jjcanoe Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Just wondering what colour preferences everyone has, and why you like them or is there a difference. jjcanoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 I've been using grey H2Optics for a few years now and like the color, but the amber is nice on dull rainy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck2fan Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 One colour won't cut it when it comes to your eyes.... My glasses came with three sets of lens the colours are amber, grey and vermillion. If you have intense sunshine you use the grey, lower level sun the amber and the vermillion stay in the case till I figure out what they are for LOL.

kickingfrog Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 I agree with the Fan above, two tints are very useful, if not necessary. Excuse me, I'm now going to find out exactly what colour vermilion is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Another note about sunglasses and being out on the water. It doesn't hurt to take a quick look at the sky every now and again without the glasses on. I've found that some of those sunglasses that "brighten" up or make things "sharper" tend to also disguise the light conditions or weather changes. You don't want to be far from home and realize that a storm has come up. Vermilion is an orangeish red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forrest Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Poll needs a "use different colours" option. I use nothing but the green for driving. forrest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjcanoe Posted April 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Grey and amber are apparently the 2 most common colours. I didn't realize that there are a lot of other shades of shades. I've got a set of amber and also grey, the amber I keep in the truck for driving and the grey I use for fishing and driving my car. jjcanoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kulik Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 I use Solar Bat in Mossback green-this color was invented by an optician, and has a patent-great for sight fishing and work well in cloud and sun.-a lot of my fishing is done on Simcoe where visual is very important.

jwoolley Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 I have amber and gray, I used the amber (Angler Eyes) on the open water in lake Ontario last season and they worked very well. If I didn't have them I would not have lasted vary long in the intense light that the sun was causing when bouncing back off of the haze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Tracker Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Its simple- Hobie Sightmasters- Yellow- glass - not plastic- not a better sunglass made in my opinion. Thats why half the pro's in the US wear them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennyman Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 I don't have any specific "fishing glasses". I use the same ones I drive with. I think they're Foster Grants from Wallymart. Is that why I don't catch any fish? If not, it's a great excuse. I lose or wreck all mine anyway so I can't see paying a couple hundred bucks for glasses to sit on.
