Title: sun glasses
Post by jaximus on May 18th, 2014 at 1:17am
lets discuss polarized sunglasses for sight fishing.

i started wearing reading type glasses at work, they dont magnify or do anything aside from reduce glare from the computer screens. i work 911 dispatch and have 7 screens at my station working 12 hour shifts. i had been getting headaches and it turns out it was from the glare.

so it got me thinking... ive been using pretty cheap walmart clearance bin style polarized fishing glasses and in all honesty, they dont work very well, but i was being cheap.

im still young, but im coming to realize that i only get one body and one pair of eyes/ears, so i should protect them better. i wear ear muffs for mowing the lawn/snow blowing, but i never really wear sunglasses and i know i should.

ive heard costa and oakley make some top notch eyewear, but are they really worth the nearly $200 price tag.  what do you guys use?

a lot of my officer friends swear by their oakleys, some fish, they all shoot, and a lot of them ride motorcycles, so they have a pretty wide array of experience

whats your take on lens colors also?
