A little back story....
I fish "A LOT". I have had the same pair of polarized glasses for years and the lenses are nearly clear at this point from sun bleaching I would assume. I wanted to buy a pair of high quality sunglasses for both superior eye protection and superior optical quality. Some research pointed me in the direction of Costa del Mar.
A guy I work with who is an avid sailor knew I wanted some costa's but was a little hesitant to spend the $190 for the pair I wanted. One day he brings in a little black and white catalog from a company called Campmor. Low and behold they somehow have certain models of Costa Del Mar sunglasses for 1/2 off. Oh and they have a web site too
I ordered the Frigate sunglasses with the glass lenses (grey w/blue mirror). $90 instead of $190, unbelievable deal.
I got the glasses the other day and let me tell you they really are fantastic. Unless I am staring directly at the sun my eyes are completely relaxed at all times when I am wearing these. The tint is darker than I am used to (remember my old lenses had become very light with age) but the clarity is outstanding. With my old glasses I would sometimes take them off to get a better look at something, with these it seems like I can see better with them on, even though they are tinted.
I can not speak to the quality of the polarization for fishing as it the middle of February.
I just thought I'd pass along this great deal to all of my friends here at I-boats. Let me know what you guys think.
