Simply put,
polarizing the sunglass lens is a system of filtering and
deflecting the reflections of the sun's ray. Here is a
great article
posted on a professional fishing charter captain's website
explaining more about how important polarized
sunglasses can be in fishing and how it can work
for you. The technology for the methods of polarizing sunglasses will
vary by each manufacturer. Click on the picture of
the model of sunglasses and read about the
SOS (Survival Optic Sunglasses) polarization
process and the reasons why we preferred the
particular models that we have chosen.

Service
-
On the internet most
all major manufacturers sell their sunglasses through
dealers. These are either online retailers and
discount houses. Although some will charge you
enough to provide you with some sort of a
warranty, that warranty has to be claimed
through the seller and not the manufacturer.
Depending on the reliability of the seller. the
warranty can get risky, complicated and time
consuming. Our fishing sunglasses and goggles are
warranted directly through the manufacturers.

Price
-
As you might expect,
good optical quality
polarized sunglasses are going to be
a bit more expensive then those cheaper Ebay versions that are mass
produced overseas and marketed through
the various internet sellers. If
you want to get the most out of your
day of fishing, you
probably don't want to end your day
with bloodshot eyes that has been caused from eye strain
or with a headache from unfiltered sun glare.
It is our opinion that your best
choice is to find a pair of polarized sunglasses that offer
all the better options to improve the enjoyment of your
fishing at a price you afford
without having to sacrifice too deeply for them.

Lens Colors -
Your
lens color choice needs to be a blend of both
personal preference and function. Some angler's
eyes are just more comfortable in one lens color
than another. The old green lenses have become a
thing of the past and their previous popularity
has been taken over by smoke grey because the
green lenses were much too light restrictive
which even led to extreme color distortion. Grey
lenses offer good UV eye protection while
allowing a better light field than the green.
Lens colors of brown, copper, and rose are all
similar in light intensity and tend to even
brighten the field of view which makes them the
most effective in low light conditions like dusk
and dawn. I can't begin to tell you that one
color is better for all fishing conditions but
my personal experience had been that I prefer
the brown and copper lenses for better
underwater visibility in most freshwater fishing
and the grey is normally my choice for better
visibility when I'm around around saltwater.
