I have a question for all you guys who wear glass lenses: Do you lose any protection from having glass instead of plastic because won't the glass shatter if it gets hit by something like a jig or weight? I've always wondered this because if that glass shatters, I don't think you'd have much of an eye left.

A plastic lens can shatter. If you are worried about it, a polycarbonate lens is a better choice. It's impact resistant.

I wear WileyX's. Love them! I will say this, Wiley X is owned, operated and designed by Ex-Millitay. They are made in America by Americans. They hold the highest standereds for safety. Just my 2 cents.

I'm kinda a sunglass nut and have tried all brands mentioned and more. If I can site fish at all that is how I fish, so lens are important to me. I feel costa 580 glass copper base is the best site fishing lens. Green,silver,or plain copper all work but for my eyes if I'm site fishing in low light I like the plain copper. if the sun is high I don't see much difference, but either plain copper or green mirror do well. These glasses are NOT shatterproof so be careful. I like hammerhead best but that is just my head-ALWAYS try them on first, then buy them where ever you like-I buy directly from the costa site. I am not associated with them in any way. And on the other hand, Shaw Grigsby won a tourney last year site fishing wearing a 30 dollar pair of plastic strike king mangroves I believe, so who knows.

I like the fact that after a lot of hard use the frames are still tight and no worn out nose pieces or ear pieces. Also like the fact that there are no metal hingles exposes on the frames that can suck when you put them on in the summer. I have even worn the Klays while fighting grass fires under my helmet shield and they still look new.


mark is right here guys...ive tried them all..kaenons are the BOMB!!! hard kores or rhinos in C12 lenses

Oakley Scalpels are the deal ! I used to wear the Oakley Monster Dogs but switched to the Scalpels. They are perfect!

I'm on Costa pro staff, so my opinion does not count. But, here it is anyway, Costas are the best, hands down.
Personally I carry 4 different brands of expensive sunglasses in my boat. With that being said I spent $95.00 on a pair of Oakley polarized FLAK lenses 30 minutes ago in blue ice, because the pair I have had scratches on them, I can text you a copy of the receipt. (You will not find an angler more particular with sunglasses, lens color etc than I am).
With options like this available at all times, 95% of the time I wear my Costa 580's. The other brands, as hard as I have tried, do not compare to the 580's under most conditions.
As far as frames, this is totally up to the persons head shape, size of nose, etc. The lens color, is particular to the conditions, (cloudy, sunny, morning, evening etc.) Generally I will change glasses / lenses 2 or 3 times a day. Check this out for some good info on color of lens. http://www.costadelmar.com/perform/color

I have the 400 version of Costa's and they are great! A little less then the 580's but still real good on the water.

I worked in the sunglasses industry for years. I still know several sunglass manufacturer reps. In my opinion Maui Jim's are the best polarized glasses on the market. As for style you have to pic a size that is right for your head size and shape. I like the largest coverage ones they have. I also prefer a glass lense. Some that are extremely curved are a polycarbonate/ plastic lense, they scratch easier.

Give the Solar Bats a try. They are designed by a Dr. They have prescription glasses also. They even have a pair of polarized Yellow glass for low light conditions.
