    Confused Low Priced but Decent Quality RXable Sunglasses?

    Hey folks! Haven't been around these parts much for oh, I guess, a few years now! But I'm back, and now own my own dispensary in beautiful Hope, BC! No more nasty commute to Abbotsford for me! I did my market research and although the demographics here in Hope are significantly different than they are in Abbotsford, I'm quite stumped about what line of general purpose fashion orientedlow-priced sunwear to carry.I'm looking at the max. $120 retail price tag. Anyone have any thoughts on the Zeal line by Maui Jim? Anyone have any other suggestions? I'm open to suggestions! Cheers, Cindy Koszegi, Hope Optical

    Hilco Leader line for the sporty and toxic for the fashionable but be careful with the toxic. Make sure you're buying the acetate frames. Some of their stuff is kind of sketch.

    We use SunTrends from i-deal ... they're decent quality and come at a good price ... the women's ones can be a little out of control style wise though :)

    i've seen the zeal, and i like it, but ithink theyre still a little TOO pricey OC

    +1 the Leader is quite good. Also look at One Sun from Alternative Eyewear. Price and quality is very good.

    You should probably have a few of the main ray Bans also, Wayfarers are always popular and not that way out of range.
