And Google says,
Modern Ray-Ban frames are no longer produced in the USA or with the same exact B&L lenses. Without doubt a modern pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses will protect you and look great. But for the devoted vintage lovers out there - the saying “They don't make them like they used to” rings true.

I've got two pairs, my ones are called San Jose and both have amber lenses.
They are very good

I bought a pair of amber San Jose Flying Fisherman Sunglasses in 2019 according to my Amazon invoice looking at it and find them good to use and are as in as good condition today as when I bought them, Usually I have scratched etc the lens or bent the frames with sitting on them in about a year but these have stood the test of time so far . Usually though I use them for driving in more than fishing as I get crystal clear vision with excellent definition with no blurriness . But the only problem I have with them is, they are very comfortable to wear, but all of a sudden, they start to hurt behind the ears and become unwearable just like some face masks during lockdown did. One day I will get round to bending the arms to see if it makes a difference but they seem very rigid and frightened they might snap
They cost me £26.43 including postage and at the time bought them online from America as it was the cheapest option.
But my best glasses was my original Optix Commorants which I bought in the 80's but lost them and never been able to get another pair. i would jump at the chance of getting a new pair.

The old brown tinted Optix Cormorants were excellent. My wife ruined mine by insisting she put them in her bag, next to a nail file!!! She did buy me another pair for the next Xmas, but they had green lenses and wire frames, they weren't a patch on my old ones.

Genuine Oakleys with their Prizm Polarised Deep water lenses take some beating IMO, not cheap (especially if you have prescription lenses like I do) but the quality is second to none.

I got a pair of Optilabs sunglasses many years a go on the back of a recommendation on this forum from someone. They seem better than the cheaper pairs I've had before but couldn't comment on how they perform versus the premium models.

Spot on mate and anything that gets worn, all the parts are available to buy on line. I scratched a lens last year and it was so easy to get a replacement. I have four pairs of flak 2.0 XLs with prizm polaroid lenses. Where them for general use and of course fishing. I have a pair of standard prizm lenses for driving though. Quality is superb. Comfort is excellent too. Lens quality, top notch. Very important to me as I do a lot of lure fishing from the boat and need to see as far as I can into the water...

I need a new pair of polorised over glasses, currently I'm thinking of the Fortis ones, as the selection of overglasses from different manufactures is pretty limited.
Anyone any other recommendations?

I've got a pair of the Fortis polaroids and they are really good. I've just ordered the brown overwraps as well as I want some to use with my glasses. Good price for good glasses.
