Flying Fisherman San Jose Polarized Sunglasses with AcuTint UV Blocker for Fishing and Outdoor Sports

I rated these flying fisherman polarized glasses gunmetal with smoke lens (5) stars because they are excellent quality and inexpensive but I need to relay this additional info to other potential buyers. After initially wearing them for a whole day the tops of my ears ached a bit because the padded type arms where they meet the ears is thicker than what I am used to. I am sure I will get used to it but worth noting nevertheless. Also, these are polarized. Anyone not used to polarized glasses (I wasn't) should expect some differences. Our Nissan has had the side windows tinted with a dark type tint and when I wear these glasses and look through the tinted windows, I immediately noticed that all other vehicles have a discolored kaleidoscope/color changing effect going on. The only thing I can figure is that maybe the vehicle tint is also polarized thus the double polarization is causing this effect. Worth noting but I still really like these glasses. Purchased March 2014 for 18.22. I saw them before for 16 dollars and then they went up right before I ordered.*******************************UPDATE 3/24/2014I have had these for over a week now and have noticed a few more things to note about the glasses I have. There seems to be a flaw in the left lens. It is a faint blurred area in the bottom of the lens and can be seen easily if you look left and to the bottom when wearing these glasses. Also, the same lens has another blurred/glare spot at the extreme left if in the sunlight just right. Irritating a bit but these are still pretty nice and I will keep them. Maybe they are selling off the flawed glasses here?

Bill Dance used to make an affordable polarized fishing glasses and then they were discontinued. I have been looking for another type of Amber colored affordable glasses forever! The amber color is the best and most are really expensive! If you wade fishing or have lost a good pair of glasses on a boat, you want a good quality pair of glasses that work and if you lose them you are not out lots of $'s. These also fit very well!! I have a very small head and most glasses just do not fit right! These fit perfect and comfortable! I recently used them for Fin whale watching in the sea of cortez! There were perfect!! Reduced the top water glare even in 4 ft swells and on a windy day when the water surface was rippled! I had everyone on the boat borrowing my glasses to see better! Amazing for such an inexpensive product!

Love these glasses! Throughout my life, I have never gotten accustomed to wearing sunglasses. I enjoy the bright, vivid colors of our world and I have never wanted to darken them with "shades". However, I recently decided to try sunglasses while driving on very bright, sunny days. I searched for quite a while to find glasses that I thought I'd be willing to wear. These glasses met all my criteria, including:1) Light lens color, not too dark.2) neutral color lens, not brown or green, which would distort nature's colors too much for me3) Polarized lens4) Silver or pewter color frame, not gold5) Slim frame, not thick arms which might block peripheral vision6) Full coverage of field of vision, limited space where bright light could slip inMy only concern before ordering was whether the unisex style would appear too large for my face... It does not. My husband really loves how these look on me. Also, at this price for polarized lenses, I wasn't expecting a quality product that would hold up to hard and frequent use. I was wrong again!These glasses really feel substantial and well-made. The frame is a polished pewter color that looks expensive. Instead of a sharp angle at the hinge, the frame makes a gentle curve around to the arms and really looks cool. Because the arms curve around, I would think this frame would work well for someone with a wider face. Unfortunately, however, this same feature is the only thing I don't like about these. This gentle curve means that the frame doesn't hug my head near the ear. Instead it hits the top edge of my ear, becoming uncomfortable with extended wear. I can reposition them occasionally to alleviate the discomfort. I'm thinking about taking them to my local optician to gently bend the arms to keep them from touching the ears, and yes, I like these enough to go to this trouble.Bottom line? Still love these!If you find the information in this review to be helpful, please click "yes". Thanks!!

Nice sunglasses

I can't believe how nice these sunglasses are, especially at this price! I never expected sunglasses priced under $20 to get so many compliments. They're quite solid feeling, especially for sunglasses at this price point, and they fit and stay in place quite nicely. Also, despite being metal frames, I find they are quite comfortable to wear for long periods.I did have to spend about 10 minutes making minute tweaks to the nose pieces, to get them to sit properly on my face, but after that, they're perfect. If you end up adjusting the nose pieces like I did, I recommend using a fine pair of needle-nose pliers and making tiny, almost imperceptible adjustments, since the more you bend metal the more it weakens. Just make micro adjustments, try them on again, micro adjust again, try on again, rinse/repeat as needed until dialed in.I bought these primarily for driving in low-light situations, for both the added clarity of the amber lens, as well as the headlight-glare-cutting capability of the polarization, but have found myself also wearing them around town during bright sunny days. Despite being amber lenses, they cut the sun's brightness quite well, while making everything a bit more vivid and clear. I would definitely recommend these to a friend and will surely buy again.

Very well made. Excellent for no glare on water and comfortable.👍
