Poly or Glass? Does it make a difference?

580 green lens. Green seems to cuts through our murky water the best.

Glass lens is more scratch resistant than the plastic lens.

True. I wear amber if it's cloudy or I'm in a duck blind.

I have the fathoms 580G green mirror

looked at the brines but they were a little too big for my face.

after having good sunglasses, it's hard to go back. especially when fishing

I always had amber glass 580's and liked them. I broke a pair and my wife got me some more as a present and she got me the amber 400's. They don't work nearly as well. I've started inshore fishing a lot more and I'm definitely getting 580's soon. I'm going to have to decide if I'm going back with amber.

Guess I need to go somewhere and try on a few different pair.
Looks like the Triple Tails are pretty nice. Amazon has em with the 580G lenses for $189.

I have the triple tail and wish I would have got the brine, they are to sleek and they let in to much light under my cheeks. Def try them on first.

You need to go try them on. Would you buy rims without putting your eyes on them?

You need to go to BPS or Bowies and try some on. Def personal item that needs to fit your head. Glass is to heavy for me, Amber poly does me right.

Have they changed the Brine frame in the last few years? My Brine's are broken and I need to send them in. I tried a pair on in the store a few weeks ago and they didn't seem to fit the same. I was told that if they change the frame, when you send them in, they can't replace the parts and send you a new frame. I don't feel like paying for repairs if they are going to send me back something that doesn't fit right.
