  1. +1 on the Albolene I thought that it was just a little thicker than Gink. Anyway, I like it because it doesn't usually melt 'til you rub it between your fingertips and so that when the fly lands on the water you don't get an oil slick
  2. My first post. Anyway, last month I bought two pair with a Rx and thought I'd share what I did FWIW From my understanding (CR 39 vs Polycarbonate) CR 39 (1) has better Optics (2) is harder & so more Scratch resistant (3) is often Cheaper 1960s technology (4) Polycarb is shatterproof but the CR 39 seems to be pretty good I chose Brown for Overcast days/ Dusk because of fair contrast and I like viewing a "normal" tint. My second pair is Grey for Bright days/ and Snow. Polarized of course. I use a cotton bandana w/ an atomizer filled w/ Isopropyl so I reason it might be a little harsh so I don't add IR or Scratch resistant coating. Plus there is the extra cost Went cheap with an online company called $39dollarglasses, and was ~140 each. If I had bought only one I would have chosen the Brown. I did have to call them to order the CR 39 lenses. I'm pretty happy with them. I must admit the Brown lenses don't have the Brightness & Contrast as a pair of Rx polycarbs I bought 4 years ago from Wallmart. The plastic frames are good, but basic and not curved. I like the regular hinges. Anyway that was my reasoning and may be one way to go. Something that works (good enough), is versatile and doesn't cost too much. It also allows me a back-up pair
