oz_brett Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I just use polarised sunnies usualy cheap ones from leading retailers, I did buy a shimano branded pair from the local tackle shop but they were exactly the same as the euro brand ones I got at ****** for about $30. I always avoid metal frames and try to avoid metal hinges where possable obviously fishing in salt water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoB Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 G'day guys I always used to buy cheap $30-50 pairs but over 12months ago found my uncle gave us a pair of Barz optics...I cannot believe the difference! I found cheap glasses would scratch very easy and only last about 3-6 months max. But they are still going strong. And the polarizing and tint is the best I have ever had by far, and my friends agree. I can't talk with experience for other brands though but I'll be purchasing a second set.

dagypsi Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 (edited) G'day I only use Bolle Venoms marine lens they are a blue lens designed for water use. I tell you what, the polarization is excellent and Bolle;s are strong. I bought off online shop from the UK and I got them to the door for less than a 100bux AUD They would cost over 240 bux here in aust. And the oz retailers winge about why we buy from oversees. Well why wouldn't you, I don't like getting ripped off Edited September 21, 2011 by mrsswordfisherman no ebay sellers please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martoiscool Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Mate I use spotters. I have a weird shaped head!! And they make a perfect fit or me. Just try them all on as each model is shaped To fit different melons. I get the glass lens and I haven't scratched them yet. They do get a fair bit of punishment too.

taloyoak Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Oakley with polarized lens like the flakjacket syle. I have used their polarized lenses for over 20 years- sure expensive but definitely worth it IMHO Some of the Smith are also good- sometimes function over style is the best way to go. just try on some brands, whichever fits your face best.
