Sailing or yachting sunglasses are specifically designed to meet the unique needs of boaters. These special sport sunglasses must withstand the elements and provide clear vision on the water.
What sunglasses are good for sailing?
Good sunglasses for sailing and yachting alike should hold up against intense sunlight and corrosive salt water. They should be comfortable and allow you to move freely and react quickly to oncoming obstacles like moving objects or other boats.
Not only should they protect your eyes from the sun's harmful UV rays, quality sunglasses should enhance your vision to ensure optimal safety and comfort.
Why do sailors wear polarised sunglasses?
Sailors wear polarised sunglasses to combat uncomfortable and obstructive glare, improving visibility on the water. Polarised lenses also help you see below the water’s surface. This can help sailors and yachties navigate more freely and avoid hazards.
Many people choose mirrored or polarised lenses for boating activities where light and glare reduction are important.
What colour lenses should I wear sailing?
Different lens colours can affect your vision on the water. Depending on the conditions and personal preferences, a number of different colours are suitable for yachting and sailing:
- Blue lenses – Blue lenses or blue mirror lenses are best for full-sun conditions.
- Grey lenses – Grey is a universal colour that offers great sun protection and renders colours true to life.
- Yellow lenses – Yellow lenses are good for lowlight conditions such as boating at dawn or dusk. They are also useful for foggy conditions.
- Brown lenses – Brown lenses reduce glare and enhance contrast.
