Thread: Polaroid Sunglasses

After having a pterygium removed I think they used a 9"grinder and a bag needle for the stiches any sunglasses self tapped on would be better than going thru that again

Local bloke had none in so i went with penetrators
The sting of the price will fade. but the quality will remain :-)

Cloudy day here today.
Wore them all day in the grader without a problem so money well spent.
Eyes arent aching either

I drive all day every day for my job. Just today drive back from Rockhampton to Brisbane. So do about 60-70,000 ks a year in a car in North NSW , all over Qld and NT


So due to this i only wear Ray Bran Polarised sunnies. Main reason is they don't show the reflection on the inside of the windscreen of the dash. Also believe them to be a lot better than normal glasses

But understand the problem as can make crapy tinting look wired and funny and turn your iphone sideways and it will go dark or even go black.

I lost my last pair overboard that wernt that special,Jarvis Walker cheapies.
I cant wear sunnies in the grader as the tint is too dark and I cant see the blade when its in shadow.
Would be very interested in any reviews you guys have of upper market fishing glasses.I like the idea of your photocromatic Spotters Roverrescue,I may even be able to wear them whilst grading.
Thanks
Andrew

My old man (rip) was a professional fisherman, part of his fishing season was spent up at "the lookout" on the cliffs of Portsea front beach spotting schools of fish (mullet, bay trout, Australian salmon) swim into there netting zone, where he would signal a fellow employee to row a dingy out whilst the net would spool off the back of the boat, and do a lap around the fish. He only used Polaroids which he would buy at the local chemist, now this goes back 20+ years, before you had these new breed of sunnies and before people would spend $200 on sunnies. All I'm saying, is he only needed $20 sunnies, he could spot a single fish from over 200metres. May be he ate his carrots, you never see a bunny wearing glasses now do you.
He was also good at spotting "white pointers", and no I don't mean the fish kind

Vern,
I dont disagree but these days "polaroid" $20 sunnies are $50 - $60 and are made with plastic lenses. I use to buy them and was happy.
I would go through a pair every 6 months due to scratches from chucking them in the centre console, bashing through scrub etc etc

Spotters may be $200 but mine are now going on 2 years, scratch free and clear as the day I got them.

And besides $50 polaroids vs $200 Spotters is kinda like comparing a 300tdi to a zuzu
both are diesel, both rattle and make noise, both get you from a to b,
B..U..T...

Totally agree

I was playing golf with a bloke the other day who was wear a $50 pair of plastic polarised sunnies and he asked what was so special about my Ray Bans so I let him wear them. He was shocked and said they were like wearing nothing , they were so clear. He admitted that they were worth the money after wearing them.

I have four pairs one in each car. Can't live with out them love them.
