I've got a pair of Tadpoles......the lens is *very* easy to damage. I inadvertently left mine in my 'beach box' after the end of a session. By the time I got home, one side was totally ruined (scratched). I investigated the cost of a replacement lens, but it was very expensive compared to the cost of a whole new pair, so I never bothered.

To be perfectly honest, I wasn't that impressed with them anyway. After you cop a bit of spray in the face, you can't see anything anyway....they didn't appear to be coated with anything to help the water get away, so droplets formed and then dried relatively quickly, leaving you with a load of dried salt spots all over the place.

yeah the blue eyes are awesome but relatively expensive, especially given they scratch REALLY easily. I had them for riding my bike but tey got trashed after not too long even though I was taking really good care of them.

Go the cheap and nasty service station sunglasses and then throw them away (or recycle them) after a while - it works out much cheaper in the long run...

Wash your sunnies with Mr Sheen - keeps 'em water proof for about 1 long session.

I've got some cheapies and they work really well. Polarised is a must!

Thanks all 4 the feedback!
I think I'll stick with what I've got atm.

I always get the polarising lenses, the water looks better that way.

then drill a hole in each arm and attache a bit of elastick or shock cord.

i got a pair of these off ebay - cepth they had serious fogging issues untill i got stuck into them with a drill and a stanely knife and cut heaps better airflow into them - work pretty good now - they have others in their range too and they are cheap...my eyes are so much happier now after kiting with these
