Which do you prefer for fishing and the beach? 580G....580P...or 400G?

Any particular color? I finally found the frames that fit me.

haleyville al,
580g with green lens. I have the blue but want a pair with green. The glass lens is heavier but I prefer glass over plastic.

The green mirror lenses are amber/copper base with the mirror finish over.

I recommend the 580g lenses for sure. The color will depend on your needs and usage. I currently have the 580g - green mirror and like them a lot for every day use. I've also had the 400g - blue mirror and liked them as well, though they were darker since they're gray based.

I see amber lenses and I see green mirror. I don't know what you mean by amber with green mirror.


Amber is the tint of the lens. It gives a lot of contrast to colors and makes it much easier to see detail, especially in sunny conditions. Of course the polarized lenses allow you to see beneath the surface, breaking up the light reflection on the surface. Green mirror is just the finish on the outside of the lenses. I've found this combination superior to any other in various conditions fishing bays and along the beaches just offshore.
The glass 580 lenses are a lil heavy but they are so much better than the 'plastic' that you won't care. I have this combination in a prescribed lens and I can't live without them. They are my eyes pretty much.

As stated above Amber is the base color and green is the mirrored color when you look at them

Which ones make colors pop? Does that mean something has a lot of contrast? I wear amber sun glasses now that make green greener, if that makes sense. I like the enhanced colors while providing sun protection.

See if this helps you any. I would also recomend trying on the different lenses outside of a store to see what you prefer for your intended use.

I've had the blue, green, amber, silver, and grey and the silver have been my favorite by far for everyday wear.
