Here is the ones I use for kayaking.

I have the elite unit as that is the size that fits me the most

I ordered the sunglasses and had Pearle Optical replace the sunglasses with my prescription.

Works great.

Jim Johnson recommended them to me.

Far as I know, neither of us have had a problem and these things stay put!

Thanks for the link, Dave! On a recent trip, the Foster Grant polarized sunglasses I bought for the trip broke before I got to the putin... I spent 18 days using bi-focal, non-polarized sunglasses & got my eyes sunburned and toe broken (from trying to hike while shifting between magnified/normal areas on the glasses) as a result. I may suggest a pair of these to Santa!

Yup, these Silverfish units are not advertised as safety glasses, but I figure if they can survive surfing wipeouts, they will work for my kayak wipeouts.

I'm very satisfied with mine. Since I took out the original sunglass and replaced it with Rx lenses, they may not be as bullet proof as the originals as far as a lens popping out. I do not think these frames are gonna come off my head tho. And I do not use the secondary strap back up.

Since I got these with my Rx, my rafting choice of lines has greatly improved as well.
