Hey Peter, You cant go wrong with Costa Del Mars. They have several styles with inerchangable lenses so you can go dark grey, or amber or vermilion depending on the light conditions. They are called the Fluid ILS. They are so light that you actualy forget your wearing them and youl catch yourself going indoors and wondering whats wrong with your house, whys it so dark. :lol: Check them out, sure beats bying three pairs just to get the right lenses. And if any thing ever happens to them there customer service is great to work with. www.costadelmar.com

Depending on where your at i can show you a pair.

The Solar Bats in MOSSBACK color are the best I've ever seen for bed fishing and do a great job the rest of the year also. Many of the top pro's use these and complement them regularly.

I agree with the Solar Bats in MOSSBACK. GREAT glasses, matter of fact, you should check out their website and all of the styles and colors that they offer(mossback seems to be about the best). I have a pair that are like new that I am selling due to the fact that they were bought for me and dont fit me right, I like them so much that I am going to buy another pair that fit me correctly.

I have gone to Kaenon and have really liked them. If you don't like them the Costa Del Mars are well made and great lenses.

Look here to what you like.

...I have to say that the Solar Bats are great glasses in terms of comfort, protection, and superior sight fishing qualities. I use two different pairs according to the lighting conditions. The frames I really like are the Pana, and I have both pairs in bifocals (you can get the with or without prescription). The Pana frame is great because it is very strong yet lightweight, and it fits closely to the contour of your face so they won't blow off or vibrate at high speed, yet they have vent holes to keep them from fogging up.

In bright sunlight conditions you simply can't find a better color for spotting bass than the Mossback color mentioned by Korny and others. The color of the bass stands out in sunlight with the Mossback tint.

For early mornings before the sun gets bright, or on cloudy/foggy/rain days, I like the HCY color lenses. That stands for High Contrast Yellow. This really helps to spot bass when you don't have penetrating sunlight.

These glasses help us old guys spot bass as well as someone with young eyes. Of course if you are young, and have these glasses, then I imagine the bass could never hide from you in clear water.

...just realized that my sponsor list doesn't show Solar Bats or Wally G Baits...there simply isn't enough room in the signature block for that many characters (help sTony/Gator); but I did want to disclose that I am sponsored by Solar Bat because I do believe their product makes me more competitive.

I bought a pair of their Half-Jacket model 2 years ago. The thing I like about these is you can change your lens color to adjust to light conditions. Bought mine off E-BAY NIB!!! Check them out at www.oakley.com. Good luck!!!! 8)
