"jps" wrote in message ... In article , jimh_osudad@yahooDOT says... I need to upgrade my crappy sunglasses now that we are back into boating. The last nice pair I had ended up in Lake Erie 2 years ago while on a cruise on our friends Lyman. Who makes a decent pair of polarized sunglasses with glass lenses? I think my last pair was a Sunglass Hut proprietary brand......no longer available. My eyes are pretty sensitive to sunlight. Any suggestions? Maui Jim. Go to sunglass hut, pick out your style, then buy 'em on ebay. Too damned expensive retail. Sheesh. Two dozen posts of crap, and only jps and I answered Jim's question. BTW--I like Costa Del Mar more than Maui Jim's. |

You mean high quality plastic. Why not glass? Plastic qualifies as a "sports" or "safety" lens. Nice for deflecting flying objects, like fishing lures. Glass does not. Bull****. I fish more than you do and have had more than one lure come flying at me - never a problem. No scratches and never a break. You are on the wrong end of this one Doug. :) Only glass glasses I had, were way heavy. |

Get a good pair of Ray-Bans with polarized glass. After 10 years and you're not happy with them, return them for a full refund and get the latest style. Eddie Costco tells you to return them to Rayban if they are defective. Rayban == worst warrantee in sunglass land. |

Eddie Costco tells you to return them to Rayban if they are defective. Rayban == worst warrantee in sunglass land. Not true. Costco has a lifetime "satisfaction guarantee" as apposed to a "warranty" from the manufacturer. Their agreement with their suppliers is that they will accept returns with no questions asked. I've returned all kinds of stuff. Some cause they didn't work, or I didn't like, or I just simply wanted to upgrade (except computers, they are six months). Hell, I even took a garden hose that was leaking at the male crimp and they didn't even ask for a receipt. Found I had bought it 4 years or so ago. btw, this guarantee by Costco is not widely publized. But just ask any employee that is in some supervisory position, they'll tell 'ya. As for the Ray-Ban warrantee. I had a pair of Wayfarers my daughter bought at a Goodwill store for a few bucks. After a while I cracked the frame after dropping them umpteen times. I packaged them up and sent them in to Ray-Ban. They were replaced with a brand-new pair. I told them they were a gift and I had no receipt. Eddie I had 2 aviators break at the temple piece. Sent them to Rayban, they said where is receipt and only 3 months warrantee. As to Costco, glasses may be different. But they said send to Rayban. I did, I no longer will buy a Rayban product. |

Last summer I got a pair of MJ trifocals. I'll never admit how much I paid
for them but it was shocking. Getting the laser surgery then wearing nonscrip glasses would be cheaper than replaceing them twice. Sure do like them though!!

Jim,
Try the MJs. Took about 10 days to get them back from MJ after they ground the lenses but for scrip glasses they sure are superior. I've been wearing scrip sunglasses for too many years but so far, none as nice as the MJs. Butch " JimH" jimh_osudad@yahooDOT comREMOVETHIS wrote in message ...

Any suggestions? Up here, some boaters use field glasses in their normally frustrated attempts to catch even the faintest glimmer of sunlight. I have been told the sun is round, and sort of a bright white/orange/yellow color. Thank heaven for our perpetual cloud cover, it doesn't sound like that mythical ball of fire in the sky would be much to look at even if one had an opportunity to do so. (There are some important reasons that the Pacific NW is not a hotbed of celestial navigation and/or astronomy) |
