I guess you get what you pay for. I couldn't beat the price for polorized sunglasses but they were/are so flimsy that won't stay on. They have no integortory to them. But again it's not going to break my bank because of them. They are the ones I rarely reach for when I absolutley can't find any other of my pairs of sunglasses. I don't even think i'd take them to the river. Or maybe i would and wouldn't worry too much if I lost them and they became more decoration for the botttom of the lake. If you are in a bind i don't see why not but they are nothing to be impressed over.
