      Thank Dennis, I easily put +100 hours of work into the evaluation. It was so hard to narrow it down to just 5. Tight lines!

    All sunglasses are absolutely great!! Even the new replacement lenses like revant are amazing! You just need to choose the right lense tint for the type of fishing you do!

      Polarization and UV protection are a must. You're exactly right about the lens color. Tight lines!

    Really helpful thank you. can I ask a question If the info was provided I seem to have missed it. Which len color was in top choice 1 &2 ?

    • @GuideRecommended
      @GuideRecommended  8 місяців тому

      For the Guide's Choice - Glass Lens Bronze
      For Local Kines - Bronze
      For me the Bronze and Copper lenses provide the best contrast without being to dark. Most of my fishing is early and later in the day when the sun is at a lower level. Meaning lots of glare off the water.

    Got some rap around polarized amber lens ones from Walmart a couple of years ago ($15)...still use them. They work just fine.

    If you cannot tell the difference between Vuarnet, Costa, Smith, Revo, etc and Walmart cheapos then don’t have the best vision.

    I see you wear glasses. please do the same test for fit over sunglasses. I wear glasses and cant see without them and would like to see your results for fit over sunglasses.

    • @GuideRecommended
      @GuideRecommended  4 місяці тому

      Great suggestion! For a long time I used Cocoons, but they scratched up pretty easily and didn't fit over my glasses well. I know it costs more, but I get prescription sunglasses. (only one thing on my face to fall in the water) Tight lines!!

    Too bad these tests don't tell you how these glasses are going to hold up under hard use!

    • @GuideRecommended
      @GuideRecommended  3 місяці тому

      Thanks for the comment. When you say hard use what are you thinking? I'd like to understand so maybe I could create a test or evaluate the sunglasses that way. 😎

      I still have Maui Jims from 1996 that still work great. Glass lenses are pretty durable. These glasses have been through hell and back pretty much, even lost at one point. I recently used them to pressure wash for about 4 hours .
      One of the arms is missing a little piece of plastic but the inside of it is a steel flexible metal rod. Still fit great.
      The pair I had you could bend the arms to fit your head better if needed.
      If you can find some old stock Maui Jims with the thicker glass (made in japan) they hold up great. The new Jims look great too. Try a look at the newer "AMBERJACK" by Maui Jim.
      Probably my fav fishing glass style yet.
      The Smith and Jims would be a good bet.
