When you’re watching the water, your eyes are the best tool you have for reading the riffle, seeing below the surface, and anticipating an eat. Polarized sunglasses for fishing protect your eyes from the harsh light reflecting off the water, reduce glare, and enhance contrast for the best possible vision above or below the water surface. Combined with the right frames and lens tech, polarized sunglasses help you spot fish and nail every strike. Check out our complete guide to Smith fishing sunglasses to find the right pair for your next adventure.
What is Lens Polarization?
Whether you’re scanning the river at dawn or battling unchecked afternoon sun in open water, polarized lenses cut surface glare and increase contrast to make the details pop, so you can fish longer without eye fatigue. Featuring a durable-surface treatment that filters out and blocks certain light waves, polarized sunglasses work for fishing because they let you see below the waterline.
