whats with all the different colors? are some better for cloudy days vs. sunny days? I lost my cocoons last week and need to buy another pair. I had gray lenses. I can choose from gray, copper, and yellow. im thinking about buying 2 pairs.

From my experience I find grey are best on days that the sun is out and yellow/copper seems to be better on cloudy days and low light conditions. I have both but find myself wearing the grey more often even if its cloudy. My grey are also a much lighter frame and more comfortable to wear. If I could only have one pair it would be grey but there are times I wish I had the copper with me.

Good Fishing!

Do you think that's why you find yourself wearing them more often? I've heard many people say copper base is the best "all around" lens. Only curious because I was about to pull the trigger on some Silver Mirror Costa's which have a copper base.

Since most of us fish from 5 or 6 am to early afternoon, I agree that amber lenses are the best all around lense. I'd get a high quality pair of amber, and a cheaper pair of grey. I use both, and usually switch around 10 am on sunny days, and wear the ambers all day on overcast days.

I have the costa vermillion lense for my low light conditions pair and some dark oakleys for bright sun. I feel like a cheap pair of dark lenses would be fine, but make sure whatever you get has good uv protection.

Yes Craigums that is exactly why. My grey are Maui Jim's with the titanium frame very light. My amber are Raybans much heavier frame. Both are polarized with UV protection and good glasses I just find the grey more comfortable.

Good Fishing!

I bought some Strike King polars at Capra's for $40. I would give them a 7/10. They were comfortable, but scratched easily and were only good when it was bright sun/clear water.
