AaronM Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I'm looking to buy a good pair of polarized sunglasses for river/lake fishing. I just got back from flyfishing in Montana and found out first hand how valuable a good pair is. I want to try stay away from the price of something like Costa's if I can find something good cheaper. Thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bschmitty83 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 There's a Sunglasses thread in the Bass forum that offers some pretty good info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charley Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Walmart sells polarized sunglasses. And Joe's sportinging goods in St.Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esox_Magnum Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Having stepped up to good glasses in the past couple years I like the H30's and love my Ocean Waves. IMO WalMart and quality don't belong in the same book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnAFly Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I bought a pair of H3Os last year and I love them. I had a pair of cheap $20 sunglasses before that and I can tell the difference. For $100 they considerably cheaper than a lot of other brands, plus you get 3 lens types which actually do come in handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esox_Magnum Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I ran cheapies for years not thinking there was much of a difference. I was wrong, when you spend near 150 days on the ice and water a season spending $100 or $200 on a good pair is a cheap investment. I like the ability to quickly change lenses due to changing light conditions, but the Ocean Waves in Backwater green seem to cover most the bases. I carry both when Muskie fishing so I have 4 choices no matter what the conditions. I rearley even wear cheapies for work anymore, the eye strain by days end starts getting to me.

Fish Head Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 A little over a year ago I purchased a pair of Native sunglasses on sale. They were originally $130, but I got them half price in December. They are definitely a step up from the cheap $20 pairs I was using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EyesnSchnapps Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Take a look at Willey X. They are the best pair of polarized glasses I have ever owned. They run right around $80.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walleyepro Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I wear prescription glasses and would like to find a pair of polarized glasses to put over my glasses. So far i've just used cheapos. Any recommendations? the other option i guess would be to get a good pair of sunglasses w/ my prescription - might be the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esox_Magnum Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Depending how big your RX frames are, you may find a normal pair to fit over them. I wear H30 Tsunamis and Ocean Wave Nassua's over my RX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slurpie Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 My brother uses Native and they are nice. I am an Oakley fan no better glasses period. After you spend money on a good pair cheapos dont cut it no more, and you will take care of them cause they cost so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
