What are your recomendations for polarized and blocking sun glare from the sides or bottom? I would say affordable or low cost but that means something different to everyone so just tell me what you think are the best. Thank you

Kaenon..............I am super happy with mine.
Have had several Smiths and Action Optics, I feel these are better lenses.

Another vote for Smiths...I have a pair that actually has "locks" on the arms, I can twist them, which opens up the front and the lenses come out...and then you can put in either a different color polarized lens (there are three or four), or put in replacements if you scratch 'em.
I have another pair of Smiths that I love, but the lens got a scratch in it right in the middle, and that's it for them...no replacing 'em.
Fish on...

I tried on a pair of Maui Jim's last time out on the Columbia...
The optics were WAY better than on any pair of Smiths I've ever owned, and I've owned more than 10 pair.
...still rockin' the Smiths. The MJ's make the Smiths look like cheap sunglasses (price tag wise too).
I'm planning on winning the lottery, so we'll see...

Checked out the websites of all mentioned. Sorry KK some of the Kaenons are too Paris Hilton for me, functionaly they are probably the best, but I have to be seen wearing them. The Maui Jims win in the looks department but looks like they will let a little glare in the bottom or sides. Smiths are a little cheaper than the others and have a great warranty. But in all cases there too fuc%ing many to choose from. Lens color, style, make , model........................fu%k me. I have to find somewhere to try them out, sure cant choose from the website.

http://www.kaenon.ch/products.aspx?id=rhinoI got these when in Hawaii bluewater fishing, and nobody has told me I look like Paris so far. But they are very nice lenses, and comfortable...................I guess looks are everything....... I'd choke on the price of Maui Jim's, but dollar for dollar these are better than Smith's IMHO.

KK, it'll take more than a pair of glasses to make you look like Paris Hilton...maybe a total eclipse of the sun and a pair of really dark Ray-Bans...
Fish on...

cheap ones from walgreens. i either toss my gear on top of them or lose them eventually, so i'm not doing myself any favors by paying more than 20 bucks.

love my Maui Jim Offshore glasses.
Have both amber and grey lense models. Pricey but the best fishing sunglass I have used. Excellent spotfishing in low, clear flows.
