Bajio Polarized Glasses Swash - Black Matte (Blue Mirror PC)
The so-called Swash are modern sports glasses named after one of the most iconic flats of Islamorada. They have a practice-oriented and stylish design with a slightly bent shape and relatively large lenses for maximum eye coverage. This prevents light from entering from the sides, which otherwise would cause a distracting glare. In fact, this is a huge advantage in bright situations with a constantly changing angle to the sun – for instance while fishing saltwater flats. Due to their extremely robust frame made of bio-based nylon, they have an impressively light weight. Combined with the non-slip rubber nose pads, this creates outstanding wearing comfort – even after hours of fishing. Further, these relatively large glasses with a wide fit are particularly suited for medium-sized to large heads.
Furthermore, these glasses also set new standards in terms of optical performance. Due to the innovative LAPIS™ technology, they block 95% of the blue light with a wavelength of 440 nm and the majority of intense yellow light at its peak of 580 nm. In other words: significantly more than the glasses of the competition. This reduction of the distracting light provides impressive clarity and it prevents eye fatigue, which allows you to fish longer and more effectively. Combined with one of the best polarization layers on the market, this creates a truly impressive view – both above and below the surface of the water. Therefore, it is hardly surprising that most fishermen are astonished by their truly remarkable optical performance. Further, since these lenses are made of polycarbonate, they have an extremely light weight and an impressive impact resistance. In fact, these mirrored lenses in the dark colour “Blue Mirror” are particularly great for bright situations – for instance for fishing saltwater flats or a stream in very bright sunlight!

All about Bajio's sustainably produced polarized sunglasses for fly fishers on adh-world.
„The Spanish word “Bajio” (pronounced “Bah-hee-oh”) describes all kinds of shallow water zones – for instance saltwater flats, gravel banks and the shore areas. These areas often function as “nurseries” where the young fish are born and raised. Therefore, they play an important role for the entire ecosystem. In favour of the environment, the brand Bajio Sunglasses is dedicated to the preservation and renaturation of these areas.“
On adh-world we explain how polarized sunglasses work and what to keep in mind when purchasing a new pair.
„Polarized sunglasses play an important role in fly fishing. They not just protect the eye from erred flies or streamers and dangerous uv-radiation, but also reduce glare from the surface and help you spotting fish and reading the water more effectively.“
The Brand Bajio Sunglasses offers a stylish collection of high-quality polarized sunglasses which are specifically designed for fishing. These glasses are among the best on the market due to their impressive optical performance. According to the slogan “see more, catch more” they allow a breathtaking view into the underwater world – both in fresh and saltwater.
