slingshotz Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I've been doing some reading up on good fishing sunglasses as I'm getting tired of the cheap $30 ones that scratch all the time. I've read some great reviews on the Smith's and wondering if anyone knows where in Calgary I could go try a pair to see how they fit?

BurningChrome Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I bought my Smiths at Iron Bow. If Mike doesn't have the ones you want in stock he can order them in for you too. Scratching has a lot to do with lens material though. Plastic lenses will always scratch easier than glass, with the tradeoff being that glass is heavier.

Guest bigdirty Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Try the rose ignitor. Great all day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slingshotz Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Thanks for the responses, I know the Smiths come in three different frame styles and sizes so I need to feel how they actually fit as I've found it hard to find comfortable glasses over the years.

Lots of coverageI like the Chief frames but they didn't come with the lenses I wanted - polarchromic ignitors in Chromapop - so I went with Dovers instead.

BurningChrome Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Wonder what I'm missing without the chromapop? Feels like I can see small dries on the water a lot better than I used to. Not sure if it's really the lens or just my imagination. I like BBT's cake What you two do in the privacy of your bedroom is entirely your business.
