Lol, it me. I literally have a pair of eeWings on my enduro to match my $10 Home Depot safety glasses.
But truly, I have found I HATE any colored tint in the woods. So while I run top of the line optics for skiing (anon M4), I actually prefer my $25 rock bros to the Smiths I had previously. And bonus, I like having things I don’t need to treat preciously.
Edit: also, while good design deserves to make a profit, it is admittedly hard for me to pay what I know to be a 30-60X (multiple not percent) markup. Those $300 glasses cost about $5-10 to make. Including packaging. Maaaaybe $15 if you’re paying a Zeiss brand licensing fee.
