Lol. As you no doubt know Oakley have about 300 designs
I think the uninitiated are thinking of the ones cricketers wear

Or cyclists, or snow boarders. so many hideous designs to choose from
The ones I had looked alright, I wasn't particularly impressed with the lenses tho
I didn't find them particularly durable either

You can find several Oakley polarised sunglasses between £90 and £140, which is less than an average carp reel. For that you get quality in the lens and frame, plus the ability to replace any part of the glasses via Oakleys spares. That's all way better than buying cheaper, fishing branded crap. Buy cheap, buy twice.

Big difference. Oakley actually do fishing specific lenses on several of their ranges - I do a lot of lure fishing and having good lenses makes a huge difference to results. I can see much further into the water with my Oakleys and whilst they allow you to see better in bright light, they don't darken the image you see that much. Get the Prizm Polaroid lenses and you'll not regret it. I have four pairs for different conditions, all Oakley Flak 2 XL's. which are just awesome. Highly recommended.

Eyelevel link.
I couldn't add it on my phone, but can on my tablet.
Eyelevel glasses aren't silly money, you are probably looking around £20 tops for a decent pair.

Eyelevel look great and are cheap but they break very easily, ive broken two pairs just cleaning the lenses, the frames are brittle as anything.
So after 3 pairs of them im after something more robust.

If its just for fishing, the ridgemonkey glasses (pola flex) are hard to beat for £60.
I find I reach for them over my ray-bans unless I want to look smart

I honestly don't know what you do to get them to break, the pair I've got I have had for over a year, and wear them for driving, outside and fishing.
I am tough on glasses myself, and Eyelevel have lasted longer than fishing makes, and at the budget price aren't bad if I do break or lose them.

Had a pair of Fox for about 20 years now. No idea where i got them or what price.

Another thumbs up for the Maui Jim's. I was lucky enough to be given a pair in work. They are used by the commercial bluefin harpoon guys in the States. These guys make their living, or part of it, from being able to see and pick out the specific fish they wish to target.
The Maui Jim glasses are superb - and knock RayBans (I have three pairs for general use - and have tried using them in France for fishing) into a cocked hat.

I think the Maui Jim sunglasses are a joke
yes they may be the best
but the cheapest I could get a quote for a prescription pair made was just shy of £800 no flipping way IMHO could they possibly be £650 better than my £150 pair made by my local optician

Cleaning the lens with a soft cloth frame broke around the lens on 2 pairs. I wont be getting another pair. Shame as they look good.

If you push them up onto your head when not using them you bend and weaken the frames and hinges, cleaning the lenses might then apparently break them.
I clean my lenses while driving and have not broken a pair yet, however I have had to bend a pair or two back into shape after pushing them up onto my forehead or higher when I don't need them on.

Are you seriously bigging up a brand of sunnies that break if you wear them on your forehead Nick?
