Default Polarized glasses

Sorry to bring this up yet again, but i am completely and utterly confused. I am after some bolle boomslangs and just had a look on ebay, now the ones i know about are the black ones with sandstone lenses? I want them for general fishing use, but want good ones, but with all these other types like cactus and blue frames etc. i just dont have a clue if they are authentic or not. So i ask, what boomslangs are the best, ie the lenses colour, and if anyone has any for sale can you please pm me! Any shops i can get them cheap?

Any help much appreciated,

Thanks
welshy

Hi Welshy
Might be worth dropping Teif Terrorist a PM. He was selling Boomslangs with CGT lenses recently. I bought a pair and they are the real deal and excellent.

Hi Welshy, I have recently bought a pair of these
http://www.sportfish.co.uk/product/3...im_Kanaha.html
after trying Toby's (beat3) turtle bays.
Excellent lenses and proper trendy too
If you are interested in a pair phone sportfish and tell them that you can get them for £80.10 on the www.isyte.com website and they will match that price.

Another make & model to consider is/are Kaenon (make) Kore (model).

Absolutely excellent, but too pricey at UK prices (£130+). They can be found on ebay for $89.99 though.

Probably worth finding a UK retailer to check frame size and lens colour as the darkest lens is too dark for all but about 3 hours of the UKs summer!

If you can find them, Aquas are also worth a look. I've been using a pair of their Black Marlins for about five years. Light & comfortable, with good polarising.
