Tips on ski sunglasses

ise,

Thank you for that scientific explanation. The problem is not many of the more expensive products on the market, back up their marketing with the science. Could that be because they are not really superior, but hang on a 'name'.

If you applied that to everything you bought you would end up with some amount of rubbish. Sure it is the law of diminishing returns + some brands may not be worth the cash but plenty sure are.

You get what you pay for in life. Simple as that.

No Tony, I'm afraid you don't always do.

I subscribe to the saying 'Buy cheap, buy twice', which I find is largely true, but I'm afraid the converse is nowhere near so true.

Totally disagree. Whenever I have paid cheap prices, I have had low quality.
What I do buy into is buying expensive stuff at cheap prices. Some brand names do actually make better quality gear, the secret is getting hold of it for cheap prices.
Buying cheap stuff twice is not only a false economy, but a waste of time and resources.

No, no Tony! You have misunderstood the saying.

The saying supports your philosophy, (and mine). If you buy a cheap product, then you are more likely to HAVE to buy another fairly soon, not necessarily cheap the second time. In other words - it's a false economy.

My whole argument is that you don't necessarily buy good value, when you pay exorbitantly for a 'brand' name.

I see, fair enough.
