I've had a favorite pair of Flyweight Solar Bat glases with their mossback lens, they're at least ten years old. I broke the frames about five years ago and they replaced the frames for free and I had them back within a week of the day I sent them. I recently broke them again and inquired about the availability of the old frame style for warranty. I was sure I was out of luck and I was right, the frame parts are no longer available so they can't replace them under warranty.
However, they offered any new style glasses at 50% off to replace the broken glasses. Solar Bat may not have the industry name like Oakley, Costa or others but they know how to take care of their customers. I'm never buying anything but Solar Bat for the rest of my life.
Do you switch your lenses or do you stick with one overall lense? I've been looking at Solar Bat but have had a pair of Wiley X after getting them for free after buying an Abu reel and love them. For a free pair they have lasted me a long time and I'm very happy with how well these Wiley X work. Although I'm looking into getting another color lense for overcast/early morning or evening fishing at have started to look at Solar Bat.

I wear the mossback for everything except sunny days with snow on the ground. These are the non-mirrored mossback, the mirror will reduce light passage by about 20%. I can wear the mossback well after sunset, usually by the time I take them off there isn't enough available light for there to be a glare on the water.
Let me throw some good feedback into the ring for Solar Bat's 'high contrast yellow' lens too. I have both the green mossback and the HCY; and though the mossback is great for all conditions, I tend to slightly prefer the HCY at dusk.
Usually, I end up wearing the mossback June through August, and then the HCY September through May.
