Got these for $7.50 Canadian with free shipping that took about a week. So far I’m really impressed, photochromic change occurs in seconds and the overall quality feels solid. Brand is SCVCN (clearly a take/knockoff of Scion). I know the ethics of Aliexpress are shady af, but they sure seem a lot better than $20 Walmart equivalents.
We’re living in a golden era of cheap quality Chinese goods.
Once aliexpress/China takes over the world I’m sure high prices will follow (see Uber).

AliExpress has tons of great options for cycling accessories. As long as you do your research there’s nothing wrong with not overpaying for $200 sunnies.
I will say the Oakley copies came with all the Oakley branding but the quality was low, the inserts on the side of the glasses with the O popped out on me and the plastic feels cheap but work fine and came with 6 different lenses for cheap.
Better off looking at legit companies like Rockbros etc if you don’t want super low quality.
But are those lenses shatterproof… the thought of a bit of sharp plastic in the eyeball at the first pebble that hits them would make me uncomfortable.
