Any polarised sunglasses. Get cancer council ones. Usually 40 bucks. Add a head strap. Sometimes chemists shops have them at two for $20, Get two.
This thread reminded me to get some new sunnies. So off I go and order some Dapto sunnies from the Cancer Council web site (awesome suggestion Shifu).

On the water yesterday and discovered these sunnies are definitely *not* polarised. I got them home and tested them on an LCD display to see how bad they were. The interference pattern looked like a collidoscope !. Basically, cheap ****ty specs have ended up in their stock. So, I wrote to Cancer Council last night explaining this. This is the response I got today:

A completely incompetent bull** cut/paste response that has insulted my intelligence. They have completely ruined their reputation for everything they claim and have ever claimed about their products now. How can I trust them ?
So, now I'm on the hunt for something else. I'm happy to pay. My eyes are getting stuffed now. I need something from a company/store that is "reputable".
