Odyssey Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Any recommendations? I’ve got a nice set which are more suited to beach/chilling out than working on a boat. Im after a set of polarised ones which don’t cost the earth (in case they fall overboard) but need to work and not fall apart… any recommendations? 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These aren’t the cheapest- around £150 depending on what style. I’ve also had Polaroid polarised ones before, they are good and only about £60 per pair.

Been using them for over 20 years, but had to replace them a couple of years ago when I lost them over the side on the Skerries ! They didnt fall off, like a prat I left them hanging on the A frame and went around for another drift, and then they were gone 🙄 Edited January 22 by GPSguru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malc Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I buy cheaper ones because they get lost or broken and I prefer to spend my dosh on other things, but I have a dark pair from Argos, Dunlop sports wrap arounds which were about £20-30 and a lighter coloured pair from Amazon also wrap around £35 ish so I have a pair for bright sun and darker days. Although they are cheap I can't fault them and I have them on a lanyard that loops into my hat band so less likely to lose if I fall off my kayak or lean over the side of the boat. I'm too tight to buy glasses that cost in the hundreds unless they are for reading. JonC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flip side of it is that you tend to look after them a bit better, not putting them lenses down and putting them in a hard case when not in use.
