polarised fishing glasses

I bought these to try and eliminate the need to remove polarising glasses and replace with reading glasses when fly fishing. I returned them for a full refund as I couldn't get on with the magnifying area always being in my line of sight. It's hard to explain, but I was always aware of this whilst fishing.The magnification area is good at 2.5% and enabled me to inspect the fly and change them on the river bank. The polarising, again was good as you'd expect. The glasses were a good, comfortable fit and looked stylish.The glasses arrived in a clear, rectangular, plastic box. Enclosed, was a softbag for protection and a decent quality, black rope, neck retaining strap.I only used them for an hour but what I found was that when walking along the river bank stalking trout, the areas around my feet were blurred, particularly when looking at the river. A couple of times it just felt a bit uneasy on my feet as I didn't have that full vision. Very difficult to explain but I think it was the fact I couldn't get used to that magnification area being blurred when looking ahead. I think if the magnification was lower on the lens of the glasses, this may have been less of an issue?Anyway, I returned them to Amazon and a full refund was issued within around 30 minutes of them being dropped off at the parcel collection point. That's a definite 5 stars for Amazon

I bought these because with my eyesight I need to take "ordinary" sunglasses off 2-3 times in a run to check my intermediate times - that's not necessary with these as I can glance down at my watch through the magnifying bit.However.First when I'm wearing my hi-vis yellow top (always like to give drivers something to aim at when I'm crossing the road) the light from the top catches the magnifying part and goes into my eye so there's a thin yellow stripe in my eyeline. That doesn't stop me seeing clearly (I can still avoid the dog-turds owners helpfully leave on the path to help ensure joggers maintain their concentration) but it's a bit distracting.Second the glasses fit my face quite closely so the sweat causes the lenses to steam-up - it's especially troublesome when running towards the sun as the light gets diffused and I can't see anything in the glare. In any event I have to take them off 2-3 times on a run to wipe them, so they don't really solve my original problem.I still use them but generally just grab a pair of sunglasses at random - each pair has advantages and disadvantages.

After only a few days in use they broke at the hinge on one of the earpieces. The cord had gone under my collar and when I pulled it out the plastic hinge broke off.Not impressed.

Like the clear x2 magnifier lenses much easier to see what your 're doing. Not bad for driving and checking dashboard and satnav.

These glasses are great for fishing, sorting tangles, tying hooks etc..

the Bi focal part works great and definitely magnifies my flies. the polarized part of the lens is good to giving a good view into the water, only criticism would be if the polarized lens wasn't plastic but for the cost of them I expected that. As someone who keeps either losing or breaking them the do the job well!
