Sunglasses

[catman71]

I have a pair of Maui Jim's that are finally scratched enough to replace. I liked them but the lenses are shaped in such a way I would get alot of glare off my cheek or when the sun is behind me. What is a good pair of polorized glasses? Any suggestions?

[Random guy]

I have a couple pair of Costa DelMar wave killers in the brown polorized. I really like them they seem to relly give me that x-ray vision a muskie angler needs and I haven't scratched them yet and I'm super clutz. I have also heard good things about the H30 line, I think those are the ones with the changable lens. I also tried a pair of Ocean Waves glasses that had good color and polarizing but they wouldn't fit my fat head.

I have Maui Jim's and love 'em. Not sure if they're worth the $$$, but I got a great deal on mine and they're definitely worth the price I paid.

I ahve a pair of H30's and I love them. They are light and comfortable to wear all day. I would never hit the water without them.

Action Optics, by Smith, the Evolution style. I get headaches from heavy glasses but these are all titanium with lightweight lenses w/latest technology polarization. At Thorne Bros./Fly Angler. A buck eighty though.

I wear the Costa Del Mar "Wave Killers" in both standard gray, and blue mirror lenses. They are great equipment (a bit spendy, but truly worth it). If you go this way, I recommend you avoid the green mirror finish, as it overly darkens the environment to a point where it's tough to see anything. The H3O Tsunamis, seen in "Musky Hunter" magazine,are a great deal! Three sets of lenses in a light weight, wrap around frame for $100.00. One gripe about my current pair that I bought in Feb. of this year, though, the rubber coating on the frame is peeling in many spots. There's no functional damage, but they look ratty.

I have a pair of Native Eyewear A.S.A.P(All Sports All Polarized) model Dash SS with the interchangable lens. Very nice, light wieght and excellent quality. Customer Service is second to none also, I had to send them in this spring and had a new pair in week. I think Gander Mountain carries them. Check them out

I go back and forth with this. I was able to use some medflex money to buy a pair of $200 Maui Jims, I really liked them, but they broke three times (MJ replaced every time for $8.95). I decided to trade up to the $300 pair, they are now sitting in the case.....broken. I guess I'm hard on the shades, but funny... the walmart $12.99 pair are unbreakable. I think I will claim my warranty on the $300 pair and unload them on hsolist. It's not worth the trouble and the I didn't see a whole lot of difference.

I really like my Wal-Mart shades 14.99, I think they are renegades.They work well, very light weight and who cares if they get scratched or broken, because they are cheap enough to get new ones.

Hey CommonScence,

Just wondering where you purchsed your H3O's, Ive been wanting to try them out. I've called them to ask for a local vendor- they couldn't answer my question!

[RuKiddingMe]

FishinPunk, you can get them out of the MuskyHunter magazine. That's the only place I've seen them.

Oakley makes a pair called half jackets where you can change the lenses. I just got the gold polarized and love em. They have a bunch of diffenrt lenses you can buy so if they get scratched up - just get new lenses. Great concept.

I love my Fish Eyes sunglasses... only $9.99 at Gander Mountain

The Oakley polarized are awesome. But after having 3 pairs of my Oakleys fall to the bottom of the lake during a release and zooming to the boat landing, i wont buy another pair of expensive fishing glasses until I graduate from college and start to make some real money. I have a pair of $15 glasses that work great and I wont get [PoorWordUsage]ed if they fly out of the boat.

YOu can get them at Gander or where ever. I know a guy in the optics industry and I got mine at cost. Amd I could get more...

[FishinPunk]

I tried Gander in Lakeville about 2 months ago w/no luck?

I guess I'll try again, thanks for the info.

What color lenses do you guys prefer? Different color for different light conditions?

[Random guy]

I like they brown or gold color. It seems to cut the glare without the dark effect.

[NE angler]

Same here, I tried the titanium but did not like as well and not worth the extra $10 bucks.

I have Oakley Half Jacket XLJ and am very impressed. I have polarized lenses that will help illuminate on darker days yellow and purple which are polarized in amber which brings out the weeds. I also have a set of frosted white (dark days) and green both polarized in gray which bring out fish. All the lenses are interchangable and durable.
