What kind of sunglasses - Page 2

MallenManson · 01-04-10, 06:33 PM

Rain X eh? Worth a shot

Bubba_Bruiser · 01-04-10, 08:24 PM

Might want to be careful though using it with coated lenses.

Reel Deal · 01-05-10, 11:56 AM

Just ordered a pair of Wiley X Reign from Zappos.com. Should be here the end of this week.

TN_Bassin · 01-05-10, 05:27 PM

I'm about to send off the Revo/ Wiley X deal next week. Going to give them to a cousin because he wants some.

I was thinking of taking advantage of that deal but didn't like the fact that you can't pick the lens color.

TN_Bassin · 01-05-10, 05:45 PM

Well I figured since I'm getting him the glasses he can live with whatever color he gets...

Totally agree! One other thing I don't like about that promotion is the selling price, not reel value, has to be at the specified minimum.
I found Revo SXs for $142 but they didn't qualify.

TN_Bassin · 01-05-10, 05:52 PM

That's just a marketing ploy trying to get people to buy their new Revo's. Not saying it's right but if it sells your company more reels...

Still a good deal, just wasn't good enough for my wallet

BustinBass197 · 01-06-10, 11:25 PM

Costa Del MAr in any model or any tint. They all look about the same, but they have different levels of polarization on them. Go for the 580.

Hugo_Hogz · 01-08-10, 07:07 PM

Solar bats w/moss back lenses. I used to feel the same way about the $12 glasses since I went through probably 2-3 pair a year. Why get a nice pair, right? But I started reading how bad those cheap glasses can be for your eyes and that if I'm going to be on the water for extended periods of time I should maybe start caring a little. I've had my solar bats for two years now and I'm a firm believer that they improved water visibility along with being easier on the eyes. Subconsciously now maybe I refrain from sitting on them or dropping them in the lake.

I've actually been looking at Solar Bats lately

Hugo_Hogz · 01-08-10, 07:41 PM

I got my bats on ebay at a great price, comparing with my buddies oakley's and wiley x's it was clear to me which glasses I preferred. Just my opinion if that helps. I would recommend the mossback green lens.

Yep, the mossback green lens is what I've been scopin out. My $12 glasses had green lenses and I really liked 'em

MallenManson · 01-09-10, 04:49 PM

Although it won't be official till spring, I'm now in the Solar Bat camp. Found 'em at Gander today for $49.99 for Pacifics

TN_Bassin · 01-10-10, 02:21 AM

Solar Bats are great shades I wore a pair of older ones before I got my Oakleys and they worked great. Got the Oakleys just to check them out, and they're great shades too. Thats a good price on the Pacifics they retailed last year for 70$ I think. Plus they have the Noctular lenses.

Check out these shades they might be right for you:

MallenManson · 01-10-10, 10:07 AM

Wow! That's almost my house payment

BassinNC · 01-10-10, 10:10 AM

Wal-mart specials for now.Broke my costa del mar.

BigBassin144 · 01-10-10, 10:36 AM

I guess I'm a bit late here, but for those of you using the Wiley X perscription glasses, how much did those cost?

nofearengineer · 01-10-10, 11:19 AM

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.

Bassboss · 01-10-10, 11:39 AM

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.

TN_Bassin · 01-10-10, 07:44 PM

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

Some-a-na-fish, glad my bro-in-law is an authorized dealer. Might have to pick up a couple of pair.

I've been wearing Costas, but they hurt my temples (wide head!). I tried on some Wiley X, this model to be exact, and I really like them. In fact I will be going back over to my Vision Care Center today to pick them up.

nofearengineer · 01-11-10, 10:42 AM

Bob....seriously...try the Fatheadz!! I think you will be pleasantly surprised. They are at Walmart Vision Centers.
