What kind of sunglasses

[nofearengineer]

If any of you guys has a head as big as mine (literally...figuratively, no one does ) you probably have trouble finding glasses that don't make you look totally ridiculous.

I buy my sunglasses from a company called "Fatheadz." I like the WarpXL and DusterXL models. They are very comfortable, and extra wide for us super-human mutants with beach-ball sized noggins. They are 100% UV filtered, and are polarized too, so they help with sight fishing.

WalMart started distributing them a while back (I used to have to order them online without trying them on ), so their prices have dropped considerably...about $50 a pair. They are very well-built and scratch resistant too.

Around $ 275.00 for polarized No lines.

Thanks basscat. I may have to look into that if I lose my magnetic clip-on sunglasses that came with my glasses again.

Dang, I really need to get me some shades.

I'm wearing a cheep pair of SK shades, but their scratched and I need some new ones.... hmmm, what to get, what to get.

What to get all depends on how much you want to spend.

I got a nice pear of Under Armour. They were about 150$, but are very comfortable and work well. They hold snug when running at high speeds and do a good job of letting you see into the water.

Tried the Fatheadz on at Walmart and ended up going back to the vision center and getting the Wiley "Jake" sunglasses with the foam around the eyes. WE'll see just how good they are when I hit the water.

I 100% cannot do without the wind protection like the Jake's have. I have 225 for power and it's impossible to see without it. I even wear a full size goggle for running. So two things to consider. Running and fishing.

For the hard and cold running I use my Save Phace Mask. A lot of guys I fish with use motorcycle helments for protection. I definitely get dry eyed standing there fishing in the cold wind, so I am looking forward to the protection.
BB, the Wiley X Jakes I got today do not have a prescription, I only paid $149 for them. My insurance picked up 20% of that, so my out of pocket was $119.

Unfortunately, I have no other choice for my sunglasses but Fatheadz. Even my eye doctors, back before I got Lasik, didn't seem to give a rat's a$$ that they had no frames big enough for me. Even finding shop glasses is next to impossible.

I have a new pair of wiley x slydes right now. April I will have some wiley x bricks.
