Sun glasses protective cover

[Donald Garner]

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.

Don't forget to wash the socks before putting your glasses in them. Good tip Donald!!!
