Super User eyedabassman Posted January 22, 2007 Super User Posted January 22, 2007 I would like to see what all of you like for sunglass color lens. Overcast day Low light Bright days Dark water Clear water I have been useing Solor Bat in a moss green lens. But I have trouble on a cloudy day or in low light, trying to see weedlines ect. The moss lens works good on bright days. :-/ :-/ : Quote
BASS fisherman Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 I think overcast and low light could be put in the same catagory. I use amber colored lenses for low light conditions. I also use smoke or grey lenses for bright days. Quote
HPBB Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 I used the different colors for different light condition, but I found that amber lens work the best for me, so now that is all I use. Amber helps in low light condition Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted January 22, 2007 Super User Posted January 22, 2007 I have two pair of sunglasses. I have the Solar Bat Moss Back Green for sunny days and a pair of amber ones for low light conditions. Quote
Valascus Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 I have been wondering about this for a while now. Is there any particular color lens that works well for ALL conditions, or do you have to own multiple pairs of sunglasses for different situations? On Solar Bats website, it says that Moss Back Green is the best all around color for fishing (claiming it helps you see more fish), but it also says that Gray is the best all around color for any sport. :-? The lens colors they have to chose from are Amber, Gray, HiConY (yellow/green), Mossback Green, Yellow, and Vermillion(red). All colors mentioned are polarized with the exceptions of Yellow and Vermillion. Quote
Super User Catt Posted January 22, 2007 Super User Posted January 22, 2007 I use amber for all conditions because of its high color contractibility Quote
Gorgebassman Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 I have a pair of solar bats in the moss back green as well as in the yellow and I use the moss back green most all the time I rarely use the yellow at all anymore and dont really notice a measurable diffrence. Quote
squid Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 I USE YELLOW FOR LOW LIGHT, LIGHT SMOKE FOR BRIGHTER DAYS, AND I BORROW MY PARTNERS .... I THINK..... BROWN/GREEN?....FOR WHEN I NEED TO LOOK DEEPER INTO THE WATER. HE HAS SOME AWESOME LENSES, BUT HE ONLY HAS THE ONE PAIR, SO HE IS OUT OF LUCK ON THE LOW LIGHT DAYS. ;D Quote
MoBassFishN Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 I use an amber/yellow lense about 80 or 90% of the time. Only for the very brightest of days, I switch to a vermillion lense. I see much more with this than I do with the green/grey lenses in bright light. Everyones eyes will be different on this one, but low light, you can't beat the amber or yellow lenses. I like one that is more yellow. Quote
Super User flechero Posted January 23, 2007 Super User Posted January 23, 2007 I also use amber in all conditions. They say gray lenses in bright sunlight but the amber still produces better contrast. For my eyes, amber allows me to see deeper into the water regardless of cloudy or clear. The only drawback to amber on the bright days is that they aren't normally as dark as grey lenses. If you buy good quality glasses, you will have more than adequate protection from uv light, which is the most important thing. Quote
yurstruely Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 i wear a amber lense wih a greenmirror lense but as for lowlight conditionsandovercast i dont wear shades then. I wear costa del mars there the best sunglass out there and have a lifetime warranty they repair any problem u have. but thats just me Quote
NATHAN_JAMES Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 I was told you want to match the lense color with the water color. I use a tea or brown color lense, due to our rivers are that color (iron ). And on the ocean I would go with a blue or green. I don't buy expensive eye wear anymore ether because I either loose them or break them. In the long run I'm sure everyone has their prefference. Quote
