Polarized lens suggestions

Metoman · Jul 22, 2011

Looking for some polarized lenses for fishing. I mainly fish for trout in clear water. What would be mt best options? I have a pair of Oakley Flak Jackets with non-polarized lenses I'm looking to replace w/ polarized one's.

Here's my options: http://www.oakley.com/products/5201/25168

Yea 5 dolla holla polarized glasses for me.... if they get dropped, sat on, or float down the river... no big loss!

if you want a basic pair then the walmart sub 20 dollar ones will work. If you want to get technical with the lighting, cloud cover etc then you can chooce specific lenses for specific days. and spend a wee more to have glasses that have 3-4 interchangable lenses.

Basically just find a pair of decent berkleys or such that wrap around your face as much as possible. all the light that enters behind the lens around the sides will reduce effectiveness of the polarized lenses

if you get copper colored lenses they work in both light and dark conditions.

I'm just glad they come with bi-focals...:lol: A friend bought me a pair a few years back,they work great! :clap:

But, do they come in Tri-focals too? They do? COOL!

Slayer...by copper, do you mean Amber? That's what I have, cuz amber cuts glare and you can still see in the fog while driving.

So, I'd suggest that you consider that color for your specs too.

I bought a pair at BiMart last year for around $20.00 with the magnifyers in the bottom. Without them I'm all thumbs trying to tie knots.

Personally, cheap sunglasses give me headaches. I have a pair of Smith Guides in a amber/bronze tint that are perfect - not too dark to wear when its overcast, or when I am in shade - I suppose if you do a lot of stillwater fishing a darker tone may be needed, but for rivers they are just right.

In that case, more ZZ Top is prescribed to you
