I bought these in May of 2014 and in the first month, after mowing the lawn, one of the lenses became permanently scratched. After this event, I babied them, yet they still accumulated scratches. Just three weeks ago, one of the rubber pieces that contacts the nose came off. Also, the Tifosi writing on the lens is wearing off. Mind you, I have babied these since a month after buying them due to the scratch from the lawn mower. I thought sunglasses are supposed to last longer than a year.
