FishGillz Polarized Floating Sunglasses Review

Your Guide to Buying and Wearing Sunglasses

Choosing sunglasses can be difficult given the number of different styles available. Learn which style of sunglasses flatters your face shape, features, and style.

I field tested the sunglasses while steelhead fishing in Mid-Michigan in the middle of winter. During that time of year, the ice and snow only amplify the sun¡¯s harmful rays and the sunglasses provided excellent physical protection from wind, stray casts, reduced eye strain, and, of course, eliminated glare, enhancing the ability to sight fish. I found the polarization and shape of the lenses provided both eye protection and crisp viewing in all types of sunlight conditions.

Durability is always a concern when moving fishing tackle. While I would never recommend knocking the sunglasses off the roof of your car, carelessly throwing them in the bottom of your tackle box, or purposely tossing them into the water, that is exactly what I did. I was beyond rough on them, and each time the glasses held up without a scratch.

As far as extras go, the sunglasses come in a custom padded nylon zipper case that floats as well so you don¡¯t have to worry if you happen to knock them into the water. A customized micro-fiber lens cloth also is provided for cleaning and protecting your glasses for years to come. Optional high visibility tips also can be inserted into the glasses, making them easier to locate if you drop them in the water.
