Best/Favorite polarized sunglasses 2024
VABassin'14 reply :
Who makes the best, or your favorite polarized sunglasses. I had a pair of the Bill Dance edition Strike King glasses, but they broke and I need to replace them. I thought it would be a good idea to ask around about them before going out and buying a new pair.

I used to think Solar Bats were great untill I used a pair of Costas. I love them.
Thad reply :
Another vote for Costa.
seyone reply :
Most importantly buy yourself a good pair. Many people on this site like costa's and I may someday get a pair. Right now I have wiley x P17's and I like them.

Costa Del Mar...You will notice the difference between a good pair of sunglasses and a cheap pair at the end of the day on the water.

fathom reply :
costa del mar 580 fathom's here.
make sure you try on the different models...the fathom's may not be the right fit for all folks.
Marc David reply :
I also have a pair of Costa's fathoms. Best sunglasses I've owned.
tnbassfisher reply :
I went through a ton of cheap ones until I got a pair of Costas last Christmas. I love them. Wish I would have gotten the 580 lenses, though.
burleytog reply :
Costa or Maui Jim. I prefer Costa due to their earpiece design (I hate straight earpieces).
Find a quality retailer and try on several different pairs. Don't buy blind.
The main selling point for the CDM's is the 400 or 580 glass lens. They will not scratch and the optical quality of the glass is second to none. My wife has a pair of MJ's and while they're very nice, I don't care for the poly lens.

Costa Del Mar. Swordfish 480's. Love em. They can be made for prescriptions too. Rather expensive though @ $200.

midnighthrasher reply :
According to my neighbor who is a optometrist and a eye surgeon Oakley sunglasses are bar non the best sunglasses you can put on your head. He swears by them and says that the amount of technology that goes into every Oakley lense is amazing. His opinion led me to buy a pair of oakley straight's and i love them. I have never tried anything else but my vote will definetly go to Oakley due to his opinion.

If you can't afford an expensive pair, I really like the Strike King Ice glasses. I also have a pair of Wiley X P17's and really like them but I haven't had them long.

BassnMan Mike reply :
Another vote for Oakleys. I've got a set of Polarized A-Frames and a set of Polarized Flak Jacket XLJ's and love them both.

I have a pair of wiley-x p17 and a pair of wiley-x jake
VABassin'14 reply :
Well, I already have a pair of Oakley half jackets so I will probably just end up getting a set of polarized lenses for them. That was the direction I was leaning in, and thats what I will probably end up getting. Thanks everyone for your information and opinions.
bassattackerdad reply :
Smith Optics make the best polarized fishing glasses out there. Many of the models are actually real glass. That's why they call them sunglasses, not sunplastics

Like rods and reels no one has tried all the brands of sunglasses, but some brands are well-known for quality. That's where I would start looking.
Personally, I am far-sighted so my vision is hawk-like at distance but I need corrective lenses for tying knots. My eye doctor sells Maui Jims and they are high quality so that is what I use. I can't speak for any other brands but I've heard a lot of good comments about Oakley, Costa, mid to high priced Solar Bats, and Maui Jims.
1inStripes reply :
I have a pair of Maui Jims that are very comfortable and provide great definition.

I went to a local outdoor store, well more like a camping supply store, and they had a bunch of Native sunglasses in a display. I tried a few pairs on and loved them. They made my Oakley's look like a middle of the pack pair of sunglasses. LOVE THEM!!! Never mind what I said about just getting Oakley replacement lenses. Hard and cloth carrying case, extra pair of lenses, strap, amazing lenses, great buy at $125. O yeah, I almost forgot about the LIFE TIME WARRANTY.

RockvilleMDAngler reply :
I used a pair of Wiley X XL-1 this year and overall they were pretty good. I could see into the water extremely well with them but I did notice them fogging up, especially with the foam insert. Eventually I stopped using the insert except for when the glare was so high that it was worth the fogging to put them in. Towards the end of the season the straight earpiece started to give me headaches and irritate my ear.
My brother-in-law just got me a pair of Costas for Christmas and I can't wait to try them out. They are much more comfortable than the Wiley X glasses, hopefully they don't fog up. I will keep and use both sets as they have different color lenses but I think the Costas will become my #1 seed due to the comfort.
