Default Polarized glasses question

Has anyone seen or tried these:

Since I wear perscription glasses this would seem like a geat alternative to the Òclip-onÓ kind, and since my eyes are very light-sensitive, would amber be darker than grey? Any other alterniatives? Thanks!!!

I picked up a semi-quality pair of polarized glasses some time ago. They are wonderful. When you pick your lense color, factor in the type of weather you'll mainly be fishing. I picked up a pair that would be good on gray, overcast days. Work like a charm. They aren't too shabby on sunny days either. If you wear prescription, I say go for it and get some that cover your entire eyes as they'll help your vision, and block wind and rain out of your eyes.

I keep a pair of these in my boat for the occasions when I forget my regular prescription sunglasses. They work OK, but feel (and look) a little weird. But since I look pretty weird at my best, nobody seems to notice.

I know a lot about polarized lenses. I would advise you to get the amber as it will brighten up the greens and make the days brighter. The glasses you were asking about look like they will nicely block stray light. Sometimes these are a bit bulky, but the idea is a good one. It will come down to the comfort of the frame, and you should get them adjusted at an Optical shop or your Eye Dr's. There is usually no charge and it can add some real quality to your time on the water. Good luck

My wife and I tried on the Fitovers at the Sportsman's Show. We were very impressed with them. The difference is remarkable.
