It is hard to beat Costa Del Mar Green or Blue Mirror lens for flats fishing. They are $$$$$$. If you ever try a pair, they will ruin you. You will never want any others IMO.

I agree, Costas are hard to beat. Green or Blue Mirror is great. I just bought a pair of Siver Mirror Blackfin 580s and I absolutely love them. You can save a bundle if you get them on ebay, just make sure its a reputable seller you buy from. Go to bass pro and find exactly what you want, and then find them on ebay. I saved over $100 on mine.

I would go with the blue lens for off shore fishing. just realize that the 20 pair will not give you the clarity that the higher quality/price gasses will provide.
I went years getting the cheap walmart glasses until i sucked it up and spent the $$$$$ on a good pair. I couldn't believe what i was missing

I use a brand called Tifosi Optics https://tifosioptics.com/polarized/index.html . They have Fototec Polarized lenses that adjusts for different light levels. I use them in the morning as the sun comes up and they darken as it gets brighter.You can get a pair for about $100. I will only use brown or green polarized lenses for inshore. They show more of the color spectrum and make it easier to see fish.

boater1234,
Blue mirror = have maxium contrast and color in full sun and eliminate glare.
Green mirror = have good visual acuity for fishing inshore, flats, rivers and streams.
Gray = Great all around for sports on water and land. Keep color saturation and natural contrast in med to bright sun conditions.
Also check out your choice of sunglasses websites for their recomendations.

I haven't found a style of Costas I like. I live in Florida so I sweat a lot. The Costas that I have seen the nose piece is integrated in the lens frame and sweat pools on the bottom of the lens. So they constantly fog up. I like to use a open bottom lens with an adjustable nose piece. The open bottom lets water/sweat drip off and the adjustable nose piece doesn't divert water onto the lens. I'm sure Costa has something like this but they are all over priced

When I was trying to wear contact lenses, I bought a pair of Wiley-X, they had a gasket inside to help snug to the face when running down the lake. Now that I cant wear contacts very well, I have a pair of prescription polarized but I need side blinders or something because light will come through and makes it hard to see at times.

You must be a Police Officer 8) There's some really nice stuff in those catalogs at really good prices. I thought about getting the Oakley Flak Jackets. I found some locally for $80 so I may pick up a pair.

My buddy had a pair, yeah I stress HAD as a certain lake here in Indiana now owns them. He accidently flipped them off his face dealing with a bug that got near his eye. 
Even though he works at Dicks Sportinggoods and got a killer discount on them, he was mad!!! I tried them when he first got them and I love them, wish I could get a pair right now. Just no money for them.
