How to Choose the Best Fishing Polarized Glasses

Ойын-сауық

Have you had issues picking out the best polarized sunglasses for fishing?
Even been confused on what color sunglasses lenses are best for fishing?
Then you're going to want to watch this.
One of the most important pieces of fishing equipment every angler needs is a good pair of polarized sunglasses.
Polarized sunglasses severely reduce the amount of glare you deal with on the water and allow you to see through the water with greater clarity. They're critical for sight fishing and give offshore anglers an advantage too.
In this video, I show you what you need to know about polarized sunglasses for fishing and explain the difference between glass and polycarbonate lenses.
See the full guide to buying polarized sunglasses here:
www.saltstrong.com/articles/h...
Check out the list below to see a breakdown of the color lenses you should use based on the type of fishing you do:
Green Mirror Front Lens, Amber Inside Lens - polarized glasses with these lenses are ideal for inshore and shallow water fishing. This is the best color combo for sight fishing on the flats.
Yellow Lenses - these lenses are a great option for lowlight conditions and overcast skies. They are a good choice for people who engage in a variety of types of fishing.
Grey Lenses - these are the best choice for a general all around use. You can use these glasses inshore, offshore, nearshore, golfing, playing sports and being outside in general.
Blue Mirror Front Lens, Grey Inside Lens - polarized sunglasses with this color combo are the best option for offshore fishing. The blue front lens matches the color of the offshore waters and cuts down on the glare that reflects off the surface.
Let us know if you have any questions about this video in the comments section.

    A glass lens itself may be very resistant to scratches, but the mirror coating on it won't be. The glass lenses made by Costa actually have the mirror coating on the inside surface of the lens, which is why it wasn't damaged in that demonstration you did. If you tried the same thing on a mirrored lens made by a different company the mirror would get scratched up and make the lenses unusable.

    ALWAYS WEAR POLARIZED SUNGLASSES. I'm very glad you guys recommend POLARIZED lenses to people. It can't be stressed enough. Non-polarized sunglasses with tint will dilate your pupils without providing any UV protection. The UV eye damage is greater than simply not wearing sunglasses. It's a 1 way ticket to cataracts, macular degeneration, and other eye disorders. (I'm just a student BSN but I think it's an important topic).

    @@monaglewoodcrafts You'd be surprised how much UV is coming through even in overcast weather, I'd still strongly recommend polarized. For $50 bucks more you're saving yourself long-term irreversible cornea damage and or a painful case of photokeratitis(essentially sunburn on the eye). As this first commenter mentioned non polarized sunglasses dilate your pupils and then they're soaking up more UV. This is damaging even if you're not looking directly at the sun and just getting hit with water glare. I've had quite a few patients come in with photokeratitis from not wearing polarized lenses while fishing, boating, skiing/snowboarding/snowshoeing, even just going to SeaWorld and staring at the water for too long.

    Nice video! I will say a proper adjustment can also help reduce slipping of glasses. Vuarnet also has a nice tacky bridge on their newest racing 1918 model and only uses glass lenses! Gray lenses can also be color shifted based on the mirror applied, such that a gray lens with a red mirror will have a strong shift to blue (also great for deep water)! Overall great stuff! Nice work!

    Great video but I think tint is another factor. The last pair of polarized glasses I bought are awesome... at high noon. If the ambient light is not blazing they are a distraction to wear. I tried them on in store and liked the fit and assumed once I got them out in real daylight the tint would not be an issue. It was.

    This might help.... I purchased a pair of Costa Del Mars,,,, Polarized for fishing, I left them under the windshield in my boat in the sun to go snorkeling for a couple hours... I came back in the boat after snorkeling and the frames warped from the sun... I called Costa Del Mar customer service for warranty and THEY WOULD NOT COVER THEM for being left in the sun.......... Really?? Sun glasses that cant be left in the sun....... SO, I purchased a pair of Maui Jim polarized and have never bought another brand ever since.. real glass polarized lenses,, the rose colored lenses are my personal favorite for fishing,, the visibility thru water is stunning.. have left them in the sun, on the dash of my boat, the dash of my car and NEVER WARP.....
