Rainx on sunnies? I thought you could only use that product on glass, I have some Rainx but have been reluctant to try it on my sunnies.
Will it damage them? I know Rainx works, I used it all the time on the boat windscreen.
I was similarly concerned ref rainnex on sunnies, but have been using it for the last 3 months on my blueeye squids with no probs.
I need to reapply it after each session, and it's a bit fuzzy (my vision is fuzzy anyway, so just adds to the effect!), and not 100% effective at stoping salt crusting, but better than forking out $300 for top of the range glasses and I couldnt find any of the other glasses-specific stuff anywhere.
Worth trying.
I have a pair of sundog sunnies that are pretty good. They come with a stick of this antifog cleaner that works pretty well, as long as I clean them etc before a session. HAven't even come close to losing them either, as long as I tighten the strap underneeth the widest part of my head.
I had the pterygium surgery and it sucked. Protect your rocks!
Don't dick around with sunglasses (Oakley, seaspecs, etc). They are rigid and sink like steel. Not ideal for ripping.
Got the "Duke" Surf Goggles (KURTIS) and they saved my eyes. Killer lenses that flex on impact and look sick. No fogging cause they rinse easy and desinged by surfers that worked that **** out.
I just use polariod glare foils to cut the glare.
They dont float so to stop them getting lost I use a floating head band that pushes onto the arms of the sunnies. you can get them from Whitworths for about $13.
These work fine, I have only lost one pair since using them, the imact was huge.
check out spex goggles. designed for surfing and pretty much unbreakable. www.spexusa.com
Hey Em,
Great to hear from you sorry to hear about your eye. Mick has the same problem, it's growing over his left eye quite badly and over his right eye and the only way to fix it is to have it removed by surgery which takes about a week to heal and is painful. There is also an 80% chance it will grow back. He's had it for years as a result of being a big surfer and now kiter. I'm on at him to have them removed because it can grow over your pupil and eventually blind you....don't want to scare you but that's what we are possibly looking at for him.
Just keep a check on it, wear sunnies whenever you can. I do look like a fool going surfing in my kiting sunnies but it's better than nothing and they do stay on (but then again we all know I'm not a hardcore surfer!).
Big hugs darling, miss you heaps and hope life is great!!!

I have been using Seaspecs and they are great! They sit nice and firm on your head and I have never had them come off, and I am no expert rider. They also float, and the headband sits flat on your head, so I have been able to wear a Gath Gedi helmet with no problems. If losing your sunglasses while being smashed by a wave is an issue for you I assume you also wear a helmet?
I also face planted into the beach one day and they didn't come off my head. 3 for $100US, I don't think you can get better than that!
