Bolle Marine sunglasses...not so good review
I bought a new pair of Bolle Marine sunglasses from Academy about 4 months ago. What a huge waste of money. I think I paid $120. From day one, they were hard to clean. They seemed to constantly get a greasy film on them. Now, the lense coating is bubbling, and I feel like I have cataracts when I wear them. Looks like I should of spent $12 for a walmart pair.
can anyone suggest a decent pair to replace these for under $100?
got a pair of onos recently on sale for $55. very clear and they have the old man feature of built in magnifiers which i unfortunately have need for. have yet to use them on the stream, but they work well driving.
Since I wear eye glasses, I use Fitovers as my sunglasses. They do a good job on the water and they've held up well. Way under $100.
I've been very satisfied with the Habervisions I bought this past spring. I got the "Nice" style, which runs $90. Couldn't believe how much better I could see on the water once I got them.
Look at the H3O line with changable lenses. I really like mine.

Fitovers or Cocoons, the only way to go when you wear regular glasses (unless you can afford 'scripts!)Originally Posted by oldfrat

You said it in your first post...WalMart for less than $20. Can buy 5 pairs for that price.

I'll second the Walmart fit-overs for regular glasses. They have high quality lens and come with a practically bomb-proof carrying case. As I remember their price is closer to $16. The amber lens are perfect for both stream and lake fishing. Once again, they have great "bang for the buck." I don't leave home without them. 8T
You might try SierraTradingpost.com. They have a good selection of polarized sunglasses on sale and they're great to do business with. Just a thought...
