Looking to by a new pair of sun glasses. Would like to get something with glass lenses if at all possible. Would like to keep the cost around a $100 or less. Were should I look? What should I buy?
I recently broke my last pair of old Roland Martin glasses from Bass Pro, if anyone has an old pair of these gems laying around and would like to part with them let me know... I really liked them.

The best pair I've ever had are my Costa Del Mar's. I've got the Eliminator model, they're true fishing sunglasses, with good side protection. I got mine on sale for just under $100. This might be the time of year to get a deal on some.

Hobie sun glasses are by far the best if your looking for a pair with glass lenses
Gotta agree with Brian, CDM's are the cats meow! I've got the Eliminators and the Sport models in different lens colors. Vermillion work great for over cast days and cut into the water. Big help when your chasin them muskies.
Ya won't be disappointed. Reed's in Walker has em at a good price year round.

Ocean Waves makes a fine pair of glasses, best I ever used. I have seen numerous fish, wearing those, that the guy next to me did not (wearing the big "Blue Blocker" style Babe Winkelman glasses).
I havn't seen a pair near $100, but then again some of the others mentioned I havn't seen priced in that range either.
Mine, unfortunately, were sacrificed to the fish god when I "mistakenly" took out a Jet Ski for a joy ride.
Ought to get double paybacks on that one.

Don't rule out good ol' Ray Bans. I wear a Polarized Daddy-O model. Bar-none, most comfortable glasses I have ever worn and this includes Costa Del Mars. I paid a little over the $100 range, but received a brand new replacement pair in 3 days directly from Ray Bay, when the neck strap worked loose and they took an unfavorible bounce off the pavement.
Good Luck
If your near a Cabela's store check out the bargain cave. they usually have a half dozen pair of quality glasses in the display cabinet. The pricing is somewhere around 30 - 40% of normal retail. Look them over real good. They are returned goods.

Just ordered a pair of Ocean wave sunglasses. I did recieve a $129 gift certificate as part of my winnings in the PWT Sakakawea tournament. They are a PWT sponsor. Most of the glass lens sunglasses are in the 149 to $179 area and have true glass lenses. Their web address is : www.oceanwaves.com
their phone number is : 1.800.495.9283
fax : 1.904.249.1126
Their glass lenses can be custom ground into prescription sunglasses.
Will let you know how I like them when I get 'em.
