Fishing Sunglasses 101: Your Guide to Quality, Material, and Fit
When it comes to fishing, your eyes deserve the best protection. That’s why polarized sunglasses are an absolute must-have. Polarization not only eliminates glare but also enhances clarity, allowing you to spot fish more easily and enjoy your time on the water without squinting or straining your eyes. Plus, it reduces the harmful effects of UV light, keeping your vision sharp and your eyes healthy for years to come.
But here’s the thing: not all sunglasses are created equal. Sure, you could save a few bucks by opting for a cheap pair, but trust me when I say that’s a decision you’ll regret. Cheap sunglasses often use tinted lenses, which may seem fine at first glance. However, those tinted lenses can actually do more harm than good.
Let me break it down for you: when you put on a pair of sunglasses with tinted lenses, your pupils naturally dilate, allowing more light to enter your eyes. Sounds harmless, right? Wrong. That extra light also means more UV rays making their way into your eyes, increasing your risk of cataracts, macular degeneration, and even ocular melanoma – a rare but serious form of eye cancer. Not exactly the kind of catch you were hoping for, huh?
Polarized with Advantages
That’s where polarized lenses come in. Not only do Hook Optics lenses reduce glare, but they also provide superior UV protection, keeping your eyes safe and your vision clear, even on the brightest of days. And when it comes to lens material, you can’t go wrong with polycarbonate. It’s lightweight, impact-resistant, and virtually shatterproof, making it an excellent choice for anglers who aren’t afraid to tackle the elements head-on.
At Hook Optics, we take eye protection seriously. That’s why we’ve chosen to use only the finest materials and the highest quality scratch-resistant lens treatments on the market. Our ThermoForce lenses are not only polarized but also 5 times stronger than polycarbonate, ensuring unparalleled durability and protection, no matter what Mother Nature throws your way.
But we didn’t stop there. We’ve also coated our lenses with salt, hydrophobic, and oleophobic coatings to repel water, oil, and sunscreen, keeping your vision clear and your sunglasses looking like new, trip after trip. And with anti-static technology to repel sand and dirt, you can focus on reeling in the big one without worrying about scratches or smudges getting in your way.
Next Level Materials
When it comes to frame materials, we’ve got you covered there too. Whether you prefer the classic look of metal or the lightweight feel of our TR90 Material, we’ve got frames to suit every style and preference. And with an array of styles to choose from – including our classic aviators, TR90 wrapped made for sports and outdoor use, and our steampunk, 305 glacier frame with side guards – you’re sure to find the perfect pair to complement your personal style and fishing needs.
But perhaps most importantly, we understand that fit is everything when it comes to sunglasses. That’s why our expert opticians are here to help you find the perfect pair for your face shape and size, ensuring maximum comfort and performance, both on and off the water.
