Some of the cheaper Wiley-X? I think they can be had for about $50 or less depending on model.
The model SG-1 would probably be cheap enough. |

Quoted: insert joker not sure if serious here serious Why would I not be serious? I'm tired of killing a $12 pair of sunglasses just because the pin on the arm hinge has broken. |

I've had my Oakley Juliets for 8.5 years now.
Yes, they were $300, but I'm betting you've spent at least that much over the same time period. |

Try industrial safety glasses, they're inexpensive and durable. I like the Uvex brand with the "espresso" brown tint lens.

I've had 2 pair of 12-17 dollar pair of sunglasses break or get run over by my lawn mower in the last year.  Is there a pair of sunglasses that I can buy replacement parts for that don't cost over $20? I've had oakleys before and I have owned zippos and other expensive things. They just get lost or stolen. I'm trying to go a different direction. |

I've had my M Frames for over a decade now.
Last set of replacement lenses I bought for $25 from Dick's 2 years ago.

I've taken to buying a few copies of whatever cheap ($15 or less) glasses I like and using them until they get scratched/lost then opening the visor storage and getting out the spare. I average a year or two per pair.

+1 for safety glasses. I've been wearing Nemesis glasses for awhile. I forget what they cost, but it's less than $10.
I don't know of any cheap glasses with replacement parts. |

I bought 2 pairs of Oakley Fives about 5 years ago. I'm still using the first pair, haven't worn the spare ones yet. The lenses are a little scratched, after probably 50 drops onto floors, driveways, parking lots, etc.
I might see about getting some new lenses, if they still make them for these frames.  ETA: I usually wash them in dish detergent about once every couple of months, and pop the lenses out and really deep clean them about twice a year. |

I order Radians sunglasses from Midway by the dozen. Get a scratch? toss or give away.
$6 a pair I probably have spent $60 in the last 5 years. |

I would bet it would cost you more money to buy replacement parts than to just buy 3 or 4 pairs of the same glasses at the same time..
Break a pair. switch to #2 pair.. Break #2, repair using first pair OR move on the pair #3, break #3 repair with #1 &/or #2, OR move on to #4 - at some point you should be able to make a pair or two just using the broken pairs.. |
