I have Fortis Bays Switch, works for me. £35 and lens adjusts to light level.

I just picked up a set of O'Neil polarised glasses from M&M direct for about £20 delivered. The frames feel a little flimsy but the polarisation is noticeably better than my previous fox glasses.

I'm still trying to decide on sunglasses but for definite I want wraps, undecided on side glass or large solid side.

Has anyone used/got/offer a opinion on, the Flying Fisherman Cape Horn or the Scierra Tac by any chance?

Default was the Fortis switch for flexibility but my original wraps are prone to fogging.

I bought the Scierra Tacs in the end, the standard none vented are fine as is for me. I also bought the vented in brown and yellow thinking it might be the same frame but it's not, it has a tighter wrap angle. A few minutes with a hairdryer set to hot and the frame was bent out to a shallower wrap angle and jobs a gooden. The vented were on offer at Gerrys at £14, can't grumble with that.

I'm not sure I'd buy mail order again for glasses. I have a large fit head and a lot of the info you need to see if they're likely to fit isn't listed and you have to ask for it. I'd also like a pair of photochromatic/switch at some point.

Been using the clear spot apex for a few weeks now, I can't recommend them enough as they're super light and comfortable, the lenses are superb, absolutely no distortion that i can see and they seem very well made, come supplied with a decent case and bits, lovely little company to deal with too

I've used the Fortis isolators for the last year, there the best polarised glasses I've used so far.

Just in case you're tempted by the cheap Savage Gear ones (like I was) - they are terrible, when I compared them to my mates Nash ones, I could see the bottom miles further out with his.

Are you sure?
