Any experienced fisherman knows that on a hot sunny summer day it is quite difficult to fish, since not only direct sunlight, but also deceptive reflections on the water surface make it difficult to see a float or other tackle. To avoid this problem, most anglers use special polarized glasses. This article will discuss how best to choose such glasses.
How to choose
In order to wisely approach the issue of choosing glasses with a polarizing filter, you need to rely on several basic parameters. The list of these parameters is as follows:
- Frame material.
- Convenience.
- Filter element color.
- Lens material.
Frames for fishing glasses are mainly made of plastic and metal. The first one is quite cheap and accessible, while the second one has higher strength properties.As for the material from which the lenses are made, it can be polycarbonate or glass, and glass lenses most often cost the buyer more than plastic ones.
Important! The fact that the “plastic” option is often cheaper than the “glass” one does not mean that plastic is without advantages in comparison. For example, it is much more resistant to damage and less dangerous due to mechanical damage. In addition, plastic is lighter and does not put as much pressure on the bridge of the nose when worn.
Particular attention must be paid to the color of the glass of the product. Brown, pink or yellow colors increase image contrast, while gray or black provide the most reliable color reproduction.
Recommendations for selection
Some unscrupulous manufacturers sometimes deceive customers by passing off glasses without a polarizing filter as a product with one. In order to check the presence of a filter, you need to look through the lens at the display of any smartphone, laptop or LCD TV, checking the color rendition. After this, you need to turn the glasses 90 degrees and look through them at the screen again. If the screen image darkens, then the presence of a filter in the product can be considered confirmed.
Reference! The most famous manufacturers of polarized glasses today are the companies Snowbee, Aqua and Tagrider.
As for the price, it can vary from 300 to 10 thousand rubles. Expensive models are not necessarily higher quality, and experts note that a really good model can be found in the price range of two thousand rubles.
