The lenses in a lot of designer frames come from the same factories as the $80 pair. You pay extra for the arm stamp.

What actually matters:

• Polarization. Cuts glare on windshields and water. Cheap tints don't.

• UV400. If it doesn't block 100% UVA/UVB, it's a costume.

• Hinge and temple weight. If they slide down your nose after 20 minutes, the geometry is wrong — not your face.

I built M.A.N because I got tired of paying for a logo I didn't care about. The Everyday is $89. Polarized. UV400. Looks like the pair you already wanted.

If you've been wearing a $200 pair and can't tell the difference in the mirror, that's the point.
