I'm thinking about trying a set of these as I broke the frames on my other polarized glasses. Anybody tried these? They are a little spendy ($110.00)but come with 3 sets of lenses, a carrying case and a lanyard.

I bought pairs of both Anarchy and Bolle brand polarized glasses for about $60.00 each. Sometimes I think the other lenses are just gimicks. I always liked the dark grey lenses best. Never liked the amber or rose lenses. Just my opinion.

My friend has a pair Of Bolle' and he was talking them up yesterday. I just handed him mine and he wasnt talking up the Bolle's anymore. I bought a pair of Coyote Optics in Amber. These Glasses are as good as my Maui Jims that cost over twice as much.

I havent seen the brand you mentioned, Check out the Coyote's. The lenses are glass and they come in both grey and amber. At $105.00 they are great glasses

the first question i'd ask is are they glass lenses? if they are then it's probably not to bad, but i've been real hard on any type of glasses that aren't glass. they tend to scratch very easy, especially when on the river with all that sand and fine grit around. Right now i have a pair of Smith OTIS polarized. they've been great, i've had them for three years (that a long time for me) and have been really happy with them. Just another opinion for ya smile

Check out these. They have polarized photochromatic lens that get darker or lighter depending on light conditions.Notice that the price is Canadian.

Those Canadian glasses don't say if they are polarized? Smith is also Action Optics

Cannot...Cannot beat the quality and service you get from the Smith Action Optics camp. If you are going to spend ove a 100 buck on a pair of shades get the Smiths or AO's. If anything happens to your shades (short of flat losing them) they will fix or replace them in a hurry. Try that with the other brands. I've owned them since the early 90's and have nothing but good things to say about them. Fishing freshwater, go with the clearwater copper lenses, salt...the grey.

JG & CnD, thanks for the input, i found that out after i'd made my reply. As for service, i've heard nothing but the best about them too. a co-worker broke his pair of smiths and was given a new pair on the spot no questions asked. i'd say thats service! thanks for the help.
