I had been looking around for new sunglasses, I wanted something I could wear everyday but also use for fishing. After trying on most every pair offered under the sun and finding nothing that would fit my unusually large melon, I tried on my brother-in-law's Blackfins. That was a mistake, because they fit. And the optical clarity they provided was awesome! After trying them on, I knew I needed to have a pair for myself. So I did my research on the lenses options available and settled on the 580P in Amber. The frame color wasn't even a choice as I had decided long ago my next glasses would be tortoise shell. So this is what my glasses look like.
I have tried these glasses out running the trotline for crabs in a tributary to the Chesapeake Bay and I was able to see deep down in the river as the trotline was being retrieved. I have used these glasses fishing for trout on a limestone stream and I have been able to see trout lurking all over the place. I have used these glasses driving around town and I'm disappointed when I go inside because I take my glasses off and I'm stuck with what my eyes really see. No matter the application, these glasses make everything clearer. I have no trouble cutting glare when I'm in my truck, when I'm on the boat, when I'm wading a stream. These glasses are the shiznit!
Also, the frame has some sort of rubberization where it comes in contact with your face that gets tacky when you sweat. This means glasses that don't slip around all over your face.
I haven't been surf fishing yet (that's coming soon), so I want to see how these glasses respond under the different conditions I can throw at them there.
