Fishing Sunglasses

If you’re passionate about boating, camping or fishing, then investing in a quality pair of sunglasses should be a no brainer. Our eyes play such an instrumental role in our day to day lives, yet they are often neglected. Looking after our eyesight is every bit as important as protecting the skin from sun exposure. Good eyewear will help prevent damage, such as cataracts, due to overexposure to the suns glare.

What are the advantages of polarised fishing sunglasses?

For outdoor activities there really is no better option than polarised lenses. Using an ultra-thin chemical filter, they limit the amount of glare and reflecting sunlight that enters the eyes. They present images much clearer with added sharpness and clarity, while also showing better contrasting colours, with minimal distortion. Anglers were quick to see the benefits of wearing polarised sunglasses, cutting through the surface glare and allowing them to see beneath the surface of the water to spot target fish and structure. A good pair of sunglasses can also act as protection from wayward hooks and other foreign objects.

What colour polarised lens is best for fishing?

Each with its own benefits, lens colours differ greatly from copper, grey, rose, yellow and green.
