I'm looking for more effective sunglasses to fit over my prescription glasses.

What brands have worked well for members?

What color lens is most effective for different sky conditions?

Thanks

If you can swing it ($275-400) to get a pair of prescription sunglasses that would be best, Dad loves his costa del mar prescription glasses. He's probably getting a pair of mossback (Liberty) from Solar Bat this year too since his Costa's are a little dark in low light <url url="[Permission to view this media is denied]

I'm getting some of these for Tyler before season rolls around. Probably a pair of fit-overs and snap on. Simply because I can't imagine spending hundreds on polarized shades for a 9 year old.

Nothing is completely scratch proof, dropping them concrete tends to scratch anything. Most good glasses have scratch resistant coating and it makes a difference.

My favorite lens color is Solar Bats Mossback. <url url="[Permission to view this media is denied]

It says that the Mossback brightens greens, and bleaches out browns. Wouldn't that make it harder to see the fish? The brown ones anyways? Do you think that someone else might see through those lenses differently than you do with your sight impediment? (sorry. not trying to be hurtful) And only 1 more question-how close to dark can you leave the glasses on and it improves vision into the water?

Think about that question for a second… if it mutes brown and brightens green wouldn't that make it easier to see a brown one? Uh… we're talking about fish here right and not brown flaoting things…

I can wear the mossback earlier/later than anyone I've fished with that wears other gray or other dark color.

I must be thinking backwards on this… [smilie=thk.gif] And yes… we're talking fish, not other brown things that float in water. [smilie=puke.gif]

How about X-ray sunglasses! you look down in the water and see the bones of the fish. When the girl goes by in her bikini on the deck of the boat, well you get my drift!! 😯

I got a pair of Solar Bat Mossback glasses last year, and they are the best I've used. Admittedly, I never used a pair that cost me more than $25 prior to them.

I've been using Costa's with vermillion color lenses in low light. I like em a lot!!!!!!!!
I like amber in bright conditions. I don't care much for grey and have never tried the green or blue mirror.

That's where I'm at right now. El Cheapos. I can't compare them to anything else, except for not using any. And they work better than THAT. 🙄

Overcast sunglasses, they fit great over my glasses.

16.95 different lenses available and they work as good as
My 150.00 shades.
