Nauticalia

Proper polarised sunglasses don't just protect your eyes from the harmful effects of UV light: they enhance your vision in difficult, bright light conditions such as those found at sea and on the ski slopes. We tried several makes, and found these, from Australia - where sun and sport are a way of life - particularly effective.

They are specifically designed to filter out scattered blue light, offering dramatic improvements in depth perception and contrast, and we could hardly believe the difference when looking into the murky waters of the Thames. Previously invisible fish almost leapt from the depths! Both pairs have excellent quality, multi-coated polycarbonate lenses mounted in good-looking, frames.

Bronze tinted polarised polycarbonate lenses - excellent for boating, skiing, fishing (particularly when the bottom is weedy) and driving.

Smoke tinted polarised polycarbonate lenses - are ideal for everyday use and give the wearer good natural colours. Ideal for deep water fishing and enhancing dark coloured fish.
