Polarised sunglasses for water

Brought to you by Just Sunnies | Vol. 40 No. 5

Offering the biggest range of polarised sunglasses in Australia, Just Sunnies can’t catch the fish for you, but can definitely help you find them.

Your eyes are your greatest asset when it comes to navigating a boat, serving as a radar, fishfinder, depth detector and docking assistant. So it’s important to protect them and provide optimum clarity by wearing sunglasses that reduce reflected on-water glare.

With literally thousands of pairs to choose from, of varying styles and lens quality, it pays to deal with a leading specialist retailer such as Just Sunnies to ensure your glasses are fit-for-purpose – whether you’re fishing, sailing, waterskiing, riding a jetski or just cruising with the family.

Importance of polarisation

Far more than a fashion accessory, serious sunnies are essential marine safety aids that enhance vision while reducing eye strain and fatigue.

Polarised lenses are superior when it comes to tackling intense glare and UV radiation. The filter shields against horizontal light waves, enabling you to see below the water surface with sharper contrast and colour perception.

Fish, reefs and structure will be clearer, as will navigation markers, swimmers and other hazards when driving into blinding early-morning or late-afternoon sunlight.

Given that boating life is hard on sunglasses, look for premium brands that generally have greater durability.

High-performance polarised shades

MAUI JIM - 'ANO NUI

Vivid lens clarity and classic styling make the ‘Ano nui from Maui Jim a sight for sore eyes. You get exceptional protection and all-day comfort from the free-flowing wraparound frame, complete with an interior camo treatment. Precision-made, ultra-light SuperThin glass lenses provide crisp optics while blocking 100 per cent of UV rays.

SERENGETI CARSON

Personifying performance, the Carson’s sculptured, navigator-style nylon frames are light and strong, with rubber nose pads and temple tips enhancing comfort. Added to this is Serengeti’s unique 3-in-1 mineral lens technology with photochromic polarisation that emits just the right amount of light in varying conditions.

MAKO - GT XL

The GT XL’s larger-fit TR90 frames have shape-retention qualities for long-lasting performance during frenetic fishing action. Premium Crown Glass lenses feature Mako’s proprietary High Definition and Infra-Red technology for exceptional clarity. They also resist scratches and oil smears. Buying a pair of the GT XLs also supports The Fly Program for men’s mental wellness.

SPOTTERS RIOT

Australian-owned, Spotters appeal to those who like fashionable, functional eyewear. The Riot’s 6-base frame boasts a slightly larger and flatter silhouette while being flexible and durable. Fully polarised copper halide gloss lenses are chemically hardened for scratch resistance. The emerald green base tint helps increase depth perception and visual definition.

OAKLEY META HSTN

Oakley’s Meta HSTN sunnies are good for your face and your Facebook page, if you want to take hands-free pics and videos while chilling at sea. Along with a 12MP camera, you can listen to music via built-in speakers, using Meta AI voice-command interactivity. The modern frames contain polarised Prizm™ lenses. They’re water-resistant (IPX4) but not designed to resist submersion.

COSTA DEL MAR BLACKFIN PRO

Your perfect fishing companion is a more refined and rugged version of Costa Del Mar’s best-selling Blackfin style. The wraparound frames have chunky side shields with vented sweat-management channels, along with slots to attach a neck strap, and adjustable nose pads to reduce fogging. Renowned polarised lightwave glass lenses provide exceptional clarity and contrast.

TONIC OUTBACK

The name might suggest these are for 4WD folk but Tonic Outback sunnies are equally at home offshore. Rendered in matt black, their rectangular, flat-top frame design looks sophisticated yet remains effortlessly comfortable for all-day wear. Grey-based, blue mirror polarised glass lenses help to tame glare for fishing, sailing, paddling and other water sports.
