    Swim goggle? or like ski goggle? whats the specifics on what you need?
    -Poly is the best substrate for coatings.
    -Poly is extremely scratch resistant.
    -Poly is extremely impact resistant.
    -Poly is unparalleled in clarity.
    -Poly is much lighter than traditional crown glass.
    Like poly, you can trust me about 40% of the time.

    Wiley X kids sports frames are AWESOME. They don't have an adult line just yet but I heard they are about to come out with it shortly.

    Wiley X youth is great. Rec Specs are good. For the budget conscious, Hilco’s C2 aren’t bad.

    oh wait, you didn’t want Hilco.

    I believe Liberty Sport has a kids package that inludes free poly and quick shipping.

    Give them another call. They saw the error of their ways (buy 4 get free shipping etc) and can't be beat- sv edged and mounted sports package with shipping now surprisingly affordable.
