I personally only wear two brands Spy Optics, and Oakley. An amber or green lens are what I prefer both have good customer service and warranty. Both also have a ton of styles to choose from. I usually get a new pair every Father's Day and still have my oakleys from las year they still look and feel new. Really it's about how much you want to spend poloraized will run about $100.00 more than non polorized. The pair I own currently were $197.95 before taxes. Amphibia makes some great polorized sunglasses at about half the price I just couldn't find any frames I like.

$200-250 is probably the price cap. Ive had Oakleys in the past, but not for fishing.

I would go with amphibia by far the best for the money the also have air cells in the frames do if you drop them in the water they will float pretty good price range as well!

I have two pair of Solar Bats, but that was before they were got bought out and jacked up the prices. Now you can get a pair of 580p Costas for almost the same price.

Costa 580p is hard to beat. I swore i would never pay that kind of money for glasses, but its the best money I've ever spent.

Costa 580G are the best glasses I've ever used and since I wear prescription glasses I can use my HSA account to buy new sunglasses.

After my Cataract surgery, I just need cheaters, so I have been getting mine at ONOS.Com. They are pretty nice glasses and work well, I find some pairs under $100.

I use the XPS ones from BPS. They are fine. I would LOVE a really nice pair, but I'm afraid I would loose them or something haha.

Costa del Mar 580G green mirror is my go to. The glass lenses are a little heavier but are harder to scratch and seem "clearer" than the plastic. They are spendy, but are also a superior product. Conveniently, you can order them online from Costa and they ship them quickly. They also come in frame sizes from small to x large, so you should check fit before you buy. I have a pretty huge noggin and the lg and xl fit well. Every flats fishing guide I have ever hired, from the Bahamas to Belize, swear by 'em. I lose about one pair a year, so I try to keep two around.

Do a search about costas customer service. It's some of the worst in the industry and their are many threads especially in the bass section about how bad it is. For me dropping that kind of cash I want a good and hassle free warranty if something happens to them. Just something to keep in mind.

Love my WileyX glasses.
They are also OSHA certified safety glasses. Great for shooting and fishing where that protection could come in very handy.

Rudy Project and ill give ya a discount code. Anyone who ive loaned a pair to has bought them. There is no comparison. And for someone with a heavy prescription there is no better choice.
