What are the advantages of polarized glasses for fishing?

Polarized glasses offer advantages that far outweigh conventional sunglasses, especially when it comes to practicing outdoor activities or sports. In general, they significantly improve vision by drastically reducing all types of glare. In the particular case of polarized fishing glasses, they provide benefits such as:

• They have a chemical coating that blocks horizontal light waves and allows only vertical light waves to pass through. As a result, they prevent glare and even temporary blindness that can be caused by sunlight reflecting off the surface of the water.

• Polarization also reduces glare when viewing solid surfaces, so you can see all your fishing gear clearly and move around the boat without worrying about annoying reflections.

• If the problem is clarity or contrast, polarized glasses solve it by improving sharpness and color intensity. For optimum results, choose polarized lenses in the right color. We'll tell you what each lens color is for below.

• Finally, polarized fishing glasses provide full UV protection and help reduce eye fatigue considerably. In short, by wearing them you can spend all day fishing with the peace of mind that you are not damaging or straining your eyesight.

Recommendations for choosing your polarized fishing glasses

Before you buy, make sure your polarized fishing glasses meet these characteristics:

1. Comfortable fit: the best fishing sunglasses are those that fit you like a glove. Choose acetate models that are flexible, lightweight and do not squeeze around your head or on your nose. If the nose pads or nose pads are made of rubber, all the better, as they will not slip with sweat.

In case you are going to buy your fishing glasses online, take your measurements to determine the size of your glasses and verify that they match the size of the frame you have chosen.

2. Style and functionality: look for fishing sunglasses that besides making you look fashionable are made of resistant and durable materials such as high quality acetate, injected acetate or titanium. Today's frame materials are getting lighter and lighter, so there's no need to wear heavy, boring fishing glasses.

3. Brand matters: that's right, if you opt for imitation polarized fishing glasses they will most likely fall short in terms of protection and you will lose your money. It is better to buy glasses of recognized brands and in authorized opticians.

If you don't know how to identify authentic polarized glasses, learn how to do it with these tips to know if a pair of glasses is polarized.

4. Right lens color: Black glasses won't always work for fishing, even though they are the option most people choose. It's a good idea to have several fishing glasses with different colored lenses. This way, when you go fishing you can choose the glasses that best suit the lighting conditions of the day for optimal vision.

What is the best color of polarized fishing glasses?

The ideal lens color for your polarized fishing glasses depends on the intensity of the sunlight you are exposed to and the cloudy conditions. Take note of the polarized lens colors available and choose the ideal one for the day you go fishing:

• Gray and black: contrary to what you might think, gray or black glasses are not foolproof for fishing. Specifically, they are good for fishing only on very sunny and clear days.

• Mirrored blues: these are perfect for deep-sea fishing, as they allow you to see the colors on the surface of the water more intensely.

• Yellow or pink: ideal for fishing in autumn, winter or simply on those cloudy days when sunlight is very weak.

• Brown or green: these colors are great if you are going to fish in a lake or an inlet with mountains or vegetation around, as they help you to have a vision with greater contrast and depth of field.

Remember that sunlight can vary throughout the day due to atmospheric conditions and that you may suddenly find yourself fishing in cloudy or foggy conditions. That's why it's wise to always carry two pairs of polarized fishing glasses with you: one with high-light lenses such as blue mirrored lenses and one with low-light lenses such as yellow lenses.
