just wondered if you guys thought there was much difference in them. Are polarized sunglasses just that and all the same or can you can get better lenses and stuff?
Looking through a pair of quality polarised glasses is a real eye-opener.
I used a pair of Optix Commorants for donkey's years, then bought a pair of Action Optics and they are a world apart.
You can get a good pair of shades for less than £20 nowadays and they will do for most fishing situations.
Up the budget to around £100 (

hmy: ) and there are some glasses around with stunning performance and absolute optical safety (100% UVA and UVB filters) in either polycarbonate or glass lenses. Poly is perhaps safer, but glass more scratch-resitant and (I think) more optically correct.
These will mostly originate in the USA or Oz where they take their eye care and fish-sighting seriously.
Makes to look out for are Maui Jim, Ocean Waves, Serengeti, Costa Del Mar, Action Optics and Oakley. Some of these brands top out at £250, but you can buy on-line from the states at around half-price.
Specs are an often over-looked piece of kit and in many cases can put fish on the bank, just as effectively as choosing the right lure.
Cheers
