Sunglasses
- Thread starter giles
- Start date
I bought a pair a couple years ago. Loved them at first, but the lenses have lost their film or something. I can barely look through them anymore. They have become my weedeating glasses. I attribute it to the water at the golf course only because my boss said the same about his Oakleys. But Wiley's are advertised as fishing, so that doesn't hold up. I was really disappointed in them. Always been an Oakley guy for the most part when I find them on sale. I want to eventually invest in a nice pair of Costas. When I fished/lived in Georgia, my buddies swore by them for standing up to the saltwater. I always try them on, just can't justify the cost.
Damn those are huge reminds me of what old people wear after cataract surgery

I never got into the name brand sunglasses, had prescription for the last 20 years or so. Polarized is a must though, even on the prescription. Will be looking to get a new pair one of these days.
More of the background for me is that this new company is crazy about safety glasses. Being that I dig ditch, it makes it hard to see with dark glasses. So I generally flip them on top of my head. I was told to fix this. I am trying. Clear or yellow glasses have given me a headache. So price is pretty much out the window.
What about some of the "rose" tinted shooting style glasses that increase contrast?

Being a rain day, I had plenty of chances to try different shades on. I don't think the Amber color is going to work.
Terrain - Black Glacier Polarized
ANSI Z87+ Certified Eyewear made to stand up to whatever life throws at you. TR90 Full Coverage Frame with metal inset Shady Rays logo. Premium Polarized Ice Blue mirrored polycarbonate lenses with amber tint: 100% UV protection 10% VLT Includes Microfiber Cleansing Pouch + vinyl brand decal.shadyrays.com
I just bought 2 pairs (not these) from Shady Rays after breaking my Costas. Super pleases with what I received and for the price, don't see me going back to another mainstream brand.
Someone also mentioned the rose. This made bright things pretty intense. I wish the sun was out to get a better feel. I think I'm down to trying to find a yellow polarized or what Leopold is calling blue.
Pulled out the new ones today. My daughter said "I didn't think your new sunglasses could make you look anymore dad like than your old ones." So I got my wife's opinion and she said with the beard I look like Taliban. My son said I looked like an X-Men character or Men in Black character.
If you want an opinion on how you look in whatever you end up with. . . My family won't pull any punches.

I think it is very obvious that I gives zero fuggs about what I look like.

Thanks. I'd hate to pay for the name but I think I'm going to anyways. Not like they are trying to make jeans here. Glass is what they do.
See if you can find something with a gray base. Typically you want to match the base lens color to your environment (blue for open water, green for streams/ponds, amber for mixed environments, gray for all purpose, etc). Gray tends to work well in Ohio
. For me, an amber base with with green mirror was the sweet spot. I’m super light and glare sensitive and those fit the bill. They’re probably a bit dark for what you’re doing with shadows so I think maybe something with a gray base might work. Might be worth a shot.
Aint no wonder people buy online. Walked in to grab them, sign above door says best price gay-ron-T, showed them they were cheaper than from leupold. They wouldn't honor it. Walked out.
