Can anyone recommend a pair of polarised sunglasses that are decent and reasonably priced?

Thanks

I had 2 pair of Mako s Steel framed jobbies good glass lenses however I wasnt impressed with the quality of the frame.
Maybe the plastic frames are better.

I just bought a pair of Bolle coachwip glasses. They were about $200 but are the most comfortable glasses with the best glare free lenses that I have owned.

Now that I have put that in writing, I'll bet I drop them over the side of the boat while travelling at 20 knots on the weekend!

Go the Makos, the spotters are the way to go now days apparently. I have a set of the metal framed ones, and they are fantastic. Only downfall I have found over the last 3 years, is that they let to much glare in from the sides. I am now looking at a new set which I think are called Ice, though not sure.

Greyman, I thinck along these lines. "You have to get the best pair that you can aford!" As the glasses get better the price goes up. :-/But remember one thing, a good pair will last for years and years. Its an investment in your eyes.......

I have been wearing the old aviator style glarefoil polaroids (the original brand) for 25 years. I have a big snooter and these have the nose tabs to streatch way out ;D, most other dont fit me as well.
Anyway for fishing I have no complaints with these they do the job and at around $35 dollars a pop at the chemist I keep a spare in the boat gear. The current pair are over a year old and still fine, but dont sit on them! nq

I'm more than happy with my Aerial polarised Sunglasses. Cost about $20 are light and comfortable, are just as good as anything else i've had and I don't burst in to tears when I drop them over the side.

$20 from my local tackle store.

I dont go for brand names if they are more expensive as I cant see any difference.

Spotters? Are they Mako or is spotters the name of the brand? How much do they sell for?

Spotters is the name of the brand. They are stocked in most of the bigger tackle and chandlery stores. I find the penetrator lenses a cut above the rest of the pack though Mako are putting out some good stuff as well.

i have 2 deferent sunnies for deferent areas.
i have Zenith Cobra in dark bronze lens for open water.

i find the spotters a little heavy but good to light up the dark areas.
the zeniths are very lite.
i used to have grey lens for offshore and yellow for estuary work.
spotters $270
Zenith $120.
as long as they rap around their good.
