I always seem to break or lose expensive glasses so I buy the cheap ones. Now I'm reconsidering. Problem is, it's very hard to find shades that fit my face and look good. Wide head. I don't want to spend a large chunk on costas or maui Jims if I don't like the style or fit. Any big headed anglers have some suggestions on brands and styles that work for you? Something tuff enough that won't damage easily or cheap enough to be replaced when they get scratched. I'm rough on shades.

It's worth it to spend a few bucks on a halfway decent pair of UV coated and polarized sunglasses. Just like everything else on the yak, leash it with croakies or a similar retainer and don't cheap out on eye protection.

Us poor buggers with prescription glasses always get assed out on cool shades...

I know CK, I'm stuck with the Walgreen's clip-ons. They are pretty good though. UV coated and polarized for around $15, not a bad deal.

Tried the clip ons. Unfortunately, they would scratch my regular glasses.

X2..

Seems like the last thing most kayak anglers upgrade in their vast fishing arsenal is their eye protection?!!.....Kayakers abuse their gear more than the next guy. There is a BIG difference between quality sunglasses compared to the walmart cheapos.. For that reason I use Scheyden Precision Eyewear's mineral glass lenses that not only have the best polarized coatings for X-ray sight fishing vision & they truly stand up to my constant abuse & repeated polishings otw with no coating loss or scratches..

The Scheyden Precision Eyewear Collection is engineered to aerospace tolerances and manufactured in the small community of Fukui, Japan, renowned for producing some of the finest eyewear in the world. Scheydens are available in Fixed Gear Titanium, full wrap Fixed Gear Hybrids, Titanium classic Flip-Ups and Titanium Dual Rx Flip-Ups. Available in non-polarized or polarized: both of which feature a multi-layer coating process that produce superior optical clarity and comfort. Prescription Rx lenses are available on request.

On top of purchasing a good pair of sunglass, consider using a quality strp to keep them connected to your face. PAL (Paul) posted back in June 2011 http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/s...ad.php?t=10439 (see post #9 on the thread) about Nexstraps. I use them a they are great. Here is a link to their website: http://www.nexstraps.com/index.html

Also they have great customer service as part of teh end cracked and they replaced no problem.

Think any decent brand is polarize will do but make sure they are wrap arounds......no matter how good the lens if they dont protect all around then they just dont

[roadx]

for those who need a good cheap pair of polarized shades that are some of the best scratch resistance and stand up to abuse? try pugs.
http://pugsgear.com/ i am a trades person and go through safety glass like there free (and they are ) these pair of glass has lasted and stayed scratch free longer than any other glass i have ever owned. the polarization is awesome with lifetime warranty.
cheap and durable. love love love'm
