I don't know which three above are best, but I used prescription Seaspecs for two weeks and they worked really well.

Just oredered a pair of KURTIS surf goggles ... top of the range suff at $200, BUT UVA/UVB - Polarised and fully flexible (bend unreal) ... ALSO, no lenses to pop out like the SeaSpecs (they are rigid and do break as well) ... check: http://www.kurtisusa.com/surfgoggles.html for all the hype about 'em !

Sunglasses

Postby silver-surfer » Wed Dec 19, 2007 1:05 pm

Hi guys.

I'm a surfer keen to have a go at kitesurfing, hence joining the forum.

There are other options availble on the market, I've been wearing my sunglasses for a couple of years when surfing, I have lost one pair, but thats through stupidity, some conditions are just too big for sunglasses!

I bought my first pair from http://www.maximumeyewear.com, then found a supplier of the same model in the UK http://www.surfingsunglasses.co.uk there's currently an offer on now £7 off down to £29.99 including delivery.

I think you'll find sea specs and these, are all sourced in the far east and basically the same product, just with different branding.

I used to wear SeaSpecs, i was very happy with them, then following a crash one lens popped out.
I bought another, same thing within a week, my shop exchanged them, and then a third time.
I don't know if he had a bad batch, but with a very limited warranty he stopped stocking them, as he had too many lenses pop out.
I gave up and don't wear anything now.

Dirty Dog, Tube

The strap is removable so you can wear as regular sunglasses.
Flexible frame
Polarized

I have a pair of Seaspecs but will be dropping them for these ones.
Much more comfortable (big head), and more style
