I like Maui Jims ...
In Response To: Polariod Sunglasses Question ()

... not cheap, probably $200 or so, but I really love them. Using them in the Bahamas for 8 years now, mine have the copper tint lenses. To me, there is a huge difference between the plastic and glass lens. You get what you pay for. I think the plastic tends to cloud up and scratch. Definitely get a couple pair of Croakies, I knocked mine off once in about 30 feet of water, by the time we got turned around and anchored, it took me well over an hour swimming around with the sharks, but I eventually found them, quite lucky. I can tell you when other people put my glasses on, the reaction is stunning, and when I put theirs on, the reaction is also stunning ... ick ... I'm pretty happy with mine and don't at all mind the price tag.

Cheers, John
