“Taking your eyewear to the next level…”<\/em><\/p>\n

Good sunglasses are an essential piece of equipment that every angler should have, however sorting through the list of features can be daunting.<\/p>\n

In the market for a new pair, I knew I wanted:<\/p>\n

Protection from UVA and UVB rays<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Why? Frequent exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun contributes to eye diseases, including cataracts, growths that can lead to cancer, and macular degeneration.<\/p>\n

Polarized lenses<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Why? Light waves are reflected off of water (or any shiny surface) in a horizontal pattern, which creates a blinding glare and can result in eye strain. Polarized lenses contain filters that block horizontal light waves. Removing that glare can also help with everything from spotting paddies offshore to being able to see structure under the water, and identify where an underwater kelp line runs.<\/p>\n

Lens Color<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Recommendations are generally grey (or \u201csmoke\u201d) for bright offshore conditions, and brown for overcast conditions. For all around saltwater fishing, brown works in most conditions.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Wrap Around Style<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Why? This semi-round frame style allows a panorama view of your surroundings, offering greater peripheral vision, while providing additional protection from exposure to UV rays from the sides, essential elements for those of us spending a lot of time in sun.<\/p>\n

I had the opportunity to \u201ctest drive\u201d a pair of Bomber Sunglasses, and the\u00a0Butter-Bombs<\/a> I picked satisfied all of the features listed above.<\/p>\n

For me, the biggest problem with wrap around style glasses is that they always seem to fit too close to my eyes, and my eyelashes brush against the lenses. It\u2019s not really uncomfortable, but it\u2019s annoying. This was the first pair I\u2019ve found that I did NOT have this problem with!<\/p>\n

I found these glasses to be very comfortable.\u00a0 The lenses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays.\u00a0 The wrap around style prevents\u00a0light and damaging rays from coming in from the side, top and bottom,\u00a0and also minimizes the effect of the wind, both of which can be irritating on your eyes.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Plus they have a few extra features that I wasn\u2019t looking for (features vary by models):<\/p>\n

They float!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Bomber Floating Sunglasses include patented foam linings that not only make these glasses float,\u00a0but also provides\u00a0for a snug fit and extra comfort for longer wear.<\/p>\n

Anti-fog<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a warm season. Glasses that fit snug to your face and sweaty conditions can conspire to make glasses fog and impair your view.\u00a0 These lenses are specially treated to resist fogging.<\/p>\n

Safety glass<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

While I don\u2019t plan to get hit in the face with anything, it could be a nice feature with jig fishermen around!\u00a0 Better yet, if you work in an environment that requires safety glasses, Bomber Eyewear’s\u00a0safety glass is impact tested, OSHA approved and meet ANSI Z87+ standards.<\/p>\n

All in all, these are a great pair of sunglasses, and at a great price!<\/p>\n
