hi all i currently use some cheap £15 eye level poloroids and have some vouchers to spend but am not sure if i will gain a lot from more expensive poloroids can anyone who has took the plunge help me out cheers john

I had a pair of the eyleevel shades and they were fine, but were quite big and felt cheap.

I recently bought a pair of IronMan glasses from boots (spend over £5 and you get a 50% off voucher for sunglasses, and they have a range of polarised lenses). I have found these to be pretty good, until I sat on them.

I don't think there's any need to splurdge too much on expensive shades - it's not as if a £100 pair will let you see much (if any) further into the water than a £15 pair.

That said, it all depends on how much your vouchers are for. If you've got a hefty discount then I'd go for it.

If your on rivers or stalking! some of the (only some) more expensive ones are better.
If your just fishing larger waters they dont help.

I use Oakley sunglasses, not cheap, however I consider them good value. I need prescription lenses, they do them. I can choose different lens tints for various conditions. They are optically correct which means I can use them for driving.
It's up to the individual, buy what suits you.

Hi Farm boy... my thoughts for what it's worth.... for river fishing, good polaroids are invaluable, for obvious reasons. For stillwater though, for 99% of the time, they are nothing more than eye protection.

I guess that the Maui Jim vouchers then, John ?

My own view is that they are invaluable for our sort of fishing - think how many you catch on the hang ? Good or great polaroids make a real difference to how far off you see those following fish.

Maui Jim's are about as good as it gets. I have a pair and use them all the time.................and I had to pay for 'em !!!
