I bet these work best when used with canned air.

I have a budget of 10 dollars for sunglasses normally. I was gifted a couple pairs of these last spring from a client. I’ve recently becoming a very avid mushroom hunter. I go with some seasoned mushroom guys who all use some unique pair of safety glasses to help them look. There is a lot of different shade of safety glasses. With that said the above glasses worked very well. They were a blast wearing blacktail deer hunting in the old growth. It just makes everything pop.

I gave both pairs to my mushroom mentors. They love them. I saw it as a good way to pay back so much knowledge given to me.

I wouldn’t buy them as I’ve mentioned they are outside my budget. But I also wouldn’t make a post just bagging on something I haven’t tried. To each their own.

If it gets anyone interested in mushrooms or fungi it’s a success in my book. 🤙

There's some truth to the right lens helping. I pick a lot of morels and my smith photochromatic copper lenses make the green vs brown a lot more contrasting.

Using for mushrooms is not why I posted this. Maybe they work great for that. Sheds though? Come on now. How often are people standing right over the top of a shed antler and can't spot it because it's too camouflaged within the foliage?

Out west I would say rarely. But a tines down whitetail shed in the trees with all those leaves? Very easily. And that’s where a lot of those bucks like to drop.

It’s ok to hate just to hate. Last I checked this is America 🤙

I must need shed hunting glasses. Do they come with a flatty. 🍿
Careful, you might get called out for being a hater. 🙄

I enjoy mushroom hunting, especially Morels which are difficult to see a lot of the time. Honestly if these glasses were marketed solely for that purpose I may have even had some interest, especially at a lower price. Advertising to shed hunters seems purely like a marketing ploy though. It would be like saying these are good at finding sticks too. Mushrooms are small and you often need to be within just a few feet of them or standing right over them to see, so maybe theses glasses do indeed help spot fungi easier. If someone bought these solely to help find sheds though I bet they would find the exact same amount of sheds as they would without the glasses. Maybe we need someone to do a Rokslide field test.

Dang. I need these shades, a keep hammering shirt in youth small to show my muscles and perhaps a Muley Freak flat brim.
