These glasses are decent quality and look nice and only cost $12 and $7 so no big deal when I lose or break a pair.

I also keep a ziplock baggie on board with an assortment of men's and women's sunglasses for friends who forget to bring some.
spares are a great idea. there is always someone who forgets.

Polarized Oakley Crosshairs. Block wind great. I do have to look at screens at a different angle but I deal with it.

I have "outfitted" many fish in the Chesapeake Bay. They be stylin. I use dark mirrored and don't have a problem. Have amber for dusk or dawn. Get them from China by the case. Works out to be around $10 ea. Usually have 3-4 pr on board all the time. Use them all day driving. Scarab III has a very good windscreen, don't get too much wind.

The downside is that they are kinda big so they don't look as cool as normal sunglasses; however, they do sell them in mediums and they would look just fine if you don't need to go over glasses. I can't imagine trying to drive fast with wind in my eyes.

I just bought a pair of these tonight, haven’t worn them on the boat yet but the 15 minute drive home was amazing. Thanks for the recommendation.
