Aviator glasses are made to offer maximum coverage and unhindered view all around - criteria that make for a good fly fishing lens too. The frame is made of durable stainless steel.

Blue Mirror Lenses:
The blue-mirrored lens tint is ideal for fishing on the open ocean when the sun is particularly strong. When it comes to spotting Bonefish, Permit, etc. on the Flats, before it’s too late, it is imperative to have the best polarized glasses. Blue Mirror lenses are some of the best for this. The biggest advantage of this tint is that contrasts are noticeably enhanced, making it easier for you not only to see the bright fish on the light ground but also to make structure easier to spot. In local fishing, this tint also excels on the coast for Sea Trout and at the lake for Pike and other predators. Overall, the blue-mirrored glasses are a bit darker, making them great for bright sunny days.
