Best place to shop for sunglasses - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have the same problem, my head is pretty wide so it was hard to find glasses that would not get uncomfortable after wearing them for an hour or more. I shopped around for some time and ended up with Maui Jim Peahi, they have spring loaded hinges so they will open a little and fit snug unlike regular hinged glasses that fit tight. They aren't cheap but they are definitely well worth the money.

You know... for a good honest pair of polarized "fishing" sunglasses, I always like what walmart puts out in the fishing section. The optics are good and they have all sorts of styles and colors to choose from. The prices can't be beat either since you can damage them easily, making expensive sunglasses more stressful to use. LOL

I think Rapala or Berkley makes the ones I have.

Flying fisherman are very inexpensive and I have owned a few of them. I have owned maui jim's also but the fit wasn't perfect.

Smith sunglasses are reasonable and excellent quality also.

I would stay away from the really cheap stuff though.

Your eyes are important.
