Problem with sunglasses

Ladies and gentlemen, I have to admit a predicament with sunglasses. I am a serial sunglass killer. Not that I buy the €€€ models of the <insert your favourite brand>, I simply pay attention to every supermarket (or fleamarket) rack of sunglasses, and once in a while I find a fairly decent pair going for a song, but they don't last long. In recent months, I remember sitting down on two pairs, crashing one pair in the aeroplane seat mechanism, breaking one pair in half when trying to readjust the frame, etc. Nothing bad ever happens to the glass, it's the frame that always suffers. Is anyone aware of any super-heavy-duty frames on the market that have thin cable temples (necessarily thin so as not to cause headaches with the headset), roughly Rayban-like in design, and made of shape-memory alloy, so they'd recover their shape when heated?
