Best $9 you can spend. I just have to remember to take them off before the big motor is started or I will lose them going down the lake.

I just ordered a pair of fives in polorized, i have one pair that are not. They have a great fit plus very light weight. Im thinking of getting a pair of those strike kings just to have a pair to knock around and not worry about.

I'm gonna pick up a pair of those. I wear transitional glasses, however even though they turn darker in the sun, they aren't polarized. I wear contacts once in a great while, but my eyes get strained with them. I saw the cocoons for 40.00. That seems pretty good if they work.

Spending a few bucks for one of these may save you from loosing a pair. I use one. Glasses won't fall off or blow off and if you want to remove them they hang around your neck. No reason to lay them on the deck where some dumbo may boot them overboard. Very cheap insurance. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/st...003000_175-3-0

I had a pair of Jimmy Houston glasses for years that worked great but I broke them many moons ago. I recently purchased a pair of blue polorized flip up style clip-ons from Walmart that I just hate....they add more reflections to the water then is there to begin with......When I was in Florida last month I picked up a pair of amber colored clip ons that I just love....they are not the flip-up style, but they are glass lenses and as I found out the last couple of fishin trips they really work well and make it easier to see below the surface.

I wear prescription glasses so I can't just use regular sunglasses....The biggest down side to clip-ons is they don't give you any side protection and the sunlight reflecting off the inside of my lenses and metal frames can be frustrating to say the least....One of these days I'd like to try a pair of Cacoons, but the thought of spending $40+ for sunglasses that are somewhat oversized and goofy lookin just don't do it for me....lol
