Ryders

You can find them at Sail or your local Running Room store

MSRP for polarized ones go for $70

Nothing else in that price range that I know of with better quality

Try searching the site this subject comes up fairly often.

Gagnons were clearing out h2o optics sunglasses for $25 I believe?

I recently bought a pair of numa and I'm happy with them. I did take some pics on my blog if you're interested to see how they look through the lens

[Dan668]

Costas are awesome, can find just above your price range on the auction site.

[shadowfly]

I just came back from optic stores i did try pair of Maui Jim perfect fit and tint but for $480 is a bit hard since im unemployed at the momment , i tried costas just didn't like the way they sit on my face so for now have to find something thats half decent for $120 max

 

i just checked out gagons website they have the eyewear section empty

[fishindevil]

I have several pairs of Maui Jim's and never paid more than $180 I didn't know they went that expensive but regardless I have had lots of brands and still do and they are still my fav but I have a few $50 pairs of strike kings and an h2o optics and I like those as well !!!! It's all in the lenses and you get what you pay for the Maui Jim's are by far the clearest sharpest lens that I have and they last too really good frames too

[danc]

Bottom line here is that everyone is happy with their brand of choice. Clearly your $15.00 polarized glasses from walmart can be beat, but I don't think that you need to spend 2 or 300 bucks on a pair either. For the record, I'm a fan of Skeleton Optics. Zeiss lenses, and when on sale are dirt cheap. Look them up and get on their email list. Lots of 50% off sales which will get you a set of good glasses for about 50 bucks.

didn't know zeiss made sunglasses gotta check that out thanks

[steelhead75]

i have a set of spotters, from australia as i do a lot of saltwater flats fishing they cut the flats glare like no other i have found you can get into those for around 150. as for maui jims i have those as well and love the fit. and i have never seen them at 480 sure you werent looking at the perscripton lenses.

Numa

[MCTFisher9120]

We still have H2O glasses "some" we are clearing out. For your price range the Numa's would be a good bet. Excellent warranty and quality made.

I bought a pair of $50 sundogs from MEC and couldnt be happier... They work incredibly well!

[spinnerdoc]

I actually need a good pair myself. Welcome back my friend.

[Angler management]

Still sell the h20 at sail. But my choice is oakley for the quality

[FrankTheRabbit]

So Kevin, NUMA glasses help you catch smallies? ha. I'm definitely gonna check out the NUMA glasses.

 

Thanks for the helpful info regarding the shades. Your site is also awesome! Keep it up!

I have a pair of Hugo Boss sunglasses that I paid about $440 for. (Paid extra to get polarized lenses)

The screws for the ear stems keep getting loose or falling out, so I found a new use for them. Keeping dust off the top left corner of my fridge.

I have about 7 or 8 pairs of cheap plastic sunglasses from Princess Auto. $1.99 each. $1.00 when on sale. They work as good as some $20 and $30 sunglasses I've had and if I break or lose a pair, no panic, no tears, no cursing. I simply grab another pair I have in the car, boat or house and go on with my day.

 

I would like to fix and use the Hugo Boss polarized sunglasses, but no hurry, no worries. I know where to find them.

KVD Oakley's.... best glasses I've ever owned.

[Richie Razor]

I have oakleys and ya their great, but I also got sundogs, and their pretty good too. Lots of choices, get the best you can for your money and invest in a case or something to protect them when not in use and the'll last for years.

[DRIFTER_016]

I have glasses from Rayban, Habervision and Smith Action Optics and they're all good glasses.

The best pair I ever owned were made by Ocean Waves, but they are at the bottom of the lake after wiping out on my buddies jet ski.

[blaque]

Heres my sunglasses pattern:

 

Buy 15 dollar sunglasses from drug store..... Sit on glasses.

Go without glasses

Buy another pair of 15 dollar glasses when desperately needed, on way to a fishing weekend.........drop glasses in lake

Go without glasses for rest of trip

Buy another pair of cheapos at truck stop while driving into the sun on road trip.........lose glasses at next rest stop

Go without glasses until next road trip

Buy another pair of..........you get the idea

 

Been doing it my whole life.........now imagine if all those glasses above were 120 dollar glasses

 

Ill never buy a quality pair of glasses

[shadowfly]

All done picked up a pair of suncloud aviators made by Smith from sail for $70 and another cheap pair for hell of it

I might go back and grab a pair of Riders in the coming weeks once they stock up some more.

Thanks for all the input guys
