Title: polaroids; clip-on/flip-up or OTG?
Post by: corsican dave on January 05, 2016, 11:52:43 AM
following on from the prescription topic, I now have a new pair of non-polarised glasses.
the frame size is a bit larger than my previous pair, so i'm looking for either a larger pair of OTG polaroids or maybe some clip-ons. any thoughts or recommendations?
cheers, d

I now use polarized clip ons with my  prescription specs Dave. I prefer yellow or amber. Think I paid under a tenner for them on Ebay. Cheap means it's not a big deal if you lose them or when (not if) they become scratched. Not as good as high end wrap round fishing shades, but more that adequate for fishing in Scotland where you are not likely to be doing a lot of fish spotting.

Another  advantage of clip ons is you can buy different colours for different conditions.
