What do you all use for sunglasses/shades when paddling around here and there?
I went out yesterday in one of the local harbors and while taking a picture
(stupid me) dumped my sunglasses which sank rather quickly to the bottom
and for the life of me I couldn't find them... Needless to say they weren't
a type that floats (nor were they a type specifically for boating).

So... I'm now looking for a new pair of glasses that the following attributes
(in order of importance)

o floats one way or another (whether by the glasses or croakie like strap)
o Polarized
o Won't fog up (a "feature" that my now-sunk pair suffered from) after a while
of use.
o Won't fall off easily
o Cost $100 preferably.. My last MIA pair was $40

Any comments are appreciated..

You can get all of those attibutes by adding a floating strap to a pair
of $10 polarized fishing/safety glasses, available at any of the
"marts" and home centers. While I prefer higher quality glasses for
driving and general use, the cheapies have good optical quality, durable
frames and I don't get all worked up if I damage or lose a pair. When
you're out on the water and the lenses are covered with spray and salt,
you can't tell the difference between $2 glasses and $200 glasses.
