RE: Cheap Sun Glasses

My SGs used to meet their end when:

a) I sat on them

b) they fell off when landing a fish

c) once blew overboard when I put them down on the cabin top

So, I now use Bella Sole - cheap, virtually unbreakable and interchangeable lenses.

I use a polarised pair for outdoors and a light-blue lensed pair* in the wheel-house which reduces the glare when looking out the windows but still*lets me to read*the plotter, sounder etc. I also have an amber pair for fog, drizzle etc but have never used them. Bella Sole come in a set of four (I think) frames and about eight pairs of lenses) all for about $100.*
