Defender.com is a popular boating supply site. Kind of like West Marine. Gill make serious sailing clothing.

I don't know much about these sunglasses. They float. They are polarized. They look like they are at a pretty good price.

List for $90, seen on the web for around $80, on "Special Buy" for $51 adult sized in silver and blue only.

No tax outside Connecticut.

Defender is only about a mile from my house.. they always have good deals on Marine Electronics, I make a point of checking them out from time to time.

Looks like they are OOS on these sunglasses however


These sunglasses were $38 each at Layline.com 2 weeks ago. Gil may be clearing them out since its the end of the season in the northern hemisphere.
