bucktail Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 (edited) Since I can't seem to find my pair of H2O Optix I was shopping for a new pair of glasses. Must be high quality since I already have burned corneas from years on the water. Any suggestions. Looking for a grey lense in case my amber ones show back up!

mason05 Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Bucktail, Check this out. http://www.smithoptics.com/index.html I am loyal to Smith for both sunglasses and snowboarding goggles. Great customer service. I've damaged (my fault) my current pair of shades twice and they've shipped new ones with just the cost of shipping passed my way. They've also got a new line of polarized fishing glasses out. Corn Nug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lundboy Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 (edited) I've been using Maui Jims for years. Great glasses! I had a problem with a crack in the frames on a 3 year old pair. Walked into their office in Mississauga. They replaced the frames no charge no questions asked! Also gave me a new case, and cleaning cloth. Excellent service, excellent product! Model: Ho'okipa fully flexible frames http://www.mauijim.com/mjweb/public/catalo...E=LFG407-02.JPG The new Huricanes or Peles look pretty good too!

T Fisher Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 I use MAUI JIM TYPHOON, wow there great I swear by them never leave home without them. As for service my first pair 3 years of wear and the lens looked like one of the layers was seperating. MAUI JIM replaced both lenses but charged me for a new frame $90.

outdoorguy61 Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Action Optics for me. I believe they are now owned by Smith Optics. They seem tougher to find in Canada but perform very well with a fabulous quality lens. outdoorguy61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 (edited) I've been wearing H2Optics on the water for about 5 years now and they're the ones I'll be buying again when the time comes. I always stick with products I know work well Edited April 19, 2007 by lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFR Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 I've been wearing Blue Water Optics glasses for a number of year. Made in Canada, lifetime warranty. http://www.bluewateroptics.com/index.cfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappn Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Lew, I love H2Optics as well but they are getting harder and harder to find..I think the company has gone out of business and all that is being sold is over stock. I had the same pair for 8 years..loved them till a bud sat on them an cracked them..the glass's aren't the only thing that got cracked that day. Anyway I went to a pair of Bolle Recoil.....garbage. The nose and ear pieces have completely deteriorated. Bolle is going to replace them with another model...good on them..howeever I should have bought Maui Jim's....I have lots of friends who wear them and love them.

mart Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Maui Jims! Maui Jims! Maui Jims! Love my Maui Jims. I had a pair of Blue Water and they snapped in two different parts of the frames. Everyone has their own personal preference. Try on different brands to see what fits and suits you the best. Good Luck and you better get a pair soon because it's soft water time!!!!!

zman Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Just got a pair of Blue water Optiics at Wal-Mart in the eye care center yesterday They were 40% off I didn't really need them but at that price I thought why not So chech the Wa mart in your area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanheritage Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Hey everyone, yeah yeah I have been taking a break but I am back lol...... I actually just got a new pair of polarized from quicksilver... I got em from a ebay dealer and I love em... I paid 80 for them and they are great for on and off water. I figured if I am going to spend the money on a pair I want a good dual purpose pair. I can't believe how good they are for the price. So just check into all retailers before you spend 150 plus..

TEP Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 I've had Bluewaters for about 5 years. Great products. I decided to get something a bit more fashionable this year. At the Spring show I picked up a pair of Spotters, from Australia. Great fit and finish. Frames are moldable to your head if you pop into their office and spend a bit of time forming them. The retailer I bought from is in Mississauga. Sunglasssafari.com 905 271 8994 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taper Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 I have had Bluewater Optics for the last couple years and love them. It's nice that they are made in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
