Preferred Polarized sunglasses

[cajunblaze]

I usually don't wear sunglasses, but getting into bay fishing, figure I better get a good pair of polarized glasses. I would hate to lose them and be out of 180.00. (I know they make those trap things)

What is you're favorite glasses,(make and model) and do you know of any good cheap pairs that you wouldn't mind losing, but have good quality.

Any Costa

Pretty much Costas is all I wear anymore. I have several different kinds. I used to buy the cheaper ones and loose or break a pair or 2 a year. When I went to the more expensive ones, I tend to take better care of them and they have a lifetime warranty.

Calcutta(sp?) $15 for cheap and for good ones I have two pair Costa 580g lens that were regular $250 but I only paid $75 for one pair on eBay and others on steep and cheap.

Best lens, UV protection, clarity and relief from squinting are Costas in my opinion. But their frames are lacking.

Ive been using costas, on my 3rd pair. Love the way they look and great lenses. I would agree the frames could use some work. Last two pairs the frames straightened on me.

Leaving them in a vehicle on a hot summer day will do this for sure!

This happened to me. Also bent some when they were in my pocket, also broke a hinge on the arms.

Have had same pr. of costa's for more than 10 years and still love them! Costa (Wave killer) made for larger faces. strongly suggest glass lenses if you can handle the weight of glasses lens. You can clean them with end of shirt and never get scratched. My frame did break once but very inexpensive to send off for repair.(like $30 I think) but it was my fault they broke and they fixed them up no questions asked. Pick up a Costa brochure and pick a frame size sm, med, or large to fit your size face. You will not be sorry you spent the extra $ in the long run if you take care of them.

Been using costa for years but recently bought some wiley x with the foam around the inside of the frame. Very nice glasses and not as expensive as the costas.

Bingo!! I bought a pair of yellow lensed Kaenon's last year and love em'. For early morning to mid-day they can't be beat. I do switch to Costa's once the sun is in full gear only because I don't have darker shaded Kaenon's...

Great sunglasses, Ive had mine for about 3 years now and they are honestly some of the toughest frames Ive ever had

Maui Jim's are good too. I used to buy cheap ones but quality made me switch to the more expensive ones. I also own two pairs of costas

Ive been thinking about trying a pair of those. Does the foam insert really help? I like to sight fish for reds and bedding bass.

The foam is for keeping dust and wind out of your eyes, sight fishing your better off with a wider framed costa that blocks the sunlight from sides and tops

We have the Wiley Xs at work, I'm not impressed

Hmm... on the wiley x website and on their commercial they say the foam is to block the sun Around the outside of the frame. So u can pennetrate the surface of the water better. Idk

Go try Costa Blackfins, they will block way more light out and have bigger lens for better visibility than Harpoons

I have a pair of the blackfins I prefer the wiley x now. The blackfins are nice but the weight of them gets uncomfortable fishing all day. This is the model I bought....http://www.wileyx.com/EcommSuite/Pro...emCode=CCJAK06
