what makes expensive sunglasses better exactly?


The the quality of the glass and coatings they use don't just cut glare but greatly enhance contrast. Which, in turn, greatly enhances my ability to pick up birds in bright conditions.

(During my Capt. Rick phase I went through cheap polarized glasses by the bushel before trying out some good glass owned by a customer who was routinely spotting working birds before me and finding them to offer the same effect as a prescription one didn't know he needed might. That experience sent me on a research binge that led me to a pair of then top quality Ocean Waves in a green mirrored tinted glass very much like Costa's green mirrored tint, only Costa's 580 glass is much lighter. That I took much better care of those "expensive" OWs and they lasted nearly two decades also made them cheaper than the $12 Bill Dance specials I was burning through.)

Like Rick, for years I used cheap polarized glasses when on the water, and since I wear glasses anyway, it was always a battle of "can't see worth a shet but my eyes are protected", or "I can see, but my eyes aren't protected"........sucked! Tried the clip ons, but they were too heavy. Three years ago I finally broke down and bought a pair of prescription mirrored Costas, expensive as hell, but one of the best investments I've ever made. It's like taking your eyes on a vacation :thumbsup:
