Sunglasses

Best advice I can give you is buy a good pair. My choice is Oakley's. Yes your going to pay around 150-180 for them but I've had the same pair for 6 years now. All the other cheap pairs I had broke at some time or another. Pay a little more now and you'll be happier in the long run. Oakley Straight Jackets are awesome.

I would go with Costa Del Mar's. You will be amazed at the difference in a higher quality lens.

Pretty much what Shimano4life said about color. I have an amber color I wear 90% of the time. However in direct, bright sunlight I will change to my mirror blue ones. My next pair will be green mirror for bright light. I had a pair of revo's years ago wite a green mirror lense, and I havent had any since then that were as good in bright light.

Ive never been the kind of person to drop some serious coin on something like a pair of sunglasses. Then I tried a pair of Costas a buddy had. Ive bought two pairs since then and let me tell you, there is a BIG difference. I am ROUGH on my equipment and my Costas are the most scratch resistent lens Ive ever seen. Of course the vision is awesome with them as well. I prefer the vermillion color in stained water and most freswater applications. Its a bit fruity looking but the contrast is unbelievable. I even wear them driving. Go with Costas or other quality glasses and youll be happy.

i have had cheep glasses and exspensive ones and let me tell you go with oakley hd flack or straight jackets in amber color. they are awsome i love them you would not belive the difference in glasses. i cant comment on the costas but they are exspensive so the are proubley the same quality as the oakleys.

Solar Bats in the mossyback lense are hard to beat. They are a good middle brand but the Berkleys at walmart wouldn't be a waste of money.

Same thoughts as others cheap glasses work and are sweet till you get a good pair. I have Solar bats the more expensive ones and I like them over Costa or Oakley. I dont think the 60-80.00 ones are better than Costa but their higher end ones are. I have both and preffer the Solar Bats mostly because of fit though view is the same.

I would wear several pairs @ the store before I buy to make sure they are comfortable for all day. Costas I think are worth the money but not as comfortable as natives.

Never had a pair as comfortable as the Natives. There were some on Steepandcheap.com today. Bought some Costa's on there the other day for $49. That site can be addicting.

Well I had Costas for couple years and mad the switch to Oakleys last year. Awesome move they have interchangeable lenses for different light conditions so you don't have to buy a lot of frames. I have two sets of oakleys with different frames but two other pair of lenses to go with them. As a matter of fact I have two pair of Costas I have been thinking of putting on community tackle box soon. One with blue lenses and other with green.
Blue lense with black frame ex-11 EX-Frame
Green lense are with Shark frame. Anyone interested?

Just buy the revo over 159.99 model reel and get the wiley x sunglasses for FREE. Cant say how good they are yet mine are on the way....

I highly reccommend some Wiley X Sunglasses ... I got lucky and got mine with the Abu Garcia deal they had a while back. If I was buying new sunglasses today I would seriously take a look at the Wiley X, some can get a little pricey

I have some Costas with the 580 lens. Love them, but if I could keep them from fogging up I'd be that much happier. I've read about dipping them in some water with dish liquid in it so I will try that next time out. IF you are going with Costas, don't buy retail. Find some on Ebay.
