Jelle I just bough the cristo witht the Halide lens. I have used spotters for the past 5 years- Artics with the Glass Blue grey. They hallide lens is fantastic and can not recommend it highligh enough. I am on the road every day and they are brilliant in any condtions. Havent had a chance to try them out on the water yet though. Mates have the penatrators and they are great too. Haven't had the chance to compare them side by side yet but I would easyily by another pair!

hope this helps.

yep, bought a pair at campbells a few weeks back. Excellent sunnies. I use to buy more cheapie polaroids as I tend to go through a few pairs every 2 years... this time I wanted something good as my eyes need better protection... highly recommend them. I only use this pair for fishing/boating, so should get plenty of life out of them.

Sounds good. How are they when you walk out of the house into bright light? Says on the site they need about 2minutes to adapt. Aren't they to clear at first?

I actually ordered the cristo model yesterday, but got a call today that they're out of stock and if I wanted to order another pair or wait 2weeks.. Are they worth the wait?

Cheers guys, helpful fo sho

Have you tried any of the other frames? I know there are limted frames with Hallide lens. I really like the cristo they are comforatble and offer a good wrap arround,artics are also good.  In regards to taking abit of time to ajust it does a little but its nothing to worry about.
