Selected User Reviews For WindRider Polarized Floating Sunglasses for Fishing 100% UV Protection
Almost every day, I spend several hours on the board. These sunglasses appealed to me for a variety of reasons, one of which is that they float. They're still in excellent condition. The polarization is great because I can see the reef and the fish, and they're dark enough that I want to put them back on as soon as I take them off. I no longer have to worry about sunscreen on my lenses thanks to the coating. I purchased a second pair for my husband, and I would highly recommend them. Mahalo!.
To begin, I must state that I did not purchase these for use on the water. These were primarily purchased for use in the car. They are, in fact, fine. The one issue I have with them is that they darken everything while reducing contrast and clarity. The radio display in my car is black letters on a light auburn background. I can easily read the display without them on, but I can't read it at all when they're on. So these could be great for boating, as they are advertised. But I wouldn't recommend them if you want to use them while driving.
They float well and are easily visible in the water because they are white. When I first put them on, I was concerned that the white rims would be distracting, but after about ten minutes, I had forgotten about them. The bridge makes more contact with your nose than the nose pads, which isn't ideal on a hot day, but it's not a deal-breaker for me. My head's arms are a little too tight in the back. For reference, I'm wearing a 7 5/8 hat. I haven't noticed any difference from the vents yet, but that could be because they are working. They arrived in a nice zippered case with microfiber lens cloths, which was a pleasant surprise. They aren't too dark in the shadows, which is exactly what I wanted. The trade-off is that they are a little bright in direct sunlight. I took them off to see the difference, and it was clear that they helped a lot more than I had anticipated, but they are brighter than regular dark sunglasses. Overall, I'm pleased with the purchase and believe the price was fair. These were the first two pairs I came across that met all of my criteria: Wrap-around and reflective UV blocking, polarized, and floating all around.
This was a little snug for someone with a larger face, but it was still comfortable. The view was incredible through the green polarized lenses. Although the colors would have been better if they were a little darker, they were bright and amazing to wear. I had no fogging issues with the lenses, and they didn't let in any noticeable light while I was wearing them. Several of my dive buddies have tried them out and intend to purchase them. br>As a diver, I am extremely satisfied with the product and would purchase it again. They worked wonders while on the beach in Florida as someone who is sensitive to sunlight.
They float, which I really like. So that's my comparison. I traded in my 20-year-old Oakleys for a pair of these. I wanted floating sunglasses, so that was the main reason. The nose piece is made of a rubbery substance that makes my nose feel sticky. Although I prefer plain plastic, I believe I'm growing accustomed to the rubbery sensation. They fit well, but the sides of my head are a little tight. This design, I assume, is to keep them from blowing away in the wind. The blue lenses produce a "yellowish" view through the lens, with some things even having a rainbow effect; it takes some getting used to, but it's actually quite cool, especially when looking at storm clouds. Overall, these are good sunglasses at a reasonable price.
There is a gap between the lenses and the frame. The frame appears to be smaller than the lens. I really like the shades, but I'm not a fan of the gap. It's also worth noting that the gaps are visible in the featured images.
Following the loss of my Oakley sunglasses on my boat (I lost my Oakley sunglasses about 8 years ago), 10 times the amount of time spent on outdoor activities. Oakley claims it's for performance, but their gear flies off your head or sinks in the water in a gust of wind. br>br>These were a pleasant surprise, and the polarization is identical to Maui Jim's. On a cruise, I wore these and they stayed on my head despite the strong winds. I like how they fog us less, because wearing a mask with glasses, even with fog spray, is extremely difficult with Covid. br>br>Excellent glasses that won't set you back $150 to replace if something goes wrong with them.
These were purchased as a present for Father's Day in 2020. It appeared to be fantastic - good fit- They did, after all, float. However, after about a week of daily use, the lenses become impossible to see out of. There was no chemical exposure and only lens cloths were used. We contacted the seller to inform / request advice if a defect had been reported, but received no response. Based on this, I would not recommend purchasing the copper/inshore glasses because the film on the lenses became distorted/even flaky with the best of handling and there was no response from customer service.
