Sunglass Advice Needed

[jetman]

I am looking to invest in a decent pair of polarised lenses to reduce glare. Budget upto £120. Had a look at Oakleys polarised at http://www.oakleysdirect.co.uk

Are they worth it?

Cant say about the Oakleys - I wear them ashore, but find the lenses smallish afloat.

If you want a staggeringly wide range of sunglasses aimed purely at the sailor then look at <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.ullman-sails.com/english/index.html>http://www.ullman-sails.com/english/index.html</A>

The best I have ever owned have been a pair of polarised Serengetti's - just brilliant, but I cant find their WWW details

I think that the OTT would suit

I bought a good pair at Southampton Boat Show a year or so back. Each lense consisted of 2 polarised lenses, one behind the other, so you can rotate the polarisation between the lenses from 0 to 90 degrees so you can control how much light gets through.

They cost £20, what makes the ones you are considering worth £120?

Look at Maui Jims available at Sunglass Hut shops

I agree absolutely about the Serengettis - fabulous! They might be over the £120 budget, though.

oakleys
no contest
the lenses are superb the water looks amazing through the polarized lenses as the galre is removed
i wear prescitpion lenses so £120 quid sondslike a bargain
nb only clean the lens with the bag provided. buy some good retainers.
