Depends on your glasses, my glasses are wider and I have to use the huge aviator cocoons. I recently bought a pair of cheapy cocoon knockoffs for $20...they work great. The key is to get amber polarized glasses.

I have the cacoons and I like them. I was looking at Oakleys too and just wouldn't pay $650 for the pair I liked.
I have been using the cacoons since February and have zero complaints.
If your worried about the looks, well the bass don't care.

Look at the Fit Over's at Wal-Mart, $19 and do a very good job !
Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

Cocoons work great. I'm on my second pair. After a few minutes I forget I have them on. You won't win any fashion shows wearing them, but who cares? Cool never caught a fish, but being able to see targets underwater did. Besides, as soon as you're off the water you can ditch them and go back to your extra cool clip ons, like I do!

I haven't used the Cocoons but wore the cheap Walmart ones for years at work and fishing and they work fine. I have wondered if the Cocoons had better lenses though, not that the cheaper ones are bad. The amber lenses seem to work better for fishing but the dark ones really block the sun for driving,etc.

Cocoons work well when you fit the Cocoon with the glasses frames.I have used Cocoons off and on over the years and when I finally got a pair that actually fit the glasses frames, they work very well. Imagine that!
