    20 minutes from the Great Smoky Mountains N.P. and lots of cool water fishing.

    Well now, I don't know about the rest, but the cheapo's that have distortion also give me a headache. In fact, any eye protection that has the least amount of distortion would give me a headache after about 20 minutes. Before I wore glasses I would spend days looking for a pair of SG that did not have distortion.

    Now that I wear glasses full time, bi-focals so I can see to read , I went to the wear overs. Have 2 pair, one for fishing and semi-bright in brown and the other for full sun in black. Pick them up in Walgreen's for about $25 and can wear them all day fishing, playing golf, driving, whatever.

    If you wear glasses, check out the wear overs.

    Since I also wear glasses, I use fit overs for fishing, but I have polarized trifocals for driving or walking around outside on sunny days. For fishing I have amber lenses as they seem to work better in a wider variety of lighting/conditions. Smith Optics seems to have a pretty good reputation and you can find some pretty good deals at SierraTradingPost.com

    I wear prescription sunglasses. My vision ins. makes me pay $25 for the tinting. I make sure that I buy frames with polarized lenses (bolle, etc) and ask to keep the lenses. that way, when I have to buy new frames I have the polarized lenses put into the old frames, and then I have a new pair of Polarized every two years when I get new frames.
