Goodr They might be American, I'm not sure. But they claim to be 100% carbon neutral. They're cheap but hold up really well. Look good too.

Here to vouch for Goodr - I bought two pairs from them years ago and haven't been very careful with them but they are still in great condition and look awesome.
Sadly only US
Look for safety glasses. Some come with polarized or photochromic lenses too.
Maybe not the most stylish, but they work, and are legit safety glasses so they're far more durable (and protective) than Luxottica sunglasses. I've had a few that basically look like regular sport sunglasses.
[off topic[ Have you tried checking out thrift stores and yard sales?
Any polarised ones will do the job. No need to buy a brand. I've never spent more than 10 quid on sunglasses and they all worked perfectly.
I've only bought ic! Berlin and Mykita the last 3 pairs of sunglasses (both are German companies). They both use these tensioned metal hinges instead of screws, which makes them hold up really well. I consider them both BIFL brands that are infinitely better than that luxotica crap.
Highly recommended!

Meaning the arms can spring out by themselve?
Having a hard time understand that.
Warby Parker glasses hold up well, are reasonably priced and arenβt owned by Luxottica
The non Luxottica link is my main driver of all things glasses
I worked in a Costa del Mar warehouse once. The generic shades were $20, and right next to the brand name shades ($200). The brand name might have had some invisible enhancement, but they looked exactly the same to me besides the logo embossed into them. Both were polarized and mirrored exactly the same way.
What I'm saying is this: buy cheap generic ones. If you must have that logo, glue one on or something. I don't understand brand worship.
Anyone own a pair of Heatwaves?
I'm hoping for an honest review before I drop $80
Ive had some really solid pair that lasted a long time till i lost them. So i bought the same one again
I was gonna say pit vipers but theyβre American.
You should get some vipes anyway, they make a safety rated ballistic pair.
Once I had a pair bought from someone on eBay break on me and they just wanted to confirm there was a joke written on the frame before sending a replacement pair for free. I think I had to pay shipping or something but standing behind an eBay purchase from a third party is cool.
