Literally only item at the $38 price:
Ray-Ban Kid's Rj9506s Aviator Sunglasses

Everything else is $65+

These click-baity (BS "starting at" price listings) posts are getting to be SD Staff standard.

I mentioned kids in title, I always posted starting lowest point price from multiple products past 10 years in the forums. I did include the highest price-point in title and not trying to do clickbait, I'm not like that Smilie

I used to be an optician. Luxottica, the devil of the eye world, has owned ray ban, oakley, and basically half of all frames and sunglasses and even eye insurances. Recently bought Costa. Ray ban lenses are garbage in my opinion. Costa 580p ones are nice. My favorite lenses of all time are from a cheap pair of polaroid glasses, the creator of polarized lenses. Glass are nice but I am not sure how people wear them all day. I recently broke a temple on my coatas. Had to pay to ship them in but they shipped me a brand new pair with real 580p lenses. I scratch the original black ones and wanted brown so I put a cheap pair of brown lenses in them. So customer service seemed good.

That is incorrect. Amazon purchased Woot, much like Zappos, for large piles of cash.

Amazon deserves no credit for thinking up Woot, especially since they pushed it to transition away from its 'just a few amazing deals' roots towards the modern long list of 'deals that are mostly just meh'.

You do know meh.com is essentially what woot was back in the day? Same people who started woot and sold out to Amazon now run meh.

I used to have Costa Poly len's, they delaminated after a couple years (wrinkling between the layers). I'd go Smith poly len's before Costa poly

just fyi

Thanks. I understand that and agree G is the way to go.

Problem is it's not clear on woot using mobile what lenses you are getting. But I figured it out. Anything with MSRP of $249 is glass and $200 is plastic.
Easier way is just to use the "color" drop down for the style you want. The glass lenses all say "glass" in that field.

I was surprised to see the 580g Ocearch affiliated Half Moon style still available. I've been looking for some shades with polarized glass lenses that can solidly stay on my face while constantly looking down and chasing a toddler. These seem to be nicely functional in that sense without looking like full sport wrap-around style.

This will be my first Costa pair of glasses. Hopefully they hold up better than my plastic lens polarized Revo glasses that they're replacing. The titanium frames are still great, but the lenses are full of strange little micro cracks in the corners, I'm guessing from leaving them in the car on hot days? And the finish is rubbing off where the arms contact the lenses when folded. Both reasons I'm sticking with glass.

It's funny that everyone is so dismissive of the Ray Bans in this deal. I love my Ray Ban Ultras from ten years or so ago (one of favorite SD finds, actually), but it's nearly impossible to find Ray Bans of that quality anymore, and I'm tired of feeling them slipping off my face when chasing the kid, especially in mask situations.

Sorry clarity of glass excels over polycarbonate. Yes they can shatter easier than poly, but how often does that occur?

Set an alert for an eyedictive deal on a pair of Randolph aviators or concordes. They occasionally have them sub$100, and the optics are just pristine - far better than glass ray-bans to my eyes. I have a pair I bought at full price and a pair from eyedictive, and the latter are definitely the real deal.

Quote from MX400ex72 :
Can anyone comment on how scratch resistant the plastic lens costa's are?

I have glass and they are essentially scratch proof. I have other plastic lens glasses and while I do take care to not scratch them, they are. Are the Costa plastic lenses any better than other plastic lenses.
I've got both. Glass=scratch resistance. Plastic=impact resistance. Glass is supposed to be clearer but I haven't noticed a difference(could be that my plastic pairs are green and amber and my glass is gray). As far as scratch resistance goes, the green plastic pair is my 2yo sons favorite and no matter where I hide them or how high I put them, he'll find them and run through the house with them on until he sees me and throws them. No noticeable scratches when wearing nor from further than ~5" from outside. I've had that pair about 2.5 years

Are we best friends now? Haven't seen an eyedictive Randolph deal in over a year and I need more. Best sunglasses, period.

Sorry if I can't really be of service.
Most of these brands are owned by Luxx (as mentioned previously).
I can't really recommend any one particular brand.
To be honest, I don't even know why I hit the RE: button.
Hope this helps, however...

I still have a pair of Randolph Ranger XL and 3 lens kit. I shoot competition and their quality is unsurpassed. Another top tier mfg is Decot.

How do you know if the lens is actually glass?
