Polarized lenses are essential for anyone who spends time outdoors. Especially out on the water. Your eyes are one of the important tools in the toolbox, and the correct pair of polarized sunglass lenses can make your days out on the water. They reduce eye strain squinting and provide comfort by reducing reflective glare. The sunlight can reflect massive amounts of glare from the surface of the water back towards your eyes. Blocking glare helps protect your eyes, but it also allows you to see through the water to gain an edge when fishing.

Choosing a lens colour

To get the most out of your sunglasses, it is important to choose the right lens colour. The best sunglass lens colour options vary depending on the environment and the type of fishing. There are lens colour tint options for low-light conditions for example fishing at dusk or dawn. There are colours for extremely bright light conditions with a blinding glare like offshore fishing. Other options include mirrored lenses in both glass and plastic and glasses that float so if you accidentally drop them in water you can easily retrieve them. Consider where you might spend your time on the water or outdoors to choose the best lens colour for the environment you intend to be in.

Your eye protection is foremost, get the correct glasses and the lens colour for the type of sport or recreation environment you are attending.​
