good sunglasses?

[speck-chaser]

Looking for some good glasses to wear while fishing. I always seem to get headaches from wearing glasses all day fishing. Ive never really tried the higher ends because I didnt want to spend the money and end up still with the headaches. The only Pair Ive worn for a good while w/o headaches,is a pair my mom gave me from hawaii,called maui jims,but they are a little dressy to wear fishing. My brother in law just bought a pair of wiley x. Anyone know anything about these? Supposed to be military specs and supposed to be great. Ive heard lots of you rave about the costas too. Just wondering what yalls thoughts are. tanx

main thing Im worried about is the headache situation. Not sure if its from the wind,the arms of the glasses against my temples or what

maui jims or costas are what i have used for 5 or 6 years...like Bruce said I wish i bought them a long time ago.... Its all about what fits your face right

u prolly right pox, it might just be the cheaper glasses that I wear fishing. I havent worn the maui jims fishing,wasnt sure if they would hold up to the salt water.

Oh they will hold up for sure. I sent Maui Jim an email specifically asking about that because I had some natives that got tore up in the saltwater. Only reason i bought some costas was i found some on steepandcheep for $65 with interchangeable lenses and i like the amber lens better I still rock the maui jims on really bright days

are you drinking enough?

I try to stay hydrated.

i have the oakley half jackets with polarized lenses, this is my second pair of lenses and as long as I dont break my frames or they quit selling lenses im sticking with them. Still hard to say if it would help with your headaches.

[speck-chaser]

I can wear the shades for a while,but hafta take em off and on during the course of the day. Just get tired of squinting all day

yea costas are the way. honestly though, I had a pair of 400 costas and they were great. I bought a new pair of 580s cuz the frame fit a little better and if im not fishing, I really dont wear them cuz the lenses mess with my eyes. I cant really explain what they do but I just had more visual comfort wearing the 400s. I can wear either one on the water all day but off the water is where I notice the difference.

I know that sounds nuts but has anyone else experienced something similar?

[FF_T_Warren]

oh and btw make sure you dont get lil cool looking metal frame ones. while off the water riding in your vehicle those are great and cool but they dont cut it riding in a boat, wind whips all around em into your eyes

i have oakleys and love them but i don't like taking them fishing. i seem to loose stuff. i bought a pair from academy the other day that i lost this weekend they were 9.99. they were very comfortable. i am very picky about my glasses. i get headaches too if they fit me to tight or the nose piece is to tight ( the nose piece is a big deal they have to be very light for me)
