Smith Interlocks are my favorite. Easy change lenses to match conditions, the rock.

All of my glasses are polarized. Have pairs of arnettes, spy's, Von zippers. Had em in dark lenses and amber. I prefer amber.

Whatever you do don't get Oakleys. They're polarized lenses sux. They were awesome using overseas and probably my favorite brand of glasses. They're just not made for site fishing. I have a pair of Ray Ban Aviators polarized I use for site fishing. Hands down the best brand I have used. I use them every year in Canada for fishing for spawning smallmouth in 10-20' of water.

Maui Jim's for me also - with the amber lens...

Thanks all for the recommendations. Often the most over looked piece of equipment while out on the water.

Ive tried a few of the maui's which i like a lot but i was blown away when putting on some Kaenon C12 lens. Anyone use these?

I use some tinted oakleys that are supposed to be safety glasses designed for combat/shooting that work awesome. I am not even really sure if they are polarized or not. I think they are normally in the 90 dollar range, which is cheap for oakleys and they also have no metal on them and come with a head band, which helps in the salt water.

Yeah oakley polarized sucks they get scratch up real easy and looks like the coaying peels...I have two pairs to prove it. Maui's are my favorite but always worry of losing them.

I use Costa glasses. They're hand assembled and have various levels of polarization and plastic or glass lenses. The plastic lenses are ANSI Z87.1 rated ie. Safety Glasses for protection against hooks and such. And the best part, they have a lifetime warranty.

Typhoon glasses are half the price of costas and are just as good. Polarization is polarization. Typhoon uses injected polarization so never will it peel or fade. They also have a lifetime warranty and come with a good case. I got mine for $50 at day at the docks. You should check them out. Very comfortable

KAENON are better than them all... Tough lenses, wrap around so they do t let light in... Best FISHING glasses out there. Cost about your upper limit though.

[PESCAHOLIC]

Eyekon has lenses for many makes of glasses. Every tint and all for $37.

Costa for me too......just got a pair of the Blackfins with the 580 lens.....pretty sick and can't wait to use them......loved my other Costa sunglasses that I donated to the sea

I went to Fred Hall last year to pickup a second pair. I told him that a tiny bit of the rubber on the black fin had come loose. He told me to send them back. They fixed and cleaned them up to the point where they look brand new, the warranty is good to go and tested.

Amber will give you best contrast, grey will give best bright light conditions and truer colors.
