What kind of sunglasses won't melt if you leave them in the car when it's 110 degrees outside?

Is there a certain material to look for? Carbon fiber? Acrylic? Kryptonite? Unobtanium?

Garcias.

5. But they will stand up to the heat even if you are on fire.

They are cheap at about $40.00 and most thieves wont take them.

2. Metal framed Ray-Bans. The kind the warden wore in Cool Hand Luke.

The bigger question is why the fuck are you sitting in your car in 110 degree heat without the AC on? I havve to assume that you are sitting in the car because any sane person would be wearing their shades when it's 110 outside. They woulod not leave them in the car.

3. I meant leave them in the car. I edited the title for clarity

Doesn't metal get real hot tho? And Aren't those kinda expensive? I'm looking for something cheap so when the car gets broken in to it's not that bad of a loss.

7. The answer is actually super-cheap.

Usually around this time of year, stores like Target and WalMart start to sell these rubberized-plastic Wayfarer-style (as in the iconic Ray-Ban frame) sunglasses designed for kids. (Not toddlers, like 8-12 year olds. They'll fit an adult) They're basically indestructible. They don't melt, they don't burn, they don't get hot, you can't break them, the lenses are shit and scratch easily (and occasionally have defects but those should be obvious at the store) but since they're basically disposable one-season or one-day-at-the-beach sunglasses it doesn't really matter. They're also usually really ugly florescent colors though so that kids can't lose them. Like $5.

I assume you're just wearing them to drive.

10. My Ray-Ban aviators won't melt. Period.

Metal frames, glass lenses.

Plus they look really cool.

6. Murphy's Law of Sunglasses. $10 shades last forever

And you'll sit on your $150 Costa Del Mars within the first week.

8. Ain't that the truth.

Holds true for eyeglasses too. My fancy expensive frames, I used to break them constantly. My current frames were meant to be prescription sunglasses frames so cheaper and lower quality than eyeglass frames; I only needed them to last a few months between gigs...3 years and they look like the day I got them.

9. Can you recommend any $10 glasses? I can't find any at that price.

11. Get on the internet.

especially if you need prescription shades. I wear prescription shades (i'm extremely nearsighted) with metal black anodized frames. You can get non-prescription shades too.

I've gotten prescription bifocals from zenni optical, and new prescription shades put in some old frames at goggles4u. Single vision glasses can be extremely cheap.

I paid $49 for my last pair of prescription bifocals with plastic frames, $10 for the frame, $39 for bifocals with lines.
