I wouldn't paddle with anything but polarized sun glasses. The glare
reduction is amazing. I have noticed that if I turn my waterproof camera
vertical that the LCD becomes impossible to read, but that is a minor
inconvenience. I have no problem using my radio or gps.

The glasses I use are the prescription ones found here
http://www.spexusa.com/home/ not cheap but really work great on the water
and they float!! Also, I have never had them come off while rolling or
anything else. Several of my friends use the non-prescription version and
love them too. Not affiliated with them in anyway, just a satisfied
customer.
