I have heard and read many different opinions as to lens color composition and brand and was looking for an informed opinion from the excellent folk here....

I have been debating between the Costa del mars and the Kaenons, I was leaning towards the costas with the glass lenses as even the Oakleys I have now with the plastic lenses scrtach so easily,( hence looking at glass lenses) and the cheaper "throw away" glasses just give me a headache after a short time. I have 20/20 vision and frankly the el cheapos just don't cut it for me anymore, before I spend that kind of money I wanted some INFORMED advice as opposed to just "what somebody I know says"....LOL Not trying to be a wise a$$ just want some real on the water experience. I know some of you here with so much time spent on the water would have formed valuable opinions on this subject.

Suggestions if you please?
Brand? Style? Lens color? Your experiences?

Thanks to one and all for any responses given!!!!
If you were to adhere to the rules of the lens colors for the type of light, you would probably own 3 or more pairs of glasses. Personally go get yourself some good polarized lensed glasses and you'll be fine. Don't worry about the amber lenses, green, grey, or whatever. I personally buy $15 glasses from Wal-mart because I have a bad history with sunglasses. I have bought 3 pairs of sunglasses that cost me over $30 each pair and each pair got lost, stolen, or broken. Sure they were great but I just can't be buying sunglasses all the time.
