That must mean I'll be able to catch as many fish as you... It's all in the shades

[Deitz Dittrich]

Dude,, way more! ;-)

dietz is right, theres nothing better then having them on to see more in the water. I wear Natives, and have loved them ever since i have had them.

I'm in the boat with the people who use expensive fishing equipment while using $10 glasses. I've been planning on getting a new pair, but I always seem to find something "more fun" to buy. I can't remember where I heard about them, but someone had reccomended buying a pair of Solarbats. Anyone try these?

Well here's a stupid question regarding eyewear. I was browsing through the sunglass rack at a discount store and found a quality pair at a HUGE price reduction. They didn't say that they were polarized so I didn't bother. Is it safe to say that if a pair of glasses are not labeled polarized that they aren't? Or is being polarized a common characteristic of quality sunglasses?

Hard to say.. but there is an easy check to see if a pair of glasses are polarized or not... take a pair that is known to be polarized and hold the 2 pair perpendicular to each other so one pair of glasses are horiz.. the other vert... if both lenses are polarized you should not be able to see through them. , or its ultra dark... if either or neither are polarized you should be able to see though both lense just fine.

I have a pair of Costa del Mar Wave Killers and a pair of Oakley Half Jackets. The Wave Killers are glass and heavy, but nice viewing. The Oakleys are very light, but not polarized.

dude, you need to get some polarized shades man.

Even my cheap ones made a world of difference as far as being able to see in the water. I can't wait to see how the new ones work.
