summer...and really like them. Dan


I've got three different styles of H2Optix and there is one caveat about
them; certain models have a nasty tendency for the lenses to pop out
when the frame flexes. IIRC, the Santa Marta model is the worst in this
regard.

Also, while the floats do keep the glasses on the surface, the tiny foam
floats can be nearly impossible to see on the surface. Twice I've almost
lost these glasses because the floats were not visible enough. I've come
to the conclusion that the best float is one that sticks up out of the
water prominently, rather than laying on the surface. Color cannot be
relied on to make them visible if the float doesn't protrude well above
the surface.
