What are some items that you have bought, and have lasted a really long time, or have solid lifetime warranties?

I realized I don't think I have anything I would put into that category, and I would like to change that. Most of my stuff comes straight from the Amazon recommended section, and realistically probably won't last more than 5 years :(

Those damn gas station sunglasses I’ve had for like 15 years. Still good enough that I haven’t replaced them…

Seriously though,

I think the BIFL movement overvalues brands.

Looking for quality and intentionally buying something you like that will be with you for years is more important to me.

Buy less, repair it, use it longer.

I bought a 3 pack of wayfarer sunglasses on Amazon for like $20 like 5 years ago figuring wouldn't matter if I lost them or they broke. Still have them and they're still in good shape.
