2 things I'll never own- a Yeti cooler and Costa del Mar sunglasses! $9 Walmart clip-ons and Igloo coolers for me!! rotfl
These are the ones I use. Polarized with Bi-Focals.
Amazon.com
$26 The wrap-around really cuts the side glare. I can see fish well for the price.
As long as they’re polarized, it probably really don’t matter mine are prescription Oakley‘s polarized!
I got a 5 year old pair of oakleys but I wear 3.00. Tinted safety glasses every day. Lol
cheapskate!!!
I wear some cheap tinted safety glasses that we had to wear at my last job. I had a dozen pairs left when i switched jobs & will order the same ones when i need more.
Too funny, the Oakley rep is a Bud, I taught him how to catch the Mule Speckled Trout we get here in winter so he buries me in glasses. I have to use the stick-on bifocals to wear them. I went back to the previous post's shades with the built in bifocal.Quote:

I went to the eye doctor a few years ago and read the 20/30 chart for the nurse. Well when the doctor came in he didn't believe it and tested me again. The explanative he used to ask me why I was there I can't repeat CrappiePappy will censor me. :Rofl
Anyway I was born with 2 mud flaps over my eyes, I could pull the lid down and touch my cheek with it. Once I pulled out all that excess skin He knew exactly why I was there. One of the best eye surgeons for that BTW. 15 minutes and you look like your wife worked you over for a couple of weeks. I didn't realize how much the oversized eye lids were hanging down obstructing my vision.
Thanks. I have also been trying to wear sunglasses every time i am outside, for about 10 years now. Tired of buying 5 pairs of kastking every year due to scratches from use. Have been eyeing some good ones for a while, just dont want to spend that kind of money and not wear them. Ive been getting mirrored green lenses from kastking latelyQuote:

The one in my truck is what I also use when fishing (when I don’t wear my prescription sunglasses instead), while the others are tuned for driving and stays in my wife’s vehicle, which is normally our travel vehicle anyway. I had been a Ray Ban green-gray polarized lens wearer until I stopped wearing contacts for about 5 years and wore progressive lens glasses and prescription sunglasses until I realized that buying prescription snorkeling masks was going to be stupidly expensive.
We wear throw away yum sunglasses, super cheap and disposable.
Glasses of all sorts in our house , most end up broken or lost ….
A dozen or more pairs for the price of one is how we play
I used to go through several pair of cheap sunglasses every year. In 2001 I splurged and spent $180 on a pair of Ocean Waves even though wife said I was going to break them in a week. When you spend that kind of money you take better care of them. 25 years later they are still in use. Broke one lens and had it replaced, just had to pay shipping costs. Bought Costas as a back up while waiting and have two pair of quality sunglasses now. I'm set for life.
Oakleys do scratch easy. If you're use to caring for glass lenses you have to change your game with plastic, coated lenses. They are so much lighter. No straps around the back of the head like heavier glass lens units. I have a pair of Maui Jims that are 25 years old and still look great. No Bi-focal, no tying a quick fishing knot. I gave up 10 years ago carrying glasses to tie a knot.Quote:

When its bright and sunny, it’s like I can feel my eyes relaxing after put on a pair of polarized sun glasses.
