Sunglasses are not just a fashion accessory, they are an essential protection for your eyes, especially when it comes to aquatic activities. Special sea polarizing sunglasses offer superior protection against the intense reflection of the sun on the water surface, reducing eye fatigue and improving visual clarity. In this article, we will explore why choosing a good pair of sunglasses is crucial for any water activity.
What sets water sports sunglasses apart?
Identifying sunglasses specifically designed for water sports is essential to ensure optimal protection and performance during your aquatic activities. These glasses are mainly distinguished by their technical features and design. Look for curved and wrap-around frames, which offer extended coverage around the eyes to protect against wind, splashes, and harmful UV rays. Lightweight and water-resistant materials are also a key indicator, with some models even capable of floating to prevent their loss at sea. Polarized lenses are another distinctive sign, as they reduce glare generated by the sun's reflection on water, thereby improving visual clarity and reducing eye fatigue. Finally, check for additional features suited to aquatic environments, such as hydrophobic coatings that repel water or retaining straps to secure the glasses during intense activities. These combined elements indicate that the glasses are specifically adapted to the demands and challenges of water sports, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience on the water.
What are the features of sunglasses for water sports?
Sunglasses for water sports, such as surfing, kitesurfing, and sailing, have unique features to offer the best experience and protection.
Curved and Wrap-Around
The specific design of curved and wrap-around frames is crucial for water sports enthusiasts. These glasses fit perfectly to the contour of the face, minimizing not only UV exposure but also wind resistance and water or sand infiltrations. This feature is particularly beneficial for maintaining clear and uninterrupted vision, essential when practicing high-speed sports like kitesurfing or jet skiing. Additionally, the wrap-around shape significantly improves peripheral vision, offering a wider view and better environmental perception, which is vital for safety and performance in the water.
Floating sunglasses
The innovative design of floating glasses addresses a common concern among water sports enthusiasts: losing their glasses in the water. By integrating lightweight materials and discreet floaters, these glasses remain on the surface, greatly facilitating their recovery after a fall. This functionality is particularly appreciated in sports where falls are common, such as stand-up paddleboarding or surfing. It represents a significant advantage, allowing athletes to fully focus on their activity without fear of losing their equipment.
Polarized lenses for increased protection
Polarized lenses are a major asset for water sports specific sunglasses. By specifically filtering light reflected by horizontal surfaces, like water, they significantly reduce glare. This glare reduction not only improves visual clarity and contrast but also decreases eye strain, a non-negligible advantage during long days at sea under bright sunlight. Polarized lenses enhance the perception of colours and details below the water's surface, an aspect particularly useful for activities like fishing, sailing, or even swimming, where the ability to clearly discern the surrounding aquatic environment can enrich the experience and increase safety.
Surfing, kitesurfing, sailing, on a fishing boat or at the beach, they will protect you
Whether you are passionate about surfing, kitesurfing, sailing, or just looking for glasses for your fishing boat outings or to enjoy the beach, special sea polarizing sunglasses are designed to meet all these requirements. They not only improve performance by offering clear, glare-free vision, but they also protect against UV and other dangers, such as wind and saltwater spray.

Not only do they protect your eyes from the harmful effects of the sun, but they also improve your experience by offering clear and glare-free vision. With the many options available on the market, finding the perfect pair that meets your needs in terms of sport, comfort, and style is easier than ever.
