All of them provide protection against ultraviolet radiation and, according to the European standard, are marked with the CE mark.
If you do not know
how to choose glasses for fishing, pay attention first of all to the material from which they are made.
- Plastic of unknown chemical composition.
- Plastic that meets European standards and tested by Polaroid.
- Normal polycarbonate, which is stronger than plastic. Such a material has a high polarization efficiency, it is resistant to optical distortion, mechanical damage.
- Glass superior to plastics and polymers in all respects, except for its great weight and impact resistance.
- Special optical material CR-39.
- Different materials from well-known companies (not glass).
Glasses for fishing can have different colors of lenses, but at the same time they must protect the retina from ultraviolet radiation.
- Pink. Such lenses are useful when rafting on a river, changing terrain, viewing contrasting landscapes.
- Copper. This color has a relaxing and calming effect, increases visual acuity. Lenses will have increased contrast. They are perfect for fishermen who like float fishing.
- Blue. Lenses of this color are ideal for sea fishing and sunny days.
- Gray is a universal option. Glasses are suitable even for daily wear. This color will convey all the shades of the natural spectrum as accurately as possible.
- Brown. Lenses are best used with variable cloud cover, they let the light spectrum through completely. But they are recommended to be used in bays and shallow areas, where the depth is not more than a meter.
- Yellow. Manufacturers have developed lenses of this color for use on cloudy, rainy days, during white nights and dusk.
