I'm after a decent pair of sunglasses. Don't want to spend daft money. Seen a few of the fortis range but not sure what they are like, anyone have any recommendations?

I have had two pairs of Fortis, normal polaroids and the Switch version, the switch tend to make my eyes ache after a while i have no idea why tho. Also a Pair of ESP which were nice i just find angling orientated shades dont last !
I now use Sungods polaroids ( skiing brand ) a bit more money wise, but lifetime guarantee and customisable.
They just replace them once sent off and approved if you have any issues. Very comfy for wearing for any length of time optically and physically i have both the 4KO and 8KO polaroids and can highly reccomend them.

What's the difference between 4ko and 8ko?

I got a pair of maui Jim Polaroids on eBay (basically new) for about £40. There's always a few pairs knocking about on there. Just gotta wait for some that don't look too ridiculous. They're miles better than any carp branded nonsense.
Is there any difference performance wise between fishing branded poloroids and the polarised Oakleys or Ray Bans I already own? Some of these fishing glasses cost more than designer ones

I wouod be very surprised if any are going to be as good
As oakley. Make their own lenses, in house.
I use VR28 black iridium for driving and fishing sunny days
And bronze for the rest.
Maybe some high end yank sight fishing brands might have better optics. But I've never tried them.
As a Driving instructor I have to tests people's eyesight
And I will always beat a youngster with 20/20 using my
Polarized prescription oakleys.

Undoubtedly. They'll also be way more durable. Just use your Oakley's!

Always used maui jims and im yet to find anything better and ive had most of the big named brands. Ive got them in rose, brown and grey lenses and they are superb. As mentioned you can pick them up on ebay a lot cheaper as they are around £140 new. Think i only paid £55 for my grey ones and they were brand new.
I much prefer an amber lens for looking into the water. The cheap Fortis wraps do me fine and if they go over the edge of the boat it's not a disaster.
I don't think any of the more spendy brands do an amber as you would look like Bono walking down the street.
Not a fan of the South African Special OPS Rugby fan look that you get from a pair of Oakleys.

Have a look at Eyelevel polarised sunglasses.
Various tackle shops sell them at sensible prices, but they do sell direct I think.
For some reason when I add Web link it 'loses' the url, but copy and paste should take you to Eyelevel

I like the fortis aviator style. Had the mat black ones around £25 then when I broke them got the switch ones, tbh I couldn't see any ‘switching' going on so when I broke those I got the cheaper mat black ones again
