Looking for sunglasses for whitewater kayaking. Any brands to

FWIW, I've given up on expensive glasses for paddling. They simply get
lost or damaged too often. Although I buy good optics for everyday wear,
on the water I now use fishing or safety glasses from Walmart, Home
Depot, Big Lots and similar sources. They're optically correct, the
frames are more durable than most expensive glasses and they typically
cost less than $10 (I've found them for as little as two bucks). If I
lose or damage a pair, I don't care.


ever since I started capsizing racing dingys in the late 70's I've been
using pieces of string with a loop in each end over my eyeglasses when
boating. I've been in the water many times but never lost a pair of glasses.
I'll admit I've never rolled a kayak in fast moving water.
