Not all polarization is equal. Because not all polarized sunglasses block glare as well as they should. A polarizing filter is no guarantee of an effective glare-blocking lens. It depends on the quality of the filter and how the lens has been produced. Cheap polarized sunglasses may only cut out 10% of reflected light, but many people don’t realize there is a difference in filter quality in better made glasses. For example, Julbo’s Polycarbonate Polarized lenses cut out around 60 – 70% of reflected light, and ther NXT Cameleon, Octopus and Polar HD lenses cut out 99% of reflected light.
I make this short and simple:
1) "all polarized glasses are the same" is like "all cars are the same" <== true or false?
2) "Buying a cheap $10-20 polarized glass from Walmart is the same as Costa or Mauii Jim" is like "Buy a Ford is the same as buying a Mercedes or BMW" <== true or false?
Here is the bonus question for all anglers:
"Buying a Shakespear rod is the same as buying a Waterloo / Laguna /GLoomis since it will catch fishes" <== true or false?
Here is what I tell many people to do, for all around fishing I would get a costa del mar pair with 580 glass lenses in green mirrow. Go to academy and find the frame that best fits your head. Then go to Ebay and buy them there. Instead of paying 250 you'll only have to pay 150 or a little less. Most Ebay sellers of Costa Del Mars will have a buy it now price so you don't have to wait for an auction to end. The 580 Green Mirror lenses are amber base color which will help colors stand out but blocks plenty of sun and that color is the best for all around fishing especially sight fishing.
