How to Choose the Right Sunglasses for Fishing

For some, the process of selection of sunglasses can be difficult and frustrating. For others, it is educational, a thrilling adventure-seeking, reading, questioning, trying to feel fit, look, looking, and finally the election. The process must not be confusing or overwhelming. If you are aware of a few important points, you can not only make the process fun, but also make sure you actually choose the glasses that best suit your needs.


A polarizing lens, Fisheries and highly desirable for the drive somewhat resembles a microscopic amount of blinds, whereby all wavelengths of light that is not parallel to the lines of the filter within the lens. Thus they eliminate glare, which makes it possible to see into the water, and reduce eye strain on the wearer.
It is important to understand what the "real" glasses. Simply put, the best sunglasses are those that you actually want is to wear when outdoors.
Drew Simmons of Smith Optics says: "Choosing the right frame, it depends on three things-fit, color and lens material and frame style and color."
Fit and comfort are crucial. Take some time to try on sunglasses and think about how they feel. It should be comfortable and safe. If you are a fisherman you should remove the light that might come in around the periphery of the frame. You should not be slipping off the nose, pinch your temples, or you are hurting your ears. A high-performance polarizing lens does not protect you if it is not on your face. Your glasses should be so good that you forget they are there fit.
Lenses are a complex topic. First, the lenses of glass or of two types of plastic. Optical quality glass lenses provide the sharpest vision, because they are cut and polished like a fine camera, so that the surface of the lenses are free from any defects. Optical quality glass sunglass lenses are chemically or heat treated to impact-resistant. Although glass heavier than plastic, it retains its shape when heat is applied. This means that glass lenses perform better than plastic, when they accidentally left on a dashboard in the hot afternoon sun. Glass is more scratch resistant than plastic. However, glass lenses are not unbreakable. If you hit in the face with a mask breaking the glass, with predictably ugly results could.
The two types of plastic are used in high-quality glasses are polycarbonate and CR-39.The CR-39 is an optical quality plastic made of hard resin. It is generally considered the best, and is the most common plastic used for sun protection glasses. It weighs half as much as glass, which means it is not difficult in the face. It exceeds the requirements for impact resistance due to its molecular structure.
Compared with the CR-39 and glass, polycarbonate plastic weighs the least and is the most impact resistant. Polycarbonate is a good choice for those people that really sturdy sunglasses, including people who want to engage in outdoor activities and fast-action sports. Polycarbonate is widely used and is considered the second most common optical plastic. A disadvantage is an increased susceptibility to scratches and abrasion, with a hard coating applied to its scratch resistance is similar to that of CR-39.
Next, we need to consider lens colors. Let us try to raise this issue with the statement (somewhat arbitrarily) that simplify four basic colors of polarizing glasses, you look through (I'm not talking about the mirror on the outside of the glass here): dark brown, light brown, green and gray . Some companies have cinnabar, copper, amber and other colors. They are simply variations of our basic four.
The fishermen never want a green lens. They do not provide enough contrast in all conditions for the detection of fish. Dark brown is the best for coastal fisheries in bright sunlight. Light brown (or yellow) lenses are best for shore fishing in low light or on cloudy days.
Offshore anglers prefer gray lenses that eliminate much of the blue color of the water and fish can "pop". If you can, you should see three different glasses with all three colors have the lens, so you are ready for any conditions. Otherwise, choose the color that best suits the conditions under which you normally fish. I only wear dark brown glasses because my eyesight dramatically increase the cost of my glasses.
Some companies now offer lenses to get darker or lighter in response to the intensity of the light hitting them. While these cost more, they make a single eyeglass versatile and can be a better value than two different pairs of glasses.
They make a fashion statement with your frame style and color. Although these do not directly affect the performance of the lenses (except for the support of the FIT), they affect how often you wear them. How we see ourselves and how we try to improve our appearance, for many, the most important factor in maximizing the actual usage. Take the time to frame that you really like.
Do not be distracted by comparing UV performance claims. Each quality sunglasses are more than sufficient UV blockage.
Unfortunately, good sunglasses are not cheap. A decent pair costs at least $ 50.00 and really good ones are $ 100 and higher. But God gave only one pair of eyes. I know a man who had a skin cancer on his cornea. He lost the eye. That makes the $ 100 seems quite reasonable.
The enormous variety of sunglasses available, allowing you to find the best sunglasses for you. Use this to your advantage to find the perfect sunglasses, the ones you'll wear forever, if found in the open.
In addition to guiding fly and light tackle anglers around the world have come under the Indian River Lagoon on Florida's skiff, canoe, kayak and John Kumiski also writes books, free journal articles, and indulging in photography.
His three most recent books are a favorite of his Space Coast area to match with the title enough Fishing Florida's Space Coast, another is the very popular Flyrodding Florida salt, and the latest is called Redfish on the Fly-A Comprehensive Guide. This title won the first prize in the category of best book in the Florida Outdoor Writers Association Excellence in Craft Contest.
