Any suggestions on some cheaper (let's say under $40) sunglasses that would be decent to use when fishing, preferably polarized? Looking for a cheap pair that won't matter if I break or lose them .

Second on academy. In the past, most polarized fishing glasses will do the trick for a while. I used them for a while until I proved to myself that I could take care of a more expensive pair.

I currently have a pair of glass costas in for repair. I bought a $20 pair to use while they are out, and they work fine. I still would rather the costas though!

I really like Bomber eyeware for cheap arse glasses. Lenses are pretty tough. Frames hold up to my abuse as well as 3 kids under 9. Polarized if you want.

Bonus is they float. If you sign up for their email you can get coupons up to 40% off. Usually in the 25-30% range every couple weeks. I have 4 pair of tortoise glasses and paid $35 each.

I've been very satisfied with the Strike King S11 sunglasses. Been wearing them for a while. Usually get about 3 or 4 years out of a pair.

Last 40% email I got had a code SIGNUP40

I'm not going to do the legwork to see if it still works but I hope it does.

Craziest thing I've heard, so you're saying you bought them to impress your frat buddies but not for their designed application. Get the Strike Kings I'm not sure how they work but from a distance the S on the temple resembles a C to the casual observer.

I've used almost every brand of cheap fishing glasses. I've had Academy ones, Bass pro ones, Strike Kings ones etc. I absolutely love my Suncloud glasses. I have two pairs. They are very comfortable, great optics, and durable. They run right around $40.00. You can get several pair for the price of one Costa.

Suncloud is owned by Smith. Rei stocks them if you want to try them on and have one close. Otherwise Amazon is a great source. You won't be disappointed in a pair of Sunclouds. My Amber tint ones are my usual goto color.

I also love my Sunclouds. Think I paid $50 at Pack n Paddle a few years ago.

Definitely last longer than the Maui Jims I used to buy.

Never was in a fraternity and most frat guys I probably wouldn't care to hang around with. I wear the Costas pretty much everyday and when I go fishing in the pond in the back or in the basin. Just wanted a cheap pair that I could take out in the boat in the bay/gulf and not worry about falling in the water or breaking (which I've done numerous times lol)....that's it. Reading it again, it did come out kinda wrong.

If I didn't need prescripts I'd probably try the S11s or something like This
