I usually use polarized sunglasses, cheaper the better as sometimes you will get sandblasted, however I am looking at the Costa Del Mar Saltbreak. Its a bit pricey and my eyes are getting a bit worse so I figure maybe its time to get a better pair and I have a freshwater fishing trip coming up. 8-)

Usually I don't wear any... due to fact its more a pain in the arse to keep em on and i only wear quality glasses... which doesn't mix well with sandy hands.

Ray-Ban Clubmasters in Tortoise. With non-polarized lenses so I can see the LCD screens.

Polarized sunglasses is the way to go.
Trade off is some LCD screens are not adapted to be viewed with polarized sunglasses and there is some blackout when you tilt your head.

Costa’s mirrored and polarized. Have a strap on them in case they fall off or I want to take a break from them since they are expensive. I can see my LCD screen on my CTX with them on normally.

Maui Jim's. I found a perfect pair of Mauis and months later I cracked a lens. I sent them to have both lens replaced for $62. I was surprised to get back a brand new pair with a hard case.

That’s cool Zigzag. My other sunglasses with a Rx are MJ’s.

Since I hunt central Florida beaches, I use non polarized prescription wrap around sunglasses. Non polarized so I can see the screen better, prescription so I can see everything better and wrap arounds to help keep out side glare and the ever present blowing sand.

Just the solution for my situation....

Non polarized due to screen distortion, and I use the ones with the cheater lens in the bottom. I have a dark pair for bright sun and a lighter bronze pair for evening or overcast days. It works for me.

I have and use a pair of salt break 580g green mirror. My eyes aren't very good anymore but these glasses are expensive but very good. They replaced mine once under warranty for shipping both ways. There great for driving on bright days as well:icon_thumright:
