The Urban Fisherman Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Let us know how they pan out dude! I was in the Bahamas this January fishing with a friend and was using cheaper $15 polarized shades (that I've sworn by for the past few years) and she kept saying "THERE'S THE SCHOOL OVER THERE" and I'm thinking I'm blind, can't see poop, this happened over and over that day and finally she goes, try my shades instead...WHAM - THERE THEY ARE! I could see the school plain as day! So needless to say when I have the money I'm going to buy myself a good expensive pair of shades. But for now my $15 walmart glasses will do the trick. (they're not the berkley ones) Cheers, UF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofrills Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Higher end optics really do make a difference. I've always just used a pair of El Cheapos, but not anymore. I have a pair of Costa Del Mar's that I absolutely love. The difference is amazing, and something that you need to witness for yourself. I also have a pair of Oakley Half Jackets and a paid of Electric Visual BSG's that are absolutely amazing! Get yourself a lanyard or a strap if you're worried about droppin em. Keep an eye on www.steepandcheap.com for Costa Del Mar's. Thye come up frequently. I think I paid about $50 for mine, brand new in box with hard case.

steverowbotham Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I am a tried and true fan of Bluewater Optics. For around 100 bucks, you dont have to break the bank but the quality is incredible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I have a pair of polarized Bolle's that are my every day glasses. Along with some polarized Uvex that I picked up at Costco. No complaints for the price.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zubris21 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I second checking out steepandcheap.com. They often have costa del mars as well as oakleys and other brands for good deals. I just picked up a pair of polarized oakleys from 75 with taxes and shipping. They also have great deals on all kinda of outdoor gear! I just wish there was a site like that for fishing and hunting gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
