The Best Polarized Fishing Sunglasses

Polarized sunglasses reduce glare so anglers can see underwater structures and spot fish. Because most fishermen spend hours on the water, poor optimal clarity can lead to eyestrain and fatigue. Fisherman can choose between a range of polarized lens colors including smoke (gray), brown and amber. These and other colors are designed to eliminate 99 percent of all reflective glare and protect the eyes against harmful U.V. rays.

Smoke Lenses

FISHGILLZ Montego "Floating" polarized fishing and boating sunglasses feature a wraparound frame and smoke lens color. Anglers receive full eye protection and can experience the full spectrum of all colors without distortion. The smoke shade is excellent for day-to-day use and is the best lens color for bright sunny days and open water fishing. Oakley offers a similar frame, the Monster Dog polarized fishing sunglasses, which also feature a smoke lens color and a wraparound frame.

Brown Lenses

Ono's offers a range of sunglasses designed specifically for fishing. Sunglasses with a brown lens provide contrast and true color perception, which is ideal for shallow water stream and flats fishing in medium to bright lighting conditions. Ono's Schooner polarized fishing sunglasses are lightweight, impact resistant and feature a scratch resistant coating. The rimless titanium frame features non-slip nose pads for greater comfort. A Hydrophobic lens coating repels sweat, rain, sunscreen, skin oils and dirt.

Amber Lenses

Sunglasses with an amber lens are excellent for low light conditions such as early morning and late night fishing. Heavily overcast days as well as snowy conditions also require an amber lens for optimum clarity. The H3O Tsunami increases contrast and color separation without distortion. The lens blocks harmful ultra violet light, is scratch resistant and provides water sheeting action and easy cleaning. The curvature of the frame is designed for anglers and other sportsmen who require eye protection from all angles with no peripheral blind spots.
