JT Bagwell Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Guys, for any of you that are in the market for some new sunglasses for fishing, check these out http://***/cgi-bin/order/scan/sf=category/se=sunglasses?arECPGNJ;;71 These things are so comfortable and it is amazing how well you can see into the water. I have been wearing them for about a month now and I love them. I just ordered 2 more pairs about 5 minutes ago. JT Bagwell Quote

JT Bagwell Posted June 2, 2008 Author Posted June 2, 2008 They aren't really Gary Yamamoto products, but I do think it is some relation. I did some research on the brand and it looks like another Yamamoto in Japan owns the company (Swans) and Gary is just selling them on his site. I do not know of any other place that has them, but they are awesome glasses. I have worn a lot of sunglasses from different brands and these are by far the best I have personally had.

Simp Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 When it comes to sunglasses I'm really cheap. I refuse to pay any more then $20 on a pair, because I either break them or loose them. Take my favroit pair I ever bought at walmart for $5! Two weeks ago I was fishing and it had got fairly dark so I took them off and put them on the bill of my hat. Then 10 min later it felt like something bit or stung the top of my head. So I had instictive reaction of jerking off my hat hard and smacked the tope of my head with it. Naturally the sunglassses went fling off into the water. ;D (look in my photo to the left) I can promise you if it had been a $100 pair I would have went swiming lol. In the end I just stoped by walmart and bought anouther pair for $5. Quote
jiggerpole Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 A hundred dollar pair can be worth it though. I've been to the bottom twice now for mine and now I have a float on them. Quote

JT Bagwell Posted June 4, 2008 Author Posted June 4, 2008 I am no eye doctor or anything, but a guy that I worked with on a project about 6-7 years ago told me a few things about cheap glasses, He said that although sunglasses may allow you to see into the water a little better than the naked eye and they block the sun, they actually can cause severe damage to your eyes. If I remember correctly he said the lenses do not have a coating, that good quality glasses have, that blocks the UV rays and things like that. When you have the sunglasses on, your eyes dilate. When this happens your cheap glasses allow a much greater amount of harmful rays to penetrate the eye causing a lot of damage. You can research this information for yourself online, but that was some of the stuff I remember from our dealings. He worked for a major sunglass mfg (whom happens to have an ad at the top of the page right now). JT Bagwell Quote
