when you trash your sunglass lens....

I am the Angel of Death to Sunglasses. 

just this Saturday, I rushed into the surf to help a guy that flipped.   I was on gathering duty.  find his rod, find his net.  success.

I was just about to leave, when I reached up to pull my sunglasses down.  what?  where did I leave them?  I search my truck.  nope.  I jog down the hill back to the cove..and look around.  fish cleaning station, where I parked..nope.  I walk to the water.  I see them!!  just the ear piece sticking out of the sand. the surf had been pounding them.  HAHA.  both left/right lens look like I used them to pan for gold. 


well, I have a solution.  REVANT.   they make replacement lenses for lots of them.  I was Leary my Electric sunglasses would be on their list.  they were!!  ordered.  Electric doesnt sell replacement lenses.  I asked.

oh well.  this is my third REVANT purchase.  they make a good product.  clear...I dont expect them to best the OEM Electric lens..but better than buying all new over again. 

just a thought for those of you peeking around a big scratch on that lens of yours.  there are options. 

Lost a pair of sunglasses in the harbor a few weeks ago. Had them on top of my head with a hat on. Went to adjust my hat and heard the sunglasses hit the side of the boat on their way into the water.

I am familiar with that sound

I have prescription glasses, and without them I'm about 20/600, so I used my old windsurfing system(and now use the same system when SUPing): glasses holder  with end loops that tighten over the earpieces, then a shoestring or cord tied to the holder, then a loop in the shoestring just big enough to slip over my head. Never lost glasses even if they washed off my nose a few times. Spare clear glasses carried in a "case" closed with a serious clip and tied to my PFD. And both sets of glasses were the previous year's Rx, and new Rx glasses kept in car for the drive home.  I was never able to wear contacts or I would have saved a lot of time messing with specs.

Haha, same. I've got at least three pairs of Oakleys, and a nice watch waiting for me at the bottom of Lake Shasta...

Ive done the same via fuze. 

This is awesome! Just bought regular polarized lenses to replace my prescription lenses (before Lasik). Now I have a nice 2nd set of sunglasses! Thanks! This forum is great!
