Awesome Sunglasses

Featured Replies

Guys,

for any of you that are in the market for some new sunglasses for fishing, check these out http://***/cgi-bin/order/scan/sf=category/se=sunglasses?arECPGNJ;;71

These things are so comfortable and it is amazing how well you can

see into the water. I have been wearing them for about a month now

and I love them. I just ordered 2 more pairs about 5 minutes ago.

They aren't really Gary Yamamoto products, but

I do think it is some relation. I did some research

on the brand and it looks like another Yamamoto

in Japan owns the company (Swans) and Gary is

just selling them on his site. I do not know of any

other place that has them, but they are awesome

glasses. I have worn a lot of sunglasses from different

brands and these are by far the best I have personally

had.

When it comes to sunglasses I'm really cheap. I refuse to pay any more then $20 on a pair, because I either break them or loose them. Take my favroit pair I ever bought at walmart for $5! Two weeks ago I was fishing and it had got fairly dark so I took them off and put them on the bill of my hat. Then 10 min later it felt like something bit or stung the top of my head. So I had instictive reaction of jerking off my hat hard and smacked the tope of my head with it. Naturally the sunglassses went fling off into the water. ;D (look in my photo to the left) I can promise you if it had been a $100 pair I would have went swiming lol. In the end I just stoped by walmart and bought anouther pair for $5.

A hundred dollar pair can be worth it though. I've been to the bottom twice now for mine and now I have a float on them.

Pay for sunglasses what your eyes are worth to you.

I am no eye doctor or anything, but a guy that I

worked with on a project about 6-7 years ago told

me a few things about cheap glasses, He said that

although sunglasses may allow you to see into the

water a little better than the naked eye and

they block the sun, they actually can cause severe

damage to your eyes. If I remember correctly he

said the lenses do not have a coating, that good

quality glasses have, that blocks the UV rays and

things like that. When you have the sunglasses

on, your eyes dilate. When this happens your cheap

glasses allow a much greater amount of harmful rays

to penetrate the eye causing a lot of damage.

You can research this information for yourself online,

but that was some of the stuff I remember from our

dealings. He worked for a major sunglass mfg (whom

happens to have an ad at the top of the page right now).
