Sunglasses

They look a bit geeky, but I really like these:

They fit right over my Rx glasses and provide complete wraparound
antiglare protection.

I have had good luck with Hidalgos. They sell various brands, such as
Ray Ban, American Optical, and Serengeti. They also sell various Frames
such as Ray Ban, Randolph Engineering, Titanium & Monel by different
companies.

They also grind to prescription including bifocals. So, you can get a
top notch frame like Randolph engineering with custome made lenses.

Their web page has plenty of informative advice, but is totally useless
for ordering. Go their web page and order their hard copy catalog. You
will not be sorry.

My vote (and my $) go to Serengeti. The drivers tint helps bring the
contrast between clouds and sky into view. Not as good in low angle sun
conditions as some, such as the Costa Del Mar's that they replaced (got
crushed in the door of the truck). Good in shadow or direct sun.

I'll have to throw my hat into the Serengeti ring as well. Very high
quality for the price, I am a satisfied multiple repeat customer.

In my opinion, there's nothing better than a pair of polarized Sunglasses on the frame of your choice. I've tried several polarized glasses over the past 14yrs of fishing and I've yet to find anything better.
