Hydropotesinermis 724 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Hi. I have been doing a bit of river fishing and am contemplating some polarised sunglasses. Can anyone recommend some? 1 Quote Link to post

Waz 4,266 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Wouldnt go spending a fortune as youll not be too gutted when they get scratched or lost. 1 Quote Link to post
dytkos 17,818 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 I got some from Aldi, in their fishing bit, £2.99 looked and worked OK, wasn't too fussed when I stood on them lol Cheers, D. 2 Quote Link to post
gazjon5 822 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) Costa del mar, smith optics, maui jim or Oakley about as good as it gets, none are cheap though. Edited to add do a bit of research on lens colour and type of use/ time of day, can make a big difference even in the cheap glasses Edited August 8, 2015 by gazjon5 1 Quote Link to post

Mr Wilkes 3,036 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Night and hale for me , had them years. I wouldn't be without mine when lure fishing. Edited to add... I have a pair for sunny days and a pair for dull overcast days. Quote Link to post
Lid 194 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 I prefer flip up ones. Shakespeare used to sell a good pair, but stopped and I am having trouble finding some now. I did find these, but the bridge is set too low for my liking. I've had two pairs though, so they must be OK otherwise. Quote Link to post
air gun ant 1,666 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 I've never spent a fortune on them, because as said they do get lost or broken but I've found you can get some decent pairs in the £20-£30 bracket. Just get to your local tackle shop and try a few on. I can never get glasses that sit well on my head, my eyes ears and nose just to seem to work in unison lol 3 Quote Link to post
MIK 4,763 Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 There s no need to pay a fortune unless you want to as far as taking the glare of the water the £30 ones are as good as glasses over £100 ive tried them all and as has already been said lense colour is important I have 3 types amber,dark and a lighter dark for different lights Quote Link to post
Flacko 1,755 Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Which ones you recommend MIK, cheers Quote Link to post
