Pit Vipers Worldwide
This fun and funky brand started with one mission: to make sunglasses that can take a beating. Founded in 2012 by owner Chuck Mumford, this brand’s goal is to make durable glasses that are cool, on-trend, and meant to fit an extreme lifestyle. This brand prides itself on not taking themselves too seriously and that definitely shows through on their website. These glasses are military grade, solar protected, and have three adjustment points to achieve the perfect fit. While they’re not as affordable as gas station sunglasses, they certainly beat out designer prices. These glasses will run you about $99 a pair.
Blenders Eyewear
This brand started off in an unlikely way. Owner, Chase Fisher, went to a nightclub in neon green “beater” sunglasses and received overwhelmingly positive feedback on them. With this, he realized that there were not many sunglass options that were affordable and fun. This is when Blenders Eyewear was born. Blenders’ mission is to create a mid-priced eyewear option that is also high quality and follows the fun and fresh trends of the moment. These sunglasses cost about $50 a pair.
