I'm waring a pair from goggles4u as I right this. I've had them about three years and the anti-reflection is as good as new. They've also been through being hit with a football and wrestling with or being tackled by now 13 year old. The lenses are as good as new; no scratches or dis-colorization. They are plastic frames though.
