Water sports expose the eyes to extreme conditions: bright light, intense reflections on the water, humidity, wind, salt. Sunglasses for water sports address these challenges with UV400 polarized lenses, hydrophobic treatments, and robust frames for water. Whether you practice windsurfing, kitesurfing, paddleboarding, or sailing, you need optical equipment that meets the challenge.
What is the purpose of polarized lenses for water sports?
Polarized water sunglasses are essential for water activities. They significantly reduce glare reflections from the water surface, improving visibility and safety. These anti-glare sea lenses help distinguish obstacles, waves, and even marine life in some cases. For kayaking, fishing, surfing, or sailing, they are an essential ally.
