Holidays, beach, travel, and countless ways to enjoy this season. Water sports enthusiasts take advantage of their time practicing what they love most. During these summer months, increasing protection not only for the skin but also for the eyes is essential. Let's look at the most recommended sunglasses for water sports and the best-selling models.
Features of sunglasses for water sports:
1: 100% UV protection.
This is an essential requirement for any sunglass lens, for any type of sport, and especially for those with high sun exposure.
This treatment is not fundamental or absolutely necessary, but the truth is that most athletes prefer it. It offers a clearer view of colors and protects against sun rays reflected from surfaces. Depending on the sport you practice, find out the degree of polarization you need.
3: Durable frame.
The quality of the lens is key, but for sports, we must also pay attention to the quality of the frame. It should be durable, comfortable, and have a good fit. We must consider the movements involved in the activity to choose between a full closure or regular temples.
4: Treatments.
Anti-reflective treatment is the most common and frequent, but there are others perfect for sports glasses such as specific coatings, anti-scratch, mirror finish…
In which water sports should I use appropriate sunglasses?
In surfing, sailing, bodyboarding, canoeing, kayaking, windsurfing, recreational or competitive boating… sun exposure is very high. Splashes, saltwater, constant changes in light, high temperatures, extreme reflections… are elements that harm our visual health.
For underwater sports like swimming or diving, there are also specific glasses with treatments and features suited to each situation.
