Are Your Sailing Sunglasses Protecting You From The Dangers of UV? Here’s What You Need To Know

When your out boating one of the primary concerns is UV damage.

There are several benefits of sailing sunglasses that you need to know:

  • They protect your eyes from UV glare
  • They are often polarized to reflect glare
  • The sailing industry leads the field in this technology
  • Made from hard wearing, resistant materials, that are specific to the environment

Here's Why:

They allow the wearer clearer vision, whilst shielding the eyes from glare off the water.

The polarizers offer a filter from the UV waves which are reflected off the water.

The materials used are important. Durable polycarbonate is used, adding strength where and when it’s needed.

Caring for your sunnies:

Caring for your sunnies is important. Use the container provided when not wearing them. It is designed to protect. Don't stuff them in to a pocket as grit and grime may scratch the surfaces - which will be obvious each time you wear them afterwards.

Also you need to clean off sweat and dust which accumulates on the lenses. This ensures you can see clearly when you put them on. The longer sweat and grime stays on the lenses - the more difficult it is to remove.

That’s the science covered, now for the good news.

It’s easy to select the pair you want. Just scroll down the page to West Marine’s product range. They can provide you with the right style to suit you and your boating.
