What Sunglasses Do You Prefer For Fishing?

I break my glasses so I go with the swap meet special two pairs of polarized for $15.

I vote for the Smith Optics also.

Three years ago I switched from Maui Jims to the Smiths and never looked back. I have two different pairs but both chroma pop, one for low light/overcast days and another for full sun. They are awesome glasses

Pelagic Polarized.... They are comfortable, light weight, great lenses (although plastic, I have not scratched either pair once this entire year), and they are eisier on the wallet

From my research it seems that Costa and Smith are neck in neck in terms of clarity of lenses. Costa's are rated slightly higher because of the glass lens compared to Smith's Chromapop which are offered in plastic.

Here is the review that I saw. http://www.itinerantangler.com/blog/...80-technology/

Here is a review that likes the Smith better. http://www.surfocracoke.com/smith-chromapop-review/

I am going to check out the Smith's and do a comparison.

I had some Costas I really liked. I'm hard on glasses and they scratched up faster than I thought they should have. I took them to the Fred Hall show and talked to one of the guys in their booth who told me to send them in and they would replace the lenses at full cost to me plus shipping both ways. Needless to say I was not impressed. Smiths are looking to be a good option.

I just returned my Costas with 580G lenses and they are going to replace them with new lenses and frames for 11.99.

Go to the website and then register a repair and then they send you a shipping label by email to print up. You pay 11.99 by credit card and then they hold that. Send them back and then call them. They will tell you what is needed to repair them.

I thought the customer service was pretty good. The maui jims I had they wanted 50 dollars to repair them.

Costa 580g all the way IMO.

For whatever its worth, I think Suncloud is a subsidiary of Smith....
