    Look at some of the solar bats. I have a pair that have the split lenses. I paid just over $100 for them. So far been a great pair of glasses.

    Not saying these guys are telling you wrong, but I have owned many pairs of glasses. My favorites are the Wiley X
    You definitely need to try them on. It's not one size fits all.

    What he said...espically if you want a pair for sightfishing...the Copper 580's lens is tough to beat!!

    I still have a couple pairs of the Magellan polarized glass. Good glasses, decent price.

    Personally, I'm a Costa Del Mar guy and have had 3 pairs now, one 400 and two 580s. You can find a good condition pair of used Costas on eBay for under $100. You might even be able to find some of the 400s new for under $100. They're awesome. I like Green Mirror lenses because the green mirror outside is middle of the road as far as cutting glare goes. They cut enough for freshwater fishing and driving, but don't cut too much to make them too dark to wear in relatively low light. They also have the Copper gradient inside which is the best for looking into water in full light conditions.

    More expensive, but it's hard to go wrong with Costas. Get in touch with Brian (waketowake33) at The Tackle Trap. He's a BBC sponsor and a Costa dealer. He gives a nice discount to BBC members

    I have a couple pairs of the strike king and a pair of the berkleyf from wal mart. I have trouble keeping track of them and keeping them from getting scratched so I don't invest a lot in my glasses.
