Hey!
. . . Just got back from an indo trip with the shades I ordered not too long ago. Totally sold! Never wearing contacts in the water ever again. Now I'm just putting in an order for some clear ones for the the stormy and cloudy days.
Thanks for the great service! Nicholas

I have had 3 or 4 pairs of your glasses. Used them windsurfing, kiteboarding and kayaking, now paddle boarding. My wife wants a pair to use at the beach jumping waves. I used mine at the ocean last week and have just started paddle boarding. Many thanks for a great product. J Frank

I am 60 years old and I have been surfing for 50 of those years . I have been wearing contacts to be able to see while in the water since I was 15 . Contact lens have never , ever felt comfortable to me , even the most up-to-date soft-lens .
Your glasses have been a MIRACLE to me !
No more struggling to put on contacts in the early morning hours and usually losing one of them half of the time from the surf .
THANK YOU SILVERFISH ! Kevin

Hello, I've worn these glasses for 10+ years and have found them outstanding in every way. I wear them in the ocean all summer and very frequently during the rest of the year for daily exercise. . .

Hi again!
I just got back from my trip, and I wanted to let you know how well the Surf Rats worked. I used them for many days not only on the water (surfing, and on a high-speed boat ride), as well as on the beach. They were super comfortable, very functional, and stayed on my face the entire time. I love them so much that I now use them as my everyday sunglasses.
Our host was curious about my sunglasses, so I showed him all its features. He took a photo of the box (with your logo and address), so I hope I'm able to send some business your way.
Thanks again for not only a fantastic product, but spectacular customer service as well. You now have a customer for life. :)
Best, Liz

G'day Silversish,
I'm a repeat customer, but wanted to utilise your option to have multi-focal lenses for my windsurfing.
I compared your product with [xxxx], and although impressed with what I saw, Siverfish’s cost was more comptetive.
. . . both my wife and have been happy with or Silverfish glasses to date, so have decided to stick with a winner… Silverfish.
Looking forward to windsurfing with my new glasses. Mark

April 17, 2021 - (Road Trip, Surf Rat/ Surfing, Tactical Training/ Rx/ Playa Del Rey, CA)
My first pair has been great for surfing. I am also in the Navy Reserve and thought a pair would be great for tactical training exercises given how well they stay on my head surfing- that is what this pair is for- two weeks in the bush.
Thank you! Diego

I bought Whistler in 2006, Road Trip 2010, and the current pair in 2016
As far as I am concerned, a satisfied customer is your best ad. If you need a 67 year old model, let me know!
Used them in Aruba a year ago; my wife wants a pair now....

January 5, 2021 - (Whistler 2/ Surfing/ Rx/ San Jose, CA)
Hi,
Quick follow up - thanks for the glasses and for being concerned about possible distortion due to the correction needed for my astigmatism.
I don’t think there is any distortion in the glasses
..and, since I was surfing without glasses and could barely see the waves, any distortion in the lenses would still have been a major improvement.
The glasses work great, and they stay on incredibly well.
Thank you! - Ron

sunglasses Review
I bought a pair of prescription surf rat sunglasses 3 years ago, use them 4-6 days a week and they are still in great condition despite constantly being slapped in the face by waves and even the time I got hit in the head with my board! I have a hard time wearing contacts on land, so I can't even imagine wearing them in the water, so these glasses have literally been a lifesaver! Also, I just have to say the customer service has been top-notch. When I thought I lost my strap they were immediately responsive with their customer service and happy to get one out asap even during the beginning of all the Covid madness. It's also great to know that my eyes are protected from the UV light, random debris in the water, and jellyfish, and I don't have to experience the discomfort the other surfers have in super bright conditions. The only downside is my raccoon suntan haha. These glasses are worth every penny and more! A couple of weeks ago I thought my car was stolen (it got towed) and I was more upset that I wouldn't be able to surf until I got another pair (my glasses were in the car) than the actual car being gone if that says anything about how much I love them. Customer for life! -Andrea C

I've struggled with prescription goggles before -- fogging, coming off -- and your glasses have proven awesome. They stay on in tough waves and under water. The clarity seems even better than my normal glasses. Mike L.

Hello and thanks again! I wanted you to see just how much your product has improved my grom's life! He can now see signals from shore, can read the waves instead of surfing "by feel", and can communicate with others on the waves. Darcy's] life has been changed by your product. We can't wait until next time we go into our Opthalmologist's office (you may recall, she did not recommend glasses for the waves, only contact lenses which Darcy can not wear) to sing your praises. Every single time Darcy is on the waves (twice a day during Covid here in Sunny SoCal), people ask him about his cool shades. When he remembers the name of your product he tells them about them happily so I'm hoping he's brought in new business. We are totally thrilled and grateful and will be lifelong customers/patients. Initially Darcy thought he could only use your glasses in small wave conditions where he doesn't even really get his hair wet but we've had bigger than usual summer swell this year and he has used in 5-6ft conditions (not pictured, sorry) and they stay on perfectly. Bravo!
Thank you!
Amy and Darcy

June 9, 2020 - (Whistler 2, Road Trip, S Rat II, Standard/ Surfing / Rx/ North Beach, NJ)
. . . I'll mention that this is my third pair in 10 years and that I am a very, very satisfied customer. I've put your glasses to serious test in the surf daily, for years, and never once lost them or injured myself wearing them. I replace them simply because of normal wear and tear on the lenses. I have nothing but good things to say about my experiences with Silverfish.
I recommend them to everybody.
Cheers, Jim V.

. . . I am . . . a proud owner of your Rat 2 surfing sunnies! They are seriuosly AWESOME! I have been surfing with my pair for 3 ot 4 years now, been through some very knarly wipouts, and my sunnies are still going strong (touchwood). On top of that I am at the extreme range for presecriptions, and I am still blown away that I can surf, with sunnies, with no visual distortion. Its a great product and one I am very passionate about indeed . . .
Again, I LOVE my surfing sunnies. To have the freedom to see in the surf without distortion is worth way more than you charge!
Best regards Richard S.

Just wanted to tell you that I tried out my new Silverfish glasses today at Del Mar.
They are great!
One big wipe-out (yes, just 1) and the neck tether saved the glasses which got washed off.
Anyway, am very pleased. Thanks for all your help. RR

I bought a pair of your sunglasses at a surf shop on Maui in 2005. Loved 'em, they served me well. . . I looked but didn't find a replacement in surf shops in Santa Barbara and San Diego. . .
Great product - should be more widely available. I hope cheap online knock-offs aren't hurting sales.

Hi there,
I finally had a chance to try these out when surfing this week and I am super impressed with the product! Very comfortable fit and makes all the difference in the world for us semi-blind people. I'll be recommending this product for anyone doing any kind of non-contact extreme sport (surfing, skiing/snowboarding, skateboarding etc.) and even non-contact normal sports (tennis, badminton, athletics etc.).
Thank you for creating this product, it's amazing!

Hi Guys
Finally time to retire my trusty 5 (I think) year old Whistlers. They've been surfing, cycling, mountain biking both sides of the world, survived stacks, wipeouts and the odd face plant and probably driven about 200,000 km in their time. Getting eyes tested Monday so will have prescription. Will get another pair of these - in black - plus either S Rat or Road Trip. TBH I'll be wearing them more when not doing the above I would guess . . .
And superb product by the way!
Cheers, Adam

G'day from Oz,
I searched for prescription surfing sunglasses on the web a year or two ago, and found Silverfish. I ordered a pair of your Road Trip glasses, and loved them. So I've gone straight back to you with my wife's details so that we can go out on the water together here in Western Australia.
All the best, Mark D
October 6, 2017 - (Road Trip/ Surf, Mountain Biking/ Rx/ FL)
I received my Silverfish shades in the mail just after noon EDT today. Great service, in that I believe I placed the order only a week ago today. Even though they aren't wrap arounds, they look very cool and protect my eyes along the sides. The prescription was spot on in that I can see very well with them. I just gave them a test run on my mountain bike. I also like that you can attach them with a leash, which serves as not only added safety measure for not loosing them but allows me to hang them around my neck when I need to read something or eat.
In any event, I can't wait to see what it's like to be able to see clearly in the surf zone. My wife and I also are headed for a couple of weeks in the Caribbean over the Christmas/New Years Holidays so that should give them a test while sailing and whatever other activities we get involved in.
In any event, once I get back into doing more freelancing, I definitely will give Silverfish some well-deserved kudos.
Thanks much, Mike W

Make surfing fun again!
Thank you Silverfish Surf Sunglasses I can finally see what I'm doing out there. It's such a difference. I guess for the first time I was the one in the lineup who did catch the most waves. O.k. that might say more about the others...but it was so fun to be able to see.
They fit perfect. Got barreled but glasses where fine. Daniel N

Dear silverfish,
You would have to check your records to see when I originally ordered everything [2012], but I am amazed how long the glasses band and tether lasted. When I ordered everything I was surfing 1 to 3 days a week. I retired from full time work in November of 2013 and since then I am in the surf 5 to 6 days a week except after storms and then I am riding on the bike path. Even riding my bike I use my silverfish over my normal sunglasses. I also use them in the pool. They get a lot of use. I know one of these days I will return for a prescription update and or a new pair but I will cross that bridge when I get to it. Obviously I am very stoked with my silverfish.
Best Regards, John

Mark
I am writing to say thank you.
Received my Road Trip sunnies only 2 weeks after ordering. Fantastic service. I just wish I had ordered a pair from you 10 years ago. The clarity and lack of distortion is phenomenal. Comfort is first class and they don't even feel like they will fall off in a wipeout. I will definitely be singing your praises to other older optically challenged surfers. Once again thank you.
Yours in surfing, David

Dear Silverfish Folks,
The Silverfish sunglasses are simply great! The progressive lens are spot on and worth the extra cost for me. Whoever cut the lens did a fantastic job. Please give them my thanks.
I now surf and sail with more confidence, allowing me to go for it when in the past I might have taken a safer route due to sight problems or fear of losing glasses. I am 63 yo and in my third year of remission from advanced lymphoma. Chemo and a bone marrow transplant really did a job on my eyes. Poor water vision solutions and some insecurity reduced my confidence and enthusiasm in the water. No more.
My first day using them was a near perfect Carolina beach break day; perfect tide for 2-3 hours, glassy, offshore wind, waist to shoulder high south swell hitting the beach at a good angle making lots of open right peaks. I decided to go the long board surf SUP route and had some of the best waves and wipeouts I've had in ages. I even had a few of the short boarders hooting! The glasses were key on so many different levels. I enjoyed quite a high for the rest of the weekend.
Thanks! I will recommend Silverfish glasses whenever I can. Bob R

Excellent! You guys are great! I love the product, life changing for me. I surfed for 20 plus years without glasses and people thought I was anti-social because I didn't say hi etc. I could not see them well enough to know who was who in the line up. Got your glasses almost 10 years ago and it changed the way I see waves and people in the water. Scott J

Hi Silverfish team,
I am a big fan of your prescription sunglasses and have been using them for 3+ years without a problem, or ever losing one it via dropping into the water from my head. Great products indeed.
Unfortunately it is not theft-proof J and my last one was stolen yesterday, so I need to reorder... Andras

Hi guys,
I bought some roadtrip glasses about a month ago, These are really amazing! Greatly clarity and they don't move at all in the surf. I'm using these a lot as regular sunglasses also, can wear them all day and they are very comfortable with or without the strap (actually just ordered an extra pair with transitions this time!) . . .
Cheers, Paul S

Will be returning my glasses sometime early next year as I have a change in my prescription.
Your product is the best. They wear like iron. If I did not have a prescription change I would not have the need to return them.
I surf just about everyday and have had absolutely no problems with the glasses and accessories since the day I purchased them.

I am a big guy and love big waves. I had goggles before; they worked but ugly an ill fitting. S-Rat 2 in a strong RX and they fit great and in surf they work great. I bodyboard and getting slapped in the face is normal. They never came off.
Love the glasses for driving.

I contacted Silverfish, I had a couple questions about ordering their prescription sunglasses. Mark replied back within a couple hours I placed my order on Thursday, I received a shipment notice email on Monday I thought to myself this can't be correct as I ordered prescription sunglasses I thought maybe they sent me regular sunglasses. On Wednesday I received my prescription sunglasses I'm really blown away how quickly I got them Mark, thanks for providing great, fast customer service and communication. Rat II sunglasses look and fit great, love the included straps (great for peace of mind) Can't wait to try them in the surf
Thanks Murph

I found your company last month via Google while searching for surf sunglasses. I purchased one pair last month for me and loved them, great quality and a great price (thanks for not ripping off the surfing community). My wife borrowed them and loved them. My buddy borrowed them and loved them. So now I am buying some more because I never get to use the pair I already own! Really cool to have that buy 2 get 1 free deal going! Website very easy to use, especially on the re-order because it remembered my information. Michael C

. . . I have been surfing for almost 50 years. As you can imagine, my vision has slightly worse and I was looking for a solution for this issue of clear vision and surfing. About 3 years ago I found your website on Surfline. I then purchased a pair of your prescription glasses. I have experienced much satisfaction with the Whistler II model and my most recent purchase, the S Rat II - both offered in bronze tint.
I also took them to my Optometrist during an eye exam. She thought it was a great idea to protect my eyes from the sun's harmful rays which can lead to many eye issues. I have taken these glasses on several surf adventures including my most recent trip to Eleuthera, Bahamas on February 6, 2016. I enjoyed the magnificent swell which reached in excess of 15 feet. The glasses' strap and leash performed perfectly and never slipped throughout the entire trip even in these extreme conditions. My wife was with me on the trip and got some great shots. Attached here are a few pictures she took in hopes that you can share these with other fellow surfers that need to be aware of your product and its advantages as well as its performance and reliability. . .

Thanks to the Silverfish team for a job well done. My -17.50/-14.50 prescription was well made and the glasses stayed on my head beautifully as I got dunked again and again while learning to surf. Your glasses have opened up a whole new world of water adventures for myopic me!

Hello,
My name is Michael and I'm a huge fan of your sun glasses - I've been a loyal customer since 2008 . Over the years I have purchased 6 pairs of Whistler glasses and I that speaks better than anything else I can say about how much I like your product. I like the fit of the frame and also the superior clarity of your lenses - way better than anything else I've seen, even in glasses that cost 2-3x more. . .

Dear Silverfish,
I received my prescription sunglasses today and they are wonderful!!! I was told-and it's indicated on the website-that it would take a week to process my order, but when I requested to have my order expedited at least before Saturday, you guys delivered! Wayyy in advance!! I'm thrilled with my purchase (it's everything I wanted it to be) and I can't say enough about the excellent job with service! Thanks again to everybody there!
Very happy customer, Mary M. C.

I LOVE my Whistler glasses! They have opened up an entire new world for me because I can now see the waves. Great design and functionality! They almost never come off and never get lost because of the leash. They look great, too! Dan
September 20, 2015 - (Whistler, S Rat, Kiteboarding, Rx, CO)
I'm a return customer. I originally found you by Google when I needed some prescription water sunglasses prior to refractive eye surgery a few years ago. I ordered several pairs from you and I've been very happy with them. After my eye surgery, I had my eye doctor put in the non-prescription lenses that you included with the glasses. I've told quite a few friends and acquaintances about your products. I used Google again to find you this time around, although I could have looked through my files for your information. I use your sunglasses for kiteboarding. Stephen S.

June 9, 2015 - (S Rat II, Surfing, Rx, Costa Rica)
I came across this old email and I wanted to reach out to you and Silverfish. I purchased your product prior to heading to a surf trip in Costa Rica. Initially I had some doubts about the quality of your product and whether it would stay on my head during some massive wipe outs (which I do often). The second that I've placed your glasses on my head I knew they were of high quality. I was more impressed that the glasses never once came off of my head. That is a lot to say with the waves I was dealing with in CR. I would recommend your product to anyone. Please feel free to use this review at anytime. Thank you again for making such great product.

I have purchased several prescription surf glasses from you and always wear them when I surf.

I wanted to send you a note to say how much I love my Silverfish glasses. I don't usually write thank you notes to companies, but I'm making an exception this time. I've been using my glasses (S Rat II with prescription) for about three weeks now in Costa Rica. They've completely changed the experience of surfing and far exceeded my expectations for what glasses could do. Thank you so much for designing and producing these miraculous lenses. I will do my best to spread the word. Eric

Just a quick note to pass along that I purchased a prescription set of Silverfish sunglasses at the beginning of last season (S Rat 2 model) and I have been EXTREMELY impressed with the product. A bit pricey, but man do they make being on the water nice!!! I've lost several a contact len's overtime....but no longer. I've take quite a few face plants with the glasses on and they have never dislodged or fallen off. I think this model is pretty stylish so even wear them to outdoor events. For me (near sighted) they've been outstanding!
Do yourself a HUGE favor and look into them if you've been shedding your eyeglasses/contacts before hitting the water. I purchased the gray polarized for a modest bump up to my prescription and I'm gonna purchase a "transitions" pair before the spring for cloudy days.

Hi [Silverfish].
I bought some Rat11 surf glasses in nov. They're prescription, tinted and mirrored. I want to say these things are awesome! I surfed 3 months in Costa Rica, got caught inside with a few 10 ft waves, shades never moved. They work really really well. I can finally see and my surfing has improved considerably. . .
Thanks. . LB

Feedback. Tried out the Roadtrips over the weekend -- surfing and SUP -- 4ft Florida east coast nuggets in 66 degree water, 82 degree ambient temp. Very nice: hugged the face perfectly, quick clearing, no fogging, seamless experience, enhanced the session tremendously. Thanks. Bill
April 4, 2014 - (Whistler, Whistler II, Surfing, SUP, Rx, PA)
I have another pair that I have been using for surfing for over 5 years and my prescription was updated. I love the product. I can see the waves coming and know who I am sitting next to (they were a blur before). I have people ask me about they all the time in the water, sure i have sold some for you over the years.
I am leaving town for a paddle boarding race on the 18th, it would be great if I could get them before that!
Thanks again for a great product! Scott J

Hi,
I recently ordered Silverfish prescription sunglasses and they worked great on a surf trip to Costa Rica. It was with a surf camp called Surf Simply and everyone there was really impressed with my glasses (several camp-mates will probably buy some for their own use in the near future). The owner of Surf Simply, Ru, was also interested in knowing more about your product and possibly recommending them to his future clients -- so I will send him an email with cc: to you, so you can get in touch. Hope that will be helpful!
I really loved your products.
Thanks so much! Alan
January 13, 2014 - (S Rat, Kayaking, Road and Mountain Biking, Rx, North Carolina)
I researched these before originally buying them. They work exceptionally well for steep class 5 kayaking here in the NC mountains where we paddle 12 months a year. You should market them to that niche consumer sector. 2 cents.
I also use them as my primary specs for road and mountain biking (every single day). . .
Great glasses for outdoor sports. Mike

Hi Silverfish folks,
Your glasses came yesterday. They are the best designed and best made I've ever seen, and I've been looking for several years for something like this to replace my very old and now out of focus Rx sunglasses.
Thanks,

Hi [Silverfish],
I just ordered and paid for a new pair. . .
Let me take a moment to thank you so much for the product.
It was so sad for me as the years went by and my vision got worse when I surfed. I lost numerous pairs of regular glasses at a time when I could not afford to, just to be able to surf and enjoy seeing at the same time.
I love Silverfish so much. Surfing is pretty much my favorite thing in the world, and being able to see clearly makes all the difference in the world.
Thank you guys so much for making this possible for me.
much love, dk

October 20, 2013 - (S Rat, surf kayaking/ sea kayaking, Rx, Israel)
I've bought these from you before and love them.
Many thanks. They are the best. I live in Israel. I use them surf kayaking and sea kayaking. They really stay on, and they don't fog. I have a big problem with fogging ([competitor1], [competitor2], even skiing). Guess I run hot. I put prescription lenses in them.
Great product.
Thanks. Josh T
October 5, 2013 - (Standard, Sailing, Oregon)
THANK YOU SO MUCH to [Silverfish] for expediting my son's sunglass shipment. I really APPRECIATE the extra effort in getting the order off so that I didn't have to pay the extra cost of shipping.
As I told [Silverfish], I purchased a pair of Silverfish sunglasses for my 13 year old son who races sailboats. He has had several pair of various sunglasses and doesn't use them much on the water because he can't see very well and the level of racing that he is doing requires him to be able to spot wind shifts and not have his line of sight blocked at all. Silverfish are the only glasses that he came off the water and announced, "these are awesome". Unfortunately he lost them at an event, and we are heading to West Coast Champs in a couple days. Since we can't find them at a retail outlet, I knew I had to order them. Mark was very kind in getting the order off at the end of the day on Friday. I just wanted to let you know.
. . . You really should consider selling your products to the sailing community and retailers like West Coast Sailing in Portland. They really need a good sunglass product to sell to kids that are good quality at a fair price. We will continue to recommend your glasses and purchase them in the future.
Sincerely, "Opti sailing Mom", Shelley

Have had my Silverfish for a year now, maybe a little longer. They were bullet proof when I got them and they are still bullet proof. They never come off, they never smash into my face and they have so improved my surfing. I SEE what is happening all around me, instead of reacting to what the crowd is doing, I react to what the ocean is doing. At 58 almost 59 years of age most everyone will out paddle me but now that I can SEE, that is my edge. While the younger kids are talking story I'm paddling into position for the next wave. Yaooooow!!!!
Thanx, John

Hi there,
I just placed an order for the S-Rat II
You made some for me about three and a half years ago, and I love them. I know I have a high prescription, but last time you said you'd try and see what happened. I hope you can try again. I LOVE them. They're still going strong--I just have an updated prescription.
Please let me know if there are any problems.
Thanks! Katie E

We have been ordering from you guys for many years.
I think originally we saw you guys in a magazine or something.
Great product! Takes lots of abuse, never falls apart, and even when you hit the water so hard it gets ripped off your face, it ends up around your neck. Sidney Y

I have been wearing your Whistler sunglasses ever since you first started selling them quite a few years ago. I probably saw them in a Surfer Mag. ad. or on Surfline. They work great for surfing in cold water or warm water. Rodger M

I'm almost blind as a bat ya know, and these are great glasses for kayaking and cliff jumping here in Missouri. It's nice to be able to see 50 feet down from a cliff and actually see the water I'm jumping in to. . .lol Thanks so much! Jesse L

Hi [Silverfish],
The glasses have arrived and are fabulous! I can't wait to go for a surf! They look good and feel great on, the optical quality is excellent! I am impressed with all aspects and oddly but especially the carry case as it is robust and looks like it will be durable for camping and on road trips. Thanks very much, as you can see I am stoked!

Dear Mark and the crew at Silverfish,
Your product is simply awesome!!!! I am so stoked by these glasses, they are amazing!!!! Right after receiving them I wore them in the pool, swimming laps complete with breathing on every stroke and flip turns at each end of the pool. The glasses never moved, nor did they ever press into the bridge of my nose or cheekbones. First time surfing with them (small day ankle to lower butt cheek) was amazing, I could see perfectly which enhanced the whole surfing / beach experience. This past weekend with the south swell running and the jetty's in Newport going off was the supreme test, between being sucked back over the falls and being caught inside a couple of times, while I got worked the glasses NEVER MOVED, THEY NEVER CAME OFF, AND THEY NEVER PRESSED INTO THE BRIDGE OF MY NOSE OR ANYWHERE ELSE!!!!! These glasses are absolutely amazing and the tint is great. My normal sunglasses make the sky bluer and the trees greener, but your lenses are like having a regular pair of glasses on without the glare and the sparkle on the the water is no longer an issue either. What is so nice is I can see the swells coming from really far off giving me time to get to the right spot, even before the 18 to 20 year olds, and at 58 years of age that is important!!!! One last thing being able to see properly allowed my sessions out at Newport to be really good. My timing was better and being able to see made the rides better.
Thank you and stay stoked, John H.

I love these glasses. Having them totally changed my surfing experience. I could see the waves before, but I couldn't really discern their size, shape, possible doubling-up, etc. Now, I can see everything. I've worn them for approximately 100 sessions over the last 18 months (the last 77 in Hawaii!). They're still basically brand new. No wear or looseness or breakage of any variety. People often ask about them. I always refer them to your website. They've been a great product for me. Thanks. Allen T

Dear [Silverfish]:
I was so SURPRISED to find your package in our mailbox on Saturday 8/4/12. People around here frown at you if you don't "buy local," but I must say that I've never experienced the quality & service as good as Silverfish. You filled the order faster than my local optician for my regular glasses....and you're 3,000 miles away from here.
My daughter thinks her new sunglasses are totally AWESOME! Thank you, Frances

You guys rock! Got the new glasses and they worked great last week while I was at the beach. The glasses seem nice and sturdy and the distortion is gone [upgraded from Standard frame]. These are definitely my go to glasses for the water and even just wearing around a bit. Thanks so much for working with me and being responsive. I will be back for more in the future.
Cheers!

Good Morning [Silverfish]. :) It has been a good while since I made the purchase of the S-Rat sunglasses. I absolutely love these shades and use them primarily for wakeboarding and kiteboarding. They're great on the motorcycle and driving too. After two years of abuse the coding is starting to come apart and I have put them through their paces without a doubt, never broke (or had them fall off).

They are great - had a windsurf yesterday - what a difference being able to see properly - the optics and fit are perfect.
Thanks, a fantastic product - I'm sure I'll be ordering again.

Hi Silverfish
Just wanted to say thank you for getting my rx whistlers out so fast! My order went in on 9/9/10 and arrived on 9/16/10 -- that's amazing. The glasses fit perfectly, and they look awesome. They look even better than on the website -- it would be nice if you could upload some bigger pictures, so potential customers can see how kick@ss your frames look. I had Oakley Bottlecaps before, and I'm really happy with the switch to Whistlers.

Eye protection with attitude
I'm amazed at all the time people spend out on the water, in the brightest sunlight, with no eye protection. Even if I had 20/20 vision, I'd still love my Silverfish sunglasses, which are designed for watersports. I wear them windsurfing and surfing.
Silverfish come with special straps and an extra nose piece to keep them stuck to your face and are made of high-impact plastic that can survive a good wipeout.

. . . I also wanted to say while I am writing that after 45 years without glasses and not being able to see the people I was sitting next to, let alone the waves very well, your product is life changing.
I can now sit in the line up and recognize if people are smiling, frowning, or just acknowledging me. I used to also think that I could see waves coming better than others because I was not focused on the wave in the distance but a shape. Not any longer. I am not sure how people think with a guy with glasses next to them (is that guy just trying to be cool) but if given the chance I tell them how great is is to see in the water.
Thanks and yes I will be wearing my Silverfish glasses in Costa Rica in 2 weeks.

Hi,
There is so much about our order that we were incredibly pleased about. The speed of delivery, the fit, the lack of distortion in the lenses, the resistance to fogging even with 38 degree water and the air even cooler. . .
[Comments during order]:Was mentioned on SwellInfo.com. We've tried [Competitor] in the past. These are for my 14-year-old son. The [competitor']s came with noticeable distortion. The[y] did forewarn us. Disappointing nonetheless.

Boy, was I upset when I lost my Silverfish on 'da bus here in Hawaii. I was expecting to be spending much of the holidays out of the water, or at best boogie-boarding, which I am willing to do semi-blind, without my thick, nerdy glasses. I got my order in early December [Dec. 8th], and now my new pair are here on the 16th! Great service, and I already know how good the glasses look and how well they work. I use them windsurfing and surfing, and there's nothing better.

Please find enclosed two pair of your prescription Whistler model glasses (one regular and one sunglasses). I've had these for roughly five years now and they have made a huge difference in my surfing enjoyment.
Just a few weeks ago I had LASIK performed and I no longer need the prescription glasses out in the water. However, I feel that both pairs would still be very useful as non-prescription sunglasses. Therefore, I ask that you please replace the lenses in both pairs with non-prescription sunglass lenses.
Please contact me . . .to inform me of the total cost and to arrange payment.
Thanks for your help.

Hi:
I bought my Whistler Sunglasses with prescription and love them. The optics are extremely clear. I was having a hard time learning to surf because I couldn't see the waves coming. With the new glasses I can see the waves now. It makes for a much better experience. Being a beginner I wipe out constantly and the glasses are always there when I come up. I also use the glasses for sailing and they are fabulous. A very satisfied customer.

Just want to say how delighted I am with my surf glasses and with your excellent service. My vision is excellent and the turn-around time for getting these was just wonderful. Such a contrast to the dreadful service that I have had from S------- (and Johnny still has my money - and I have no glasses!).
So thank you. I will recommend you to all.

I recently purchased three pair of whistler glasses which arrived in Australia safe and timely. I am very happy with the product, they perform exactly as your website described. For the first time I can surf in direct aussie sun for hours without squinting, burning up my eyes, and loosing standard glasses that get ripped off my head.

Howdy,
I'd just like to write and express my amazement at your glasses. My wife recently bought two sets of prescription glasses (Whistlers for me and S Rats for her) and I've used them for 2 weeks now. They're incredible and have enabled me to see things while in the water for the first time in 30 years! Now I don't have to rely on the behavior of fellow surfers to know when to paddle quickly out to avoid a suddenly appearing close-out set! I can look around for marine mammals! I can see fishing lines hanging off piers! I'm amazed that they stay on and feel very secure despite my flailing around after wiping out or getting broad-sided by a wave. I've used them in the pool while swimming with our young son. Solid. Going nowhere. GREAT product! And, the prescription is first-rate! Thanks for making (for me) a transformative product! [D]an

I used them for the first time Tuesday at 36th St. Newport. Absolutely awesome! I'm using the leash as well as the strap and I CAN SEE!!!

Silverfish are great for the high glare conditions in Hawaii. Great product at a reasonable price. Mahalo.Dave
July 24, 2006 - (Whistler Frame, Rx, surfing, Florida)
I had to write and say thanks to everyone at Silverfish for your wonderful product. I recently ordered a pair of prescription Whistler's and they have truly changed my life. Growing up along the coast of Central Florida, surfing was a way of life for me. At age 16 my vision started to deteriorate and glasses and contact lenses soon followed. At first surfing was no problem, as everything was just a bit blurry without correction, but within a few years my vision problems made it dangerous to be out in the surf. Surfing with contact lenses was not an option so I was forced to give it up.
Fast forward 20 years, back living in Central Florida, and my two sons (Ryan and Adam) are now avid surfers. As I watched them, I realized how much I missed it and how cool it would be if I could get back in the water with them. I was talking with a friend of mine, who happens to be a former professional surfer, and he mentioned your product to me. I went to your website that day and ordered my pair of prescription Whistlers. Soon after they arrived, I paddled out into 3-4' surf, with Ryan and Adam, and surfed my brains out! I was amazed at how well the glasses performed. Even when I fell, and I fell a lot that first day, they never once moved on my face. My vision was clear and the glasses never once fogged up. I am proud to report that, thanks to Silverfish, I am a surfer once again! Your product has given me back a part of my life I thought was gone and it is hard for me to put into words what it means to surf with my sons. The glasses perform well, look cool, and I would recommend them to anyone.
Thanks for a truly great product.Steve
July 21, 2006 - (Whistler, S Rat Frame, windsurfing, Maui)
I wanted to pass on my thanks for your great products. I have been searching for a great pair of sunglasses to go windsurfing for years. I've used regular sunglasses with neoprene retainers for years but all it takes is a failed freestyle move or a good munching in the waves and something always comes up wrong. I can still remember blowing a duck jibe and hitting my face on the water only to come up with no lenses in an empty frame.
I bought my wife the polarized [S] Rat and I got myself the polarized Whistler. They worked flawlessly for 14 days of sailing in Maui this month. The polarized lens definitely cut the afternoon glare and the strap system held the glasses securely through wave "rinse cycles" and not so smooth freestyle stunts.
Thanks again for a great product.HC

I got back from a week on Oahu and Kauai on Jan 30. Trying to get out with my bodyboard through 4-5 ft surf at Makapu (red flags, "you could die" warnings, etc.) on Oahu, one of my fins was ripped off my foot and my board leash was ripped off my hand, but the glasses stayed on with no problems at all. Later in 4-5 ft shorebreak near Pipeline on the North Shore of Oahu, the experience was the same. I was worked and the leash (since replaced) was ripped off again, but the Whistler glasses stayed on. I had no trouble with fogging, film, or anything else. What a great product !Jay K

[F]antastic product, and thanks for the great support too!Happy Customer

How's it going?
I received the replacement lenses, and glass case the other day, and installed them post haste. I had called in and told how I took a surfboard in the right eye while wearing the Silverfish glasses. The doctor told me that I would have lost the eye if I had not been wearing the Silverfish, so they did their job in protecting my eyes. The lenses had been stress fractured along the length of the lens, but they did not break or fail.
Thanks.Steve - Rancho Palos Verdes

Glasses rock!
Hi [Silverfish],
Finally got some real wind up here in the Gorge to try out the new glasses. Really nice! I forgot they were on my head, that's how well they stayed put. I have a narrow face, and usually have a hard time finding glasses that fit (especially for windsurfing), but the Silverfish w/o the nosebridge fit wonderfully, no fogging.
We will order more for our Hatteras shop in Sept. Good product! Thanks again.Margaret / The Avon Sailhouse

Just want to say thanks to you for such fine service and a great product. Received as promised on Saturday afternoon. Did not go to the beach Sunday but went to a neighbor's pool. I tested my Silverfish by jumping into the deep end several times trying to simulate a wipe out. They stayed in place, no problem.
Tried them out for the first time this morning at Topanga and what a difference it made in my surfing enjoyment. Not only do I see much better now but the sun protection works wonderfully. At Topanga on a clear morning when the sun peeks over the top of the hills, it's directly in your eyes as you take the rights. It can be down right blinding to the point where you cannot see a thing when riding the wave. Not good. With the Silverfish it enables me to clearly see the wave in this adverse lighting condition. Magic!
I highly recommend Silverfish for anyone who needs to wear glasses and is into water sports.
By the way, my optometrist has two family members who are surfers who also use your product. He said that they love them too.Michael

Thanks for making my first surfing experience possible. I knew I wouldn't be able to surf without prescription eyewear, and thanks to Silverfish I was able to finally do it. I was in Hawaii last week and took lessons with Hawaiian Fire Surf school. The instructors rocked, and I even got compliments from them about my shades. They were really surprised that they stayed on thru the entire lesson. I admit, I was surprised myself. They didn't feel like they were sliding around or even wanting to come off! Hawaii is awesome, Hawaiian Fire is awesome and so is Silverfish! Mahalo!Belinda

Just wanted to say I received the Silverfish Black Whistler model to review for WindSurfing mag. I surfed with 'em yesterday, windsurfed with 'em today -- very impressed. They never came off my face. Within minutes I'd forgotten they were on. No fog. No hassle and best of all, no UV damage. Well done and I look forward to including them in the mag.Eddy - Editor, WindSurfing Magazine

First of all, let me say thank you to [the sales department] of Silverfish for [their] assistance and making sure every thing was good to go, from the time I ordered through the shipping of my glasses.
Guys, your product is great. These are the most fantastic shades I've every had in my life. The prescription, polarized lens[es] are wonderful. I'm not sure how I've gotten by all these years without my [S]ilverfish glasses. They are not only practical, they're stylish, too. I've received numerous compliments and recommend [S]ilverfish to everyone. The only thing better than owning a pair of [S]ilverfish sunglasses is having two pair.
Thanks again, everyone. Aloha. Kevin

I ordered and received a pair from you guys a few days before a short surf trip to FLA in early August. I have to admit that I was skeptical about the things--when I got them they seem[ed] to fit securely, but a dry run and a wet run are two different things. I tried them in the pool, and was immediately impressed with how comfortable they were and how they flat out eliminated the glare that has been causing me a lot of significant eye fatigue over the past few years.
But the test would come in the surf. I wore them three of four days, and first two small days, riding my 10 footer in some fun 1-3 foot surf. What was really great was that I could surf all morning with the rising sun in my eyes, then hit it again mid-day when the glare was at max; NO eye fatigue present at night before bed, or in the morning when I got up. The third day we had some thumping chest high, pitching waves, and the sunglasses were incredible. They held on through some good spin-cycle barrels (I had forgotten to bring my leash for the morning session and was riding my 7'4 all day). What was really amazing to me was that I could body surf in after my board and the glasses just refused to be pulled off my face. I didn't have any problem with fogging--just a quick head dip and they rinsed clean. I did find that I needed to clean them after 2-3 hours in the water, but that was no big deal. But I found the entire design--from the nose piece to the strap, was so fine....
In short, an incredible product. Thinking about sending them back before year's end to get prescription lenses put in so I can wear them all the time, especially for carveboarding the hills here to stay in shape..... Great product. I'd recommend them to anyone, anytime. Can't wait to get back to some larger surf to put them through the pacesTom

I have been out with my new [prescription] glasses a few times now. Conditions have not been extreme, but there have been wipeouts, and the glasses stayed on! I thought I would lose them (and 200 bucks) the first time out. I didn't believe they would really stay on, but they do! Plus I can see perfectly! I am stoked. For years I hesitated learning how to surf because I couldn‘t see, but now I can.
I also thought these glasses would make me surf better, but unfortunately, so far they haven't.Linda

Hi [Silverfish]- Just got my glasses- they are insane , much much better than I had expected. The quality of Whistler is just sensational, optical quality A1. Pity you don't have any one in Sydney selling them. I,m sure to be asked about them-they sh%$ all over the [Competition] -versatility plus. Once again thanks for your great service and excellent product. Craig

My Son is attending a Special Forces advanced paramedic program in Idaho. He was the only civilian accepted to the program this year because of his military background. His class is composed of several Seal team members and Airforce Pararescue personnel. When we had dinner prior to his leaving I gave him the Silverfish sunglasses which he flipped over. He said they were the perfect piece of equipment for combat paramedic training. Silverfish is now with the special forces folks in Idaho. Pretty cool.Jack

Everybody needs a good pair of glasses but my problem has always been finding a pair that worked in all conditions and environments. If this pair isn't the only pair I'm ever going need it's the closest I'm ever going to get. At the river, on the beach, mountain boarding, biking, jet skiing. I flogged these doing it all and they were awesome, especially excelling in the water.CoreAttitude.com
