Broke my suglasses and am thinking of trying the H30 brand I like the idea of having 3 different len's colors

however

they are around $110 which isnt bad
cheap sunglasses- infisherman,Berkley, etc are around the $25 mark

but with 3 different sets of lenses with the H30's are you getting a 'quality" pair of sunglasses or just 3 'cheap' pair of sunglasses equalling $110

for those of you who have/had them your input is very welcome

H30's are nice, I like the 3 lenses. But, there U have a couple of issues with the ones I have. The lenses like to pop out when i pull the temples apart. Haven't lost a lense yet, but it worries me. The Rubber temple guards are constantly slipping off.

I absolutely love them. I wore mine all summer out in Utah doing stream fish surveys and they really helped me see the fish coming up. The ability to change lenses is great also. I havent had any of the problems Magruter mentioned. Also if you do some searches you can find them cheaper that $110. I think I only payed about $90 for mine. I would highly recommend getting them, you wouldnt be disapointed.

I gotta agree with Magruter on the lenses popping out. I've had it happen when I caught a fish and the lense fell into to the water. I was able to grab the lense before anything bad happened, but they do fall out if you are a little rough with them. The 3 different lenses are nice. The normal darker lense is the same as the $10 Linder pairs at Gander if you ask me, but the yellow lenses for cloudy conditions definitely make a difference. Haven't really tried the amber set yet. Overall not a bad pair. Personally, I only use them for fishing, and that is it.

ive used the h30s with the rx inserts for 3 seasons now and have never had an issue with them. the lenses fit as tight as the day i bought them.

with my first pair of H3Os i had trouble with the lenses popping out.
then i figured out that i'd bought the wrong size frames, as my big melon was spreading the temples and opening up the frame sides that held the frame in. the same issue was allowing my nose pads to slide off.

i sold that pair and bought a properly sized frame and have had no issues with that ever since.

be sure to get the pair that fits your head properly:
Tsunami: med/large
Storm: med/large
Surge: med/small

i really like mine and with the additional purchase of Rose (for driving) and Clear (night) lenses, i've got 5 great options in one pair of glasses.

Hey lambeau.....just out of curiosity, what is the purpose of the clear night lenses?

My guess is to keep hooks, bugs, etc. out of your eyes...

I love mine as well. I wear the clear at night as a safety precaution. Guy with the hook in his eye made me a believer. BG
