Today, not a single sphere of human activity can do without some gadgets. Even fishing can become more convenient and interesting if you use polarized glasses when fishing. Let's take a closer look, what are they, how do they “work” and how to find a good model and check the filter for quality and performance.
Nuances of choice
Separation of the sun's rays, suppression of the so-called glare interference - this work is performed by polarized glasses. A quality product has special, filters built into the glass that suppress glare and allow you to see better through a thin layer of water. This model dampens the brightness of the snow and the reflection of trees in the water.
Be sure to pay attention to the following recommendations:
- Convenience and comfort in use – the most important parameter when choosing. The glasses fit well, do not fall, and do not put pressure on the bridge of the nose or temples. Therefore, when purchasing, fitting is very important, and this is not done in five minutes.
- There are enough glasses large nose pads for fixation.
- "No" looseness, wobbly hinges, falling out screws, nuts. Glasses must be reliable.

In addition, we recommend paying attention to the following tips:
- Worth purchasing with glasses special cord for the temples. This will help you avoid accidentally losing them during active fishing.
- Do not buy an accessory that fits tightly to your face. During sudden temperature changes, the glass may fog up and even condensation may form on the inside. This can happen, for example, when it is hot or very cold.
- Necessarily take a case for glasses. Any force majeure can happen while fishing. Sand, strong wind, fall - and the glass shattered. To ensure that your expensive purchase remains safe and sound, immediately buy a “house” for it, preferably with a rigid frame.
- An important addition is special rag for wiping lenses. A piece of fabric, a sleeve, or a handkerchief can damage the polarizing filter, especially when the accessory is made of plastic. A microfiber cloth designed for glass is the best option.
- If your glasses fog up, you can treat them with antifog – a special liquid that prevents condensation.
