BrightonCorgi Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 I like Typhoon branded sunglasses. Available at most boating suppliers. Good contrast, decent clarity and fantastic price.

I have 580P's and they cut through the water like nobodies business. Not sure if there are newer/better but they probably have updated their lines. There is a reason why so many guides wear them. x2 on Costas. The 580 lenses are designed for saltwater, I use these exclusively when fishing near or off shore. There is another Costa lens specific to freshwater, but I wear Maui Jim for freshwater fishing.
jazzboypro Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 I've been wearing Serengeti for 10+ years, bought my last pair about 2 years ago. This is the model i have right now with photochromic and polarized lenses. http://www.serengeti-eyewear.com/Sunglasses/Products/Sassari.aspx?product=7665
trike Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 +1 for Maui Jim. Living in So Cal, they make the world a better place. Light on the nose too Like FOH, Maui Jim has outstanding customer service. Been a customer for at least 15+ years.

Check out Randolph Engineering (USA) or Dita (Japan). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk My Randolph Engineering Concordes (24 kt gold frame, Tan Polarized lens) have the best low-medium light clarity of any Polarized lens I've used, which are many. Unfortunately, for blazing mid day sun on the flats or boat they don't offer enough side protection. Best pair of glasses I've have owned though.
MPfit Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 I've had costa 580G for years. My wife loves her Maui's. I put on a pair of Smith Chromapop Ignitor lenses and never went back. Lighter, just as clear, and in my opinion the best lenses on the market. ESPECIALLY for under 3ft water: you'll see everything.
Habanos2000 Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 I've been a Revo fan for a long time. The issue I have now, which isn't related in particular to the brand, is how polarized lenses prevent clear vision of certain things such as my cell phone screen (HTC 10). I believe it has something to do with AMOLED screen technology. Whatever it is, it's frustrating. Anyone else have this issue? 1

I never came up with a solution other than taking off (or lifting up) the sunglasses so I could read the screen or whatever. Really makes it damn near invisible while wearing the polarized lenses. - MG
PigFish Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 A slight reduction in the consumption of colored liquids from colored bottles might help your sight some, in just about every circumstance! It helps with motor functions as well. Cheers! -R

Not the brand as you say but...If I lean the wrong way the screen in my car is blank. Also nothing worse that looking at the checkerboard pattern on the back of peoples car windows. 1

I have the same problem with my polarized Serengeti, it's to the point where it's not possible to use my laptop at all, it is less severe with my phone but still not pleasant. I have another pair of Serengeti that does not have polarized lenses that i use when i use my laptop at home.

shlomo Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 I buy both my fish and my sunglasses at the grocery store. 2
stang Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 I've always used maui Jim. They have a great warranty alsoSent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk
PigFish Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Yet another thread where I examine my age, and laugh at how un-hip I am! Oakley, you mean the motorcycle grip company??? -LOL Those crappy soft grips that lasted one moto! Fox, was Motocross Fox at one time, logo'd vented nylon jerseys... I will have to find an old pick of wearing one from the 70's... And finally, I have to agree with @shlomo... Here are my glasses, polycarbonate and available at your local White Cap Construction Supply!!! Did I mention $6.99....? They come in camouflage too, but that costs $2.00 more!!! -LOL -Piggy
foreese Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Maui Jim's for sure, best fishing glasses ever!
Bulldog4 Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Maui Jim's their polarized lenses are by far the best there is no glare off the water excellent brand
JohnS Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 There's lots of great suggestions here @El Presidente, but if I were you, I'd be inclined to ask @asmith what he thinks the next time you two go fishing.
Shikar Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 MJ are awesome. Agree with the consensus opinion. Another issue I face is the heads up display in my car is invisible with the polarized MJ. So have to wear non polarized TF for driving which is annoying. Regards.
Hurltim Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 I had MJ's as well. Great sunglasses. My pup chewed up my pair. I got hit in the right eye with a line drive baseball when I was 10. It tore my pupil so one pupil is bigger than the other. Since the pupil doesn't dialate all the way, side glares give me a splitting headache. The Oakleys completely eliminate side glare for me. To me, both have super lenses so pick the style you like.JMHOSent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk
FCUBUCK Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 I have Maui Jim and Costa. Both are very good and would purchase them agian.
