Speaking of sunglasses, if anyone rides these are what I have. http://www.7eye.com/Diablo-Glossy-Black/ Mine are the original Panoptx version that was $200 since they have changed the name to 7eye but are tremendous bike glasses. |
I have CDM 400's and 580's and Kaenons. Been wearing CDM for years and I love them. They do delaminate sometimes. Usually CDM will replace the lenses free. It's hard to say which ones I like the best. The CDM's I have (eliminators) wrap and tend to fog. Thats when i usually switch over to the Kaenons. If you value your eyesight and spend alot of time on the water better dish out the money and get some protection. Don't trust your most essential sense to $5 glasses.

Are there any good sunglasses out there that can be worn over your prescription glasses? I'd love to buy one of these, but I'd be blind without wearing my glasses. I have a pair of the Cocoon sunglasses from BPS, but I'm not really impressed with the results.

With the fogging issue, I've found that the glass lenses fog easier than the Polycarbonate. The Polycarbonate are lighter also, but I feel that the clairity of glass is better, but that just might be me.

Costa Del Mar Recommendation
I have been looking at some Costas...am looking for any advice on body and more importantly on lenses...I mainly fish rivers and lakes (no ocean fishing)...usually Caney, Harpeth, and Priest...so many options in lenses that I feel like they need to offer an online course!

Wordty,
Here's some info to better inform you. All Costa Del Mar sunglasses are hand made in Daytona Beach, Florida 400’s are produced in three different kinds of lenses (CR39, Polycarbonate, and 400) the 400’s just eliminate glare while the 580’s do that and make the reds, blues and greens more vibrant. CR39 – Scratch resistant plastic Polycarbonate – Weigh less, won’t shatter like glass so good for shooting, mostly offered in frameless glasses like aviators, eliminate glare 580Glass – Have the clearest visibility, eliminate Glare, no distortion near the edges of the lens, reduces yellow light, more vibrant reds, blues, and greens, heavier, can shatter (glass), will fog easier, and if left in the cold will fog while on your face until the glass comes up to temperature. Offered in copper, blue mirror, grey mirror, silver mirror, green mirror 580’s are typically the most expensive I have a pair of Triple Tail’s coming with the 580G Blue Mirrors coming to me. These will be for fishing in the Gulf and south Florida. As for frames I like a frame that will block light from coming in on the sides between my face and the glasses. My Man O' War's had removable side pieces that would block the light, but that’s one more piece you can loose, as to where the frames of the Triple Tail are larger on the side to reduce light in. As far as to what frames are the best it’s up to the individual user, and what fits their face the best. Lenses are a personal choice also where I like the blue mirror for the beach, amber for creeks and rivers where I may encounter shady areas or lower levels of light. For what is best they are all good, it’s just what fits your style and preference. Jeremy |
