What is Fishing Glasses?
Fishing glasses are specialized sunglasses designed to enhance vision and protect the eyes while fishing. Unlike regular sunglasses, fishing glasses typically feature polarized lenses. These lenses filter out horizontal light waves, reducing glare reflected off the water's surface. This allows anglers to see beneath the surface, spot fish, and detect underwater structures more easily. The frames are often designed to be durable, lightweight, and comfortable for extended wear. They may include features like adjustable nose pads and temple grips to ensure a secure fit, even during active movements. Popular brands include Costa Del Mar, Smith Optics, and Maui Jim, known for their high-quality polarized lenses and durable construction. Different lens tints are available, catering to varying light conditions - amber for low light, grey for bright sunlight, and copper for versatile use. Fishing glasses are essential equipment for any serious angler in India.
Key Features & Specifications
Our fishing glasses boast several key features. They utilize polarized lenses, typically constructed from polycarbonate or CR-39, offering 100% UV protection (UVA/UVB) and excellent clarity. The lenses reduce glare by up to 99%, significantly improving visibility. Frame materials vary, often including lightweight and durable nylon or TR90, providing comfort and resilience against impacts. Many models feature hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings, repelling water and oil for easy cleaning. Frame dimensions vary; however, a typical lens width might be 60mm, with a bridge width of 15mm and temple length of 135mm. Look for models with wrap-around designs for optimal peripheral vision and protection from wind and sun. Some models, such as those from Wiley X, are ANSI Z87.1 certified for impact resistance. Check the polarization efficiency, aiming for 99% or higher to ensure optimal glare reduction.
Use Cases & Applications
Fishing glasses are essential for various fishing applications across India. They are crucial for anglers fishing in both freshwater and saltwater environments. They're particularly useful for sight fishing, where spotting fish is key, such as in shallow waters of Kerala backwaters or the clear streams of the Himalayas. They improve visibility during boat fishing, helping to identify submerged structures like rocks and weeds, preventing snags. Kayak fishing and angling from the banks also benefit greatly, where glare can significantly hinder the angler's ability to see into the water. Anglers who spend long hours on the water, whether for recreational or competitive purposes, find these glasses invaluable for eye protection and enhancing their overall fishing experience.
Buying Guide - How to Choose
When choosing fishing glasses, consider lens tint based on the fishing environment. Amber or copper lenses are ideal for low-light conditions and overcast days, providing enhanced contrast. Grey lenses are best for bright sunlight, reducing overall brightness without distorting color perception. Polarized lenses are a must-have. Check for 100% UV protection to safeguard your eyes from harmful rays. Frame fit is crucial; ensure a comfortable and secure fit, considering the size and shape of your face. Look for durable, lightweight frames made from materials like nylon or TR90. Consider features like adjustable nose pads and temple grips. Check for the polarization percentage. Finally, compare prices and read reviews before making a purchase. Avoid cheap imitations, which may offer poor optical quality and inadequate protection.
