Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Costa Sunglasses Lens Color

I have been happy with Amber.

I just went through this.  My Maui Jim's in brown/amber with glass lenses just finally gave up after daily wear and fishing for 7 years.  (The frame, not the lens). 

I purchased a pair of Smith of Sierra Trading post and I thought I clicked brown but ended up with grey.   They are nice for driving, but too dark for fishing in the eveing.

I tried frameless Maui Jim's and that was a disaster. (But REI was great to work with) They cracked when I was cleaning them.

I now have a pair of Titanium framed, Amber Smith which appear to be glass (in Amber).  These are really nice.  A bit darker than my original Maui Jim's but still much better than the darker grey.

And use the glasses case.  It sounds funny but the Maui Jim glasses had a much slimmer case which made the case much more practical to stick in my pocket and had a built in clip to clip on a pack.  I just wish they weren't $300 for the ones I want.

Don't let your glass case get coated in potpourri.

I broke my grey Costa Hatches on a roller coaster. The repair costs for new lenses cost as much as a new pair of hatches, so I'm going to buy a different model with full frames instead. 

What color lenses do you suggest for fishing around trees and the environment we have in the DC area? I found my grey lenses to be a little too dark in the shade. Also, is there a big difference between glass and plastic lenses? I'd prefer 1 general purpose set of glasses, but I could be convinced to do eventually purchase 2.
