Grizzly Fishing Sunglasses Review (BEWARE)

http://grizzly%20fishing%20sunglasses%20review

If you’ve followed us here at Salt Strong for anytime, then you probably know that we always do our best to keep our product reviews fair and balanced.

Meaning, we always tell you the pros AND the cons.

We also try to keep our reviews as positive as we can (because it doesn’t help the industry in general to slam products)…

But we also have a duty to tell you the truth when a product just isn’t a good deal (like the Twitching lure review we did here).

And these Grizzly polarized fishing sunglasses were another one of those situations where we felt that we had to warn you before you bought them.

I have been seeing their ads on Facebook and Instagram and they claimed their glasses were marked down from $149 to $29 (so I decided to give it a shot and see how they are).

Are they good fishing sunglasses?

I’ll let you see for yourself in the video.

Don’t hesitate to reach out or leave a comment if you have any questions or thoughts on this sunglasses.

Note: Another one of our Insider members (Jonathan Stefan) purchased a pair and had the exact same experience (so it wasn’t a shipping mistake).

Ok,

So I caved in and bought a pair of Grizzly’s after seeing them all over Facebook and getting pummeled with ads. I resisted but suddenly I had a need to replace my current sunglasses. Figured I would give these a shot…. here are my findings and being 100% honest about this review. Please note, these are for the ones with the replaceable lenses that I’ve been seeing for the last year or so on my Facebook feed.

Pros:

  • They fit comfortably on my face. No issues with the fit at all
  • The frame feels pretty durable.
  • They offer replacements for every piece of the glasses which is nice but might also speak to its quality
  • You can buy replacement lenses
  • They honor their 1 year manufacturers warranty

Cons:

  • Check all lenses after you get them and make sure they fit in the frames. One of my lenses did not fit in the frames. I did contact warranty support, and they said they’d send me out a replacement set of the lens that didn’t fit.
  • While they’re comfortable on my face, they didn’t seem to seal out all of the sunlight.
  • The nose piece, for me, left a very large gap that I could see right through. I don’t like that. My old pair of glasses doesn’t do that. I could see through it when I would glance left or right.
  • The lenses are not horrible. They’re just not as good as what are on my now, preferred brand of sun glasses.
  • While I could see through the water just as good as any other pair of lower end polarized lenses, I could not see as far as a more expensive pair.
  • The biggest con for these glasses (pun intended), is the “60 day money back guarantee”. If you want to exercise that, they make you send the glasses back in mint condition, with ALL PACKAGING, which includes the little stickers on the lenses that state they’re polarized, and the little pieces of plastic that the lenses come in.On top of it, you need to pay for the shipping back to them, which from the US, is international shipping. Its almost not worth it to return them if you paid a discounted price for them.

For me, these glasses just don’t cut it at all. While yes, the come with 4 different lenses, I was only going to use 2 lenses they come with as the other 2 don’t do anything extra for me. Why did I buy these? Because I thought the idea of having 1 pair of glasses and just swapping the lenses was a good idea at the time. Plus, with all the marketing, I bit down on them like a hungry bass in the middle of the spawn.

The real kicker for me was the 60 day money back guarantee. They want them in mint condition with all the packaging. I didn’t think to hold on to the packaging as I really thought they were a quality pair of glasses. I have most of it, just not all of it…. and they do want ALL of it. Also, I guess its possible to send them back in mint condition after testing them out. But to get a true test, you have to take them out fishing where anything could happen that could put a blemish on your glasses.

So are they better than a 300$ pair of Costa’s? No
Are they better than a Walmart pair of polarized glasses? According to my youngest who’s my fishing buddy…. No, they’re about the same.
Would they work for you? They might. Just get them when they’re on sale so you don’t end up paying 129$ for them. I paid 80$ for mine and at this point I’m just going to eat the cost and chalk this up to a life lesson.

They’re mediocre glasses, covered by a 1 year manufacturers warranty, with a money back guarantee that isn’t really a guarantee at all. From now on, I’ll stick with my Native Eyewears.

Ordered Grizzly clip on glasses two weeks ago. Was charged but no shipping info. They have not responded to emails. Phone number just rings. Afraid I just got ripped off.

I don’t think Grizzly got anything from this. I know a number of people that ordered stuff off FB posts and all got screwed. They are NOT affiliated with Grizzly or any of the other names you see on FB. I’ve seen crablegs sold by Costco that weren’t Costco. I’ve seen tents from reputable co’s that were sold but not correct. y EVERY ONE of the products on FB are Chinese scam/bullshit !!

I know this was 4 years ago … but I just got a targeted ad from Grizzly this morning. Yep – same glasses, still available as Outsun on Amazon for less than 1/2 the cost.

But one of the things in their ad was that they have people saying they are “better than their Costas”.

Really?
So… do you have any review of how well they work, compared to Costas, at actually seeing fish in the water?
