What Diver said.... Teds and 3Rivers has a good selection locally...Polarized.com is a good Etailer. I use the all-hours brown for winter river fishing. Great lenses and frames.

costa del mar, spendy but are some sick shades, don't wear them for fishing though. got some stren wrap arounds for $25 in cabelas, they come with two interchangable lenses, dark gray for super bright conditions and an amber lens for low light(i use these almost exclusively)
ps less expensive shades also offer some protection from airborn hooks and lead, friend of mine had to wear an eye patch after taking lead in the eye, luckily no permanent damage

Any reccomendations for prescription eyeglass wearers for polarized glasses. I'll be gettin some new ones soon and would welcome any comments. I'll also try the search feature as I seem to remember a couple of pretty in-depth discussions. Thanx
Sincerely, Roger

Roger,
Action Optics offers prescription lenses in alot of their frames. I would check them out. I have owned two pairs of their glasses and have had no complaints.

Dude, I do alot of spot fishing in the smaller streams and by far I would go with a amber lens, they work good in all conditions. There is no need to go out and get a pair for 100 + greenbacks, go to any sports shop and get you a pair for under 20, they work just as good and alittle easier on the wallet....

I'll disgree with the recommendations for the cheapies ... I think you get what you pay for, to a point anyhow. I have both Action Optics and Maui Jim's (I would have never spent this mauch on glasses as tough as I am on them, but Fishgal & I took the rep and his family clamming and he gave us some certificates for our choice of glasses as a tip Both far outperform both in polarizing ability and acuity the cheapies I've tried in the past. For a medium $$$ pair, the Action Optics are super ... I've had very good luck with mine and they are my everyday pair of glasses on the boat. The Maui Jim's stay in the car where I won't drop them overboard!!

Maui Jim's are by far the best I have found. I wear hard contacts and am very light sensitive. I never go outside without sunglasses.. I wear mine 365 days a year! I have a new pair of Maui Jim Typhoon's and they are great! I also have a pair of Maui Jim Ti.'s for driving and they too a great! Spend the extra money and buy the Maui Jims..

Can't complain about my Smith SL2's with interchangeable lenses. I use them all the time. Come with a lifetime warranty. Busted a pair when fishing with goforchrome. Smith replaced them, for free.
Buy a $2.50 glasses saver thingy (Chums), and they'll always stay around your neck.
