How to choose sunglasses for sailing

Polarized lenses and UV protection
When sailing, sunglasses with polarized lenses are essential as they reduce glare from the water's surface and ensure a clear view. Make sure the lenses have 100% UV protection to prevent eye damage.

Durability and fit
Choose sunglasses made from durable materials, such as polycarbonate, that can withstand wind, water, and impact. A secure fit with flexible frames and non-slip nose pads will prevent the glasses from slipping while sailing, even in windy conditions.

Design and functionality
A modern design combined with technical features makes the sunglasses suitable both on board and in everyday life. When sailing, mirror-coated lenses can be an advantage in areas with a lot of sun, as they reduce brightness and increase contrast.
