Default over-glasses.com... any good?

Thinking about getting a pair of these (see link below), but wanted to know if anyone has had or does have any, and could tell me if they are ok. Willing to take a punt as the don't cost the earth, but just thought I'd ask first. Worried about looking like Mr Orbison too lol

Default Probably not the exact same product.

But I have two sets of similar. In the main I just use 'clip on's' on my spec's, but if the glare is coming in from the side, these things are fabulous.

Hi Mick
I have a pair of Cocoons (they look very similar) and wouldnt go back to clip ons.
Fred, dont you get back glare when you are using clip-ons ?

Not much ... yet. At this time of the year (winter river fishing) the flow (my area) is pretty much east to west, with the sun (when you can see the darned thing) pretty much from 'due south' so you're looking into same. And there is where the bill of a baseball type hat comes into play.

Front edge tipped down so the sun's track is above and the clip-on's to handle the glare. When that (or from the side later in the day) doesn't play, on go the Cocoons.

Cocoons are a bit clunky to ware over regular glasses, but they DO just as 'advertised.' And actually cheap as chips price wise (Why I have two sets.)

I invested in a pair of the Fox overglasses with amber lenses, quite impressed but the lack of different lens is is a bit of a downer. Ther are probably better value similar products out there. I cant get on with the clip on type, I find they scratch the lens coating of my specs over time.

i got a pair of snowbee sunglasses with 2.5x magnification at bottom , a great job if you only need glasses for tying on flies etc.

I got some of these Catch Pro glasses with (or without) prescription lenses.

Catch Fishing Sunglasses - Rapid Eyewear

3 different colours included and not a bad price at all compared with some of the polarised ones I've seen.
Really happy with them!

Did anyone get a pair of these in the end? Would be curious to see what you think. What colour lens did you go for? Am looking at getting a pair or something similar very soon..
