What Sunglasses Do You Wear? 2024
Ineedanewscreenname2315 reply :
I personally utilize Solar Bat sunglasses, I've found that they are the best quality for the price, and definitely stand up to the abuse I put em through and I'm very tough on gear. So what do you use?
geo g reply :
Costa's!
ward131 reply :
I wear prescriptions. I just bought my first pair of sun glasses with my prescription and bi-focal lens so I can tie knots! I don't recall the name brand, just what was on sale by one get one free. And they are polarized!
EmersonFish reply :
I tend to buy cheaper glasses, like Strike Kings or Peppers, because I lose or break them so frequently I can't justify the expense of higher quality ones. Perhaps if I invested in some very nice ones, I'd really take care of them and save money in the long run, but I doubt it would turn out that way.

This. I'm the same way with normal sunglasses. I buy a box of nemisis glasses from fastenal (12 in a box) for $54. I break them and lose them so often its silly to spend the money on a real nice set.
buzzed bait reply :
i was using cheap $5 or $10 berkleys and was happy with them as i tend to be hard on sunglasses.
however, i received a pair of costas as a gift from the wife and really like them. i take good care of them knowing how much they were, but also am comfortable knowing they have a lifetime warranty. from what i've heard from friends, they stand behind the warranty too, so that's reassuring.
also, the previous glasses were good, but after wearing the costas i can clearly see the difference as the costas are phenomenal for seeing under water.

I wear some cheaper ones from Eyegogs. I'd really love to get some Costas or Oakleys though.

Also have a pair of Wiley X and the cheap Wal-Mart sunglasses for bank fishing or anything where my glasses might get scratched or damaged.

Steveo-1969 reply :
I wear Strike King S11s with amber lenses. I'm really intrigued about Costas though, I've heard so many people say the ability to see underwater is incredible.
boostr reply :
Reflekt Torrent polorized with brown lenses. 89 bucks with a pretty good warranty. You lose them they will replace them for free once They get damaged even just a scratch on the lenses you pay 30 bucks, and send them the damaged pair, they send you a new pair. I just checked their site, and they now sell floating versions of their different models.

BassmanDan reply :
I just got my 5th pair of Costa's...Blackfin in 580G blue mirror. I've always worn the green mirror and it really makes colors pop but the blue lens keeps my eyes more relaxed with less fatigue at the end of the day. I have one pair of Silver mirror and they are worth a look also. Their glass lenses can be heavy in some frames but these are not a bad weight and block all peripheral light which is a pet peeve of mine. Plus I got them in that new mossy oak camo frame so the bass will never see me coming.
COME ON SPRING!!!!

tennsopher reply :
I have had Natives,Solarbat,Wileyx,Sk11's,Kaenon and Costa sunglasses.For me the Costas can't be beat.The sun here in Florida can be visciuos at times and these are the best for me.For you guys that have the SK11's,never wipe them with a dry cloth; my buddy and I have both ruined a pair doing this.
papajoe222 reply :
My favorite are a pair of WileyX that I added stick on bi-focals to. The other pair I like is Oakley Half Jackets because of the ability to change lenses to match changing conditions.
LittleBob reply :
I have a pair of oakley half jackets that I love
Scott F reply :
I wish I could find a good pair of sunglasses that have relatively flat lenses. I have some sort of astigmatism that my eye doctor says is common, where the more a lens is curved, the blurrier the image. I once bought an expensive pair before I was aware of the problem. They were useless to me because of how much they distorted distant images. I now have to try on any glasses before I buy them and I just can't find any oakleys or Costas in a store that have flat lenses. For now, I stick to the cheap, flat lens glasses I can find.
senile1 reply :
I wear Maui Jim's with prescription polarized lenses. I can see very good at a distance and while driving, but I need the prescription in the bottom 1/4 to 1/2 inch so that I can tie knots.

JT Bagwell reply :
I have several pairs of Wiley X and they are all pretty sweet but I think my WX Saints are probably my favorite.
They are the same glasses Bradley Cooper is wearing in the American Sniper movie.

Are you talking about prescription or non-prescription?
If prescription lenses are what you are looking for, call Wiley X and ask them about their Digital RX lenses.
I have astigmatism too and although I wear contacts most of the time, I still needed some RX glasses just in case. The "regular" lenses kind
of make me dizzy and some things look weird. But I have not had that problem with the Wiley X Digital RX lenses.
Definitely call them first though because I think there are limitations.
TourPT reply :
Guideline Polarized Draft with Freestone Brown Lens most of the time. Guideline Polarized Eclipse with Blue Mirror Lens. Very durable and comfortable frames, reasonably priced at around 60 to 70 bucks, Freestone Brown lens are awesome for site fishing and everyday use. Both pairs came with a case to store them in. They also have bi focal models and prescription lens models, plus there customer service is second to none.

Mr Swim Jig reply :
I wear glasses and have progressive lenses so getting a pair of polarized sunglasses can be rather expensive. So I got a pair of Cocoons Style Line MX with gray polarized lenses with the blue mirror tint, they are very nice and fit nicely over my prescription Nike Flexon frame...and they were a lot cheaper....
