Greetings to everyone,
I wear prescription glass so while fishing I use Cocoon Fit-over Sunglasses. I've had issues with the lens getting scratches etc. They come with a nice little carry case with them but they still for some reason get scratches. Today while cleaning out the Stratos I replaced a pair I lost during Fishing for Freedom. I thought I'd try this idea to see if this would keep the lenses from being scratched while in their cases.
I have (3) pair of glasses that I wear fishing depending on the weather conditions. All of my cases are marked with type of lenses and for what conditions. This pair is for use during Cloudy Overcast days.

I took the new replacement pair of glasses and made an additional pouch to put them in. I took a clean pair of old socks and cut the top off.
