Polarised Sunglasses

Post by slamminsam »

Unfortunately my trusty Tonics are nowhere to be found so I'm in the market for a new pair. :( Didn't mind the Tonics but thought I'd see what other people are recommending for use up here. I don't mind forking out a few $$$ for some decent ones, but obviously want good quality. I've seen the difference when site casting on the flats between the cr.p and the quality ones so tell me what you think is best!

I like my trusty spotters. They are more expensive but i drop them often and still get at least a year out of them.

I am on my fourth year with a set of prescription Tonics, good value and no issues.

Can't say I can see big fish in the river with them but I'm pretty sure that's because there aren't any big fish :D

I won a set of Tonics last year and they are great and they fit my big melon too.

Having had Spotters, Costa's and Mako's over the past few years, in my opinion they are really all a much of a muchness. Buy a top quality GLASS lens and you can't go wrong. For me, the fit is most important as the best lens is still a shite pair of glasses if they don't fit well.

For my head, I have found the Mako's to be best fit and I use the 'rose' lens which I'm extremely happy with.

I've had glass lens spotters in the past and found them heavy. The glass tonics are lighter and have stood the test of time for me.

Grey lens MAKOs is all I've run for 10 plus years.. had a couple delaminate on the edge but warranty replacement lenses was sorted out by bright eyes in a couple of weeks turnaround.
I can't stand the bushfire look the amber lens gives when wearing them all the time.

THEY'RE ALL PRETTY GOOD THESES DAYS.. ..

comfort is the key when you've got them on all day .
Tight lines 'n' keep the shiny side up people.
