Metal frames aren't for everyone, but for mine, I always look for frames made of titanium which have proven to me to be very resilient.

Seconding the arms loosening. OP you might benefit from getting wider frames that fit your face better. That way the arms don’t wear out as fast

Since your prescription changes as you age, glasses are not quite buy it for life.

If your prescription is low, buy online. I get my new glasses at $40 a go and I can afford extra as I am fatally clumsy. You have to custom mold them on your own, so there are videos on how to do so with a blow dryer.

Zenni optical is where I go and I have not had a miss yet.

Corelle is glass but very light , shatter resistant, and available in single pieces at Walmart

Are they falling off your face cus they're broken or because over time the arms have widened or the curve has loosened behind the ear?

I used to be an optician with Costco and even really good frames have this happen. After several months they start falling and slipping due to a multitude of factors that an optician can generally do a simple reshaping/fitting and get them back to where they need to be.

If they're plastic frames, the plastic can become malleable after wearing them all day and being on your hot head, loosening a previous fitting if you ever had that done. As well if you take them off with one hand you can be stretching out one side as you drag the arm across your head to take them off. This is something I generally educated anyone when buying a plastic frames, it's not uncommon to need to get it refitted every now n then, while also showing them to take them off with two hands as they can mishape them or damage a hinge over time.

If you're wanting something to hold it's shape, you want a metal frame. Metal frames generally aren't as fashionable but they retain shape better. You can get silicone nose pieces too so that they have better traction on your nose and don't just slide like the hard plastic pieces that come standard on most frames. To make sure all of that works though, need to make sure they're properly fitted.

As far as a specific brand to recommend I don't really have advise there. Only ones i'd advise to avoid would be any plastic frames that are a very rigid plastic just because they tend to break easier when dropped or caught on something instead of just bending the frame out of shape slightly.

Specifically, the cheaper HDPE "cloudy" Nalgene bottles are BIFL. The clear ones will punch through if you drop em just right. HDPE bottles will bounce. Also widely agreed to be 100% food safe.

Oh I have no idea!?

If you’re interested in metal but want lightweight, I really like Sigg aluminium Traveller bottles. Had a couple for years before they eventually dented enough to leak

Nalgene will last you decades and aren’t expensive.

Your budget needn’t be anywhere near £50. That’s ludicrous money for a water bottle.

Look for pair with a durable hinge

I prefer all metal for health reasons too (also because I drink hot liquids I want to keep insulated)

Same is true with metal. I also prefer metal over plastic for health reasons.

I've had very good luck with my hydroflask. It's been with me hiking, archeological sites, and just about everywhere else. I've dropped it a few times and it's dented when dropped on a hard floor, but it's stuck by me and keeps water nice and cool. I'm also partial to yeti, but to me the design doesn't seem quite as sturdy when it comes to drops and dents

EDIT: I've had my hydroflask since 2016

Yetis are great but they're not indestructible.

A good enough drop or toss can break the cap or dent the threaded part of the metal and render the seal unreliable.

Absolutely Nalgene. I left mine on the bumper of my truck once and drove off. Was super bummed about losing it, but spotted it on the side of the road on my way back to that job the next day. I know I was going at least 35mph where it was. Just a few scratches.

I guess as long as it's all cosmetic it doesn't matter

I'm not sure about your particular fashion sense, but I've had great luck with Radians sunglasses. They're technically safety glasses, but they're polarized, cheap, and I've never had a pair get broken. Some of the styles are more regular sunglass-looking than others, but you can probably find a set you like.

I got my current ones from Costco about 2 years ago, still working great. I think all in they were about $130. Unfortunately my prescription is too high now to get mine at Costco anymore. (High astigmatism)

My previous pair at a typical eye place (5 years prior) were at least $400. So my current pair is literally the reason I started my Costco membership, worth the membership alone

Plastic gets scuffed up also

Garret Leight have been my longest lasting pair. Pricey but worth it.

Guessing merino wool. Merino is soft and doesn’t shrink as much sometimes. Wooly brand has hoodies. Duckworth is higher end and all made in USA.

Definitely not anything against the product. If I've gone through three caps in fifteen years I'd call that a win. I'd consider the caps a wear product over time as it's the only moving part.
