I normally have 2 pairs of glasses made 1 normal and 1 polaroid pair

but prior to this many years ago while on holiday in the USA I bought a pair of quality Fitovers not available here at that time they were great

and Im guessing there must be some really good ones produced now ? I have seen some Cocoons around £60 but IM sure there are lots of others do YOU ? use any ???

PLEASE dont be a nob and tell me to get a prescription pair made lol

Hi G,
I got a pair of these from Amazon and they're very good, they're called IGnaef Anti-glare Fit Over Sunglasses, Polaroid is spot on and there's plenty of room for a big pair of spectacles under them👍👍
Cheers

I use a pair of Snowbee ones I got from Troutcatchers. They're OK.

they look a clever idea but I like the complete wrap around type when fishing

You're probably aware of these, but the Fortis AM/PM overwraps are the ones I've got and work well in the conditions they're designed for. Because there are so many different variations of polaroids, it makes sense, to me at least, to get overwraps and not prescription glasses. That way you have lots of polaroids for all conditions.

Fortis over wraps for me. Loads of eye protection and don't know I have them on over my varifocals. Can also see the odd thing in the water

I have been reading about polaroid and the effects
and apparently the mirrored polaroid's give superior results so may well try a pair of mirrored Cocoons
I love my prescription polaroid's for normal everyday wear but sometimes when fishing its nice to have a wrap around type hence over fit

Where did you read that?
I would have thought if that was true the photo filter manufacturers would have been doing it for years

All I see there is a sales pitch for mirror lenses tbh
And not even polarised mirror lenses

One thing I do like with (non polarised) mirror lenses when driving, you don't get the weird affects on car screens.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
