maui jim; they are very expensive, but have great technology in their lenses (better polarization than cheeper ones) and i have found them to be fairly scratch resistant. i have a pair that you can tie the frame in a knot and they will spring right back into shape. can't even feel that they are on either
cheers

fs im in the optical business and oakleys or raybans make great polarized lenses, go pick up a pair of polarized oakleys and you'll love them maui jims are good too but go with an oakley they make a better polarized lense with sharper optics

I have a pair of the Oakley's with polarized, anti-glare lenses and they are fantastic !! I think the lenses were called "Polar Ice" or something like that, I had to special order them, so worth it. I had a buddy try them on this weekend to look into pool trying to spot Bull trout, he was blown away at how much more he could see into the water. Lastly they are very effective at reducing the glare, both direct and reflected from the sun, no more headaches from squinting :cool:.

Action Optics are a great choice. Depending on the model, you can get them with prescription lenses. Best scratch resistence I've seen.

I use rayban and oakly's.I found my oakleys were better becayse of the design of the arms, the glasses don't slide down you nose when it gets warm.Great lense's in the oakley's too.

I like my prescription Action Optics, with the bifocal magnifier lense in the bottom.
It's very handy for tying on flies, and makes fish like Bobalong's look like 10 pounders!!

If you're looking for something a little cheaper than everybody has been talking about, do a search on Ebay. Sure they won't work as well as a $100 or whatever pair but, for $0.89 cents, why argue?

I know, I know, it's a dinker, but I just picked up this boat a couple of weeks ago and it was the first fish I caught in it. Your suppose to be looking at the glasses anyway lol. These glasses also let me see into the future, and it says the ten pounder's are coming, but probably not until October.

I have Bolle Mongrell - they have interchangeable lenses. I have 6 different lenses including a polarized set. No compaints here.

Take a good hard look at Costa Del Mar sunglasses.
Most of the guys I have been fishing with in the Caribbean use them. They are also one of the most used glasses on the bass circuit in the US.
I picked a pair up this summer. Well worth the money.

$20 Rapala's from Wally-World work for me. If I buy expensive glasses I lose them or they get stolen. My $20 Rap's last forever and if they get scratched I just toss em and grab another from the glovie.
