Huge. If this is the same proposal I'm thinking created a stink for the last few years, this is amazing news.

Yes this was the one. This is a huge win for the good guys, albeit a win by default.

10-12 with roe bags. 14 or smaller with beads.

I'd like to see that b/c years ago, CTV also did a review of the UV400 stickers you'd find on sunglasses and found that the cheapest glasses had better protection. I know the expensive lenses will have finely polished lenses and little to no abborations. However, the episode I saw wanted to point out that price is not guage for UV protection. I suppose I could take my current shades to my optomitrist and have her check it out.

Yes I know, we only have one pair of eyes so why go cheap...lol.

Here is a link to Health Canada on sunglasses, click Standards for UV Protection.

You're right, price is not an absolute factor in UV protection. Some 20 dollar glasses will almost certainly provide adequate protection. But determining which ones are safe and which ones aren't isn't immediately apparent in most cheap glasses. Paying for 'the name' is good in this case. because Ray-Ban don't wanna get sued for selling bad goods. They got too much on the line.

It's not a topic near and dear to my heart or anything like that, it's just my rationale with things like this. I also wouldn't by a cheap life jacket, climbing ropes made offshore, or a DVD from the Pacific Mall. Cause when I want my stuff to work, it better work.

Hey CA

I've read somewhere that a polarizing filter is the same thing weather you buy $15 Rapala's at Walmart or $150 Ray Bans. What you're actually paying for is the frame and maybe some extra coating on the lens and of course the name. Since I'm a frugler, I'd rather buy 10 Rapala's over 1 Ray Ban. I know the Ray Ban is much better quality and all but I can afford to lose $15 from a fall or scratched lens from a stray hook, then lose $150. I currently use a pairof no-name brand from LeBaron's that I bought 20 years ago.

The biggest problem with polarized glasses I find, is that they are either too light or too dark. Too bad they don't make them with a extra dark, clip on, size matched lens for really sunny days.

I like the wrap around to protect my eyes from all angles.

Try a bunch on, LeBaron has a sunglass turnstile stand.

Once you get a quality pair of glasses you'll be sold. I was once an advocate of 'buy many cheap ones' for the price of one good one. The lens, polarize coating, and structure of the glasses are of simply much better with high-end glasses. They are generally less prone to scratching, almost always guaranteed for life, and most importantly provide better (honest) protection for your eyes.

CTV did an episode where they tested the UV protection of cheap-ass glasses and found they all failed to meet spec. You see those racoon-eyes people get, imagine that sunburn on your eyes. I doubt you'd buy some chinese off-brand sunblock, same precaution should be given to your eyes bro.

it is possible that part of the story is missing but if you read John's (CRAA) post on the other board it is confirmation that CO's are fining people, as for stinger hooks, if using a bead is illegal then ya a stinger would be illegal also......just because things are sold it doesn't mean that they are legal to use....think of all the drug paraphernalia that's sold in the variety stores

Allegedly. John acknowledged it was second hand info. I'd love to see the ticket. Something don't smell right here.
