View Full Version : sunglasses
Anyone have any good suggestions on - clip on sunglasses that will fit over a regular pair of glasses, where to get them and how much to expect to pay? Are the polorized glasses worth it?
Thanks,
Tim

Tim, wish I could help out more than to say that I have seen clip on polaroids. When fishing, I find polaroids invaluable. Also, make sure there is adequate UVA and UVB blocking qualities.
You can get clip-ons almost anywhere, but check to see that they are really polarized(hold two pair in line and rotate and they will block 100% of the light in one alignment) and also UV blocking. You can get them at Wallmart for $6 to 10. You might also like the complete wrap around type for out on the lake, as they get light coming from all angles as well as the irritation from the wind. About $10 to 13.

Most of your optical stores will have really good polarized glasses that fit over your glasses and block the side light out. The won't look like Maui Jim's but you won't want to fish without them ever again. Polarized is the only way to go.
Don't fool around with your eyes.get Costa del Mars,prescription ,polarized glasses with the side shields.I use amber for most conditions and dark blue for intense sun.
A little expensive but were talking eye safety here.
