The last thing I bought that fits this description was a new pair of ski goggles. The cheap $20 Chinese ones work great as far as I can tell. The local stores start at around $150. Am I missing something? I had a lot of fun with the $130 of easy money.

How do you know the Chinese ones provide you with UV protection? Eyewear is one of the things I won't buy online because I don't trust the online stores to check that their stock meets regulations.

There's some things that the $150 goggles might have that the cheap ones don't (anti-fogging, UV protection, durability etc). Or they're just marked up, who knows.

Presumably the brand name goggles are made by the same brands that sell $150 sunglasses. Are there differences? Probably. But they’ll probably also still fog at least based on my past experience. Maybe they’re better these days.
