 glasses from Walmart have lasted years and years with the mower and the weed whacker. So you can put your Oakley back in your pocket, put money back in your pocket and get some piranhas. But in general, when it comes to gear, I'm a big proponent of spending good. Like for example, boots, pants, gloves, especially rain gear is extremely important in my mind to actually get Helly Hansen get some really good Carhartt stuff. When it comes to, like my sunglasses, the reason is because I break them or I lose them literally every couple months. Dollar Store and Walmart glasses are the way of the future for me.
