There's not really a "catch all" lens but there's one that comes close- For context I currently have entirely too many pairs of sunglasses in my current collection and have sold/broken/lost countless others. Best offshore lens is going to be the Bajio blue mirror glass- it's a hair darker than the costas but has a slight brown hue instead of the neutral gray which improves contrast. Problem for me with these is that they are overkill when it's overcast outside. If you want a do it all lens- the Smith polarchromic in green mirror is the way to go. These lenses will adjust the light transmission between 11 and 23%, which means you can leave the dock wearing them at 6:00 am and they are just at home in full sun at noon- these are also a great everyday/driving pair of sunglasses for the same reason- the tint will adjust to conditions so you aren't having to continuously take them off and put them back on Those are my picks, and I've currently got or had the following Costa gold mirror, blue mirror, gray, copper mirror, green mirror Maui Jim Green Mirror, gray, HLT Bajio Blue Mirror, Violet mirror Smith Gold mirror, green mirror, brown The Bajio blue mirror is the best offshore lens I've ever worn, but I typically reach for the smith, because I can just throw my glasses on my face in the morning and forget about them
Just picked up a pair of Smith Optics in the Hookset frame with green mirror Polarchromic lenses. I’ve owned Maui Jim’s, Costa’s, and several others. Hands down best sunglasses I’ve ever slipped on my face.

Bajio is the answer here. Dedicated fishing glasses and get each color for each water they recommend.
You’re welcome

Why do they use the gayest looking models they can find in their ads?

Not sure what that is about as I don’t ever look at ads. I try each pair I like and buy them.
Now that you said that I will be looking. Lol

Honestly I have had them all. I wear sunglasses all the time as my eyes are sensitive to bright sunlight. I have readers in all mine now.
If you are going with plastic lenses just buy the cheapest polarized lenses on Amazon or something. I am convinced all the damn plastic lenses are made in china anyway and I am tired of losing 2-300 hundred dollar sunglasses.

Are they glass or plastic? I’ve read glass lenses can be problematic to install?
