I've bought them from 10.00 to 100.00 and can tell you that it really hurts to lose or break a pair that cost close to 100 bucks.  For fresh water the best is amber or a light yellow, for the salt you want a dark blueish shade. I now buy the 20.00 range shades with the magnifiers built in as bifocals. Can't tell the difference. You can find them in the sporting goods dept. of your local or chain dept. store. If you want to spend more, Orvis is having a sale right now on some of their mid-price sunglasses. Orvis.com

Tight Lines,

OldSalt

Status: online 		Please remind me to remove the sunglasses from atop my head wen connecting/disconnecting dock lines.

Jumping between the boat and pier or dock was not a good idea

I would like to buy another $120 pair of Carrera or $95 Serengeti driving glasses but just keep buying other necessities instead- that is enough to fill the truck or half a tank in the boat.
If I spent more time driving I definitely would have them again.

I lost 3 expensive pair then found some decent cheap sunglasses at Grossmens Outlet Store in Allegheny NY and have not lost them docking yet.

I also found some sunglasses with magnifiers at Dollar Wave that were pretty good-I went back to buy more and they were closed

Polarized Glass with a 2x or 3X  magnifier would be even better-use lanyard!
