'- Everything you need to know
Fishing goggles are different from regular sunglasses. They are specially designed for fishing and are also suitable for other activities near the sea. Really good fishing goggles enhance the fishing experience and allow you to fish for a long time without over-straining your eyes.
At Leech, we live and are passionate about sport fishing, which means we know the importance of having really good glasses. Our polarized glasses have UV400 protection, which provides 100% protection against UVA, UVB and UVC rays. In addition, they allow you to see colors more accurately, clearly and with better contrast. It's a really good prerequisite for many days on the water and for vision that will last a long time.
Sport fishing goggles or polarized glasses
Fishing goggles or polarized glasses are sunglasses with polarized glass. Polarized glass works like a polarized filter and allows only a part of the light waves to penetrate. It works by refracting the harmful UV light and sending it in different directions. The contrasts are then stronger and the colors are brighter. It also means that glare is reduced, as not all the light reaches your eyes.
Water can cause a lot of glare, which is why good fishing goggles are important when it comes to fishing and other activities in and around water. Too much glare over time can weaken your vision and be dangerous in the long term, polarized glasses reduce that risk. If you spend a lot of time near water, it is a must, to protect your eyes.
What are the advantages of polarized glasses?
There are many advantages to polarized glasses. Not only do they reduce the risk of impaired vision. Polarized glasses allow you to see better through the water, which is very good especially when fishing shallow. This means that you can see both the fish and the line better. Then you can also adapt yourself and your fishing more, which hopefully results in more catches. Our polarized glasses are of very high quality and therefore also have a really long lifespan. It is definitely worth investing in a pair of really good sunglasses, when you spend a lot of time by the water.
Which fishing goggles should I choose?
We offer a variety of sport fishing glasses. All of these are polarized glasses, but otherwise the different models differ from each other. Some of the models differ in terms of design so that you can choose a pair of sunglasses that are not only functional, but that you actually think are stylish. Other models have different colors of the lens. The different colors of the lens also all have their own advantages.
Yellow lenses work well for most situations. In low light, overcast weather, fog and twilight, a yellow lens is the absolute best option. A yellow lens also provides good contrast and is preferable in winter when there is ice and snow outside.
Copper lens works in most weather and enhances contrasts in both sunny and cloudy weather. The copper lens is all-round and the most popular lens in our range. With this lens comes a wide choice of different mirror coatings, which determine the contrast level and light transmission of the lens.
Grey lenses are optimal when you are looking for polarization but do not want high contrast. A very good choice if you want a pleasant light in bright sunlight.
Because of the advantages of the different lenses, it can be a good idea to think about when you fish most and what lenses you need most for your fishing goggles. Sometimes one pair is enough, but we recommend a pair of different polarized glasses if you fish in many different weather conditions. This gives you a great chance to see as well as possible and to get the best experience every time. Despite the stated advantages of the different lenses, also consider which lens you actually enjoy the most. It should be comfortable for you to use our fishing goggles. Not least because you want to use them every time you fish.
Accessories
In our range you will also find various types of accessories. When you buy your sport fishing glasses, we recommend that you buy a float line. All our sport fishing glasses are designed for active fishing and fit very well, but it is always good to have extra protection to avoid having to dive for your sunglasses if situations with a lot of adrenaline arise. A float line allows you to concentrate 100% on your fishing, throughout the day and allows you to focus. We also recommend that you purchase a case for your polarized glasses.
A pair of polarized sunglasses provides the UV protection you need. Read more about our different models of polarized glasses to see more detailed specifications.
