Shopping Bag
Wind in your hair, sun overhead, seagulls squawking away while you’re out on the water. Sounds like an idyllic boating day, right? Almost. There’s just one thing missing: the perfect pair of sunglasses to complete your look and bat away those pesky sun rays from your eyes. That’s like wearing boat shoes without ever leaving the dock, or throwing a yacht party with no shrimp cocktails. (Carl the Flamingo would be so disappointed.) Thankfully, goodr has you covered, with several boating sunglasses options to choose from before you cast off to your next adventure.
You should always try to protect yourself from the sun, but when you’re out on the water, intense glare and reflection increase, shooting harmful rays directly into your eyes. You risk tons of UV light exposure and accompanying eye strain during long boating days. While you might not feel it in the moment, you’ll definitely feel it the next day. That’s why getting the proper pair of boating sunglasses is so important.
To lower your exposure to UV rays and damage, you’ll need the proper lenses, fitted for all your water escapades. Polarized lenses minimize the amount of exposure hitting your eyes, allowing for clear, uninterrupted vision. Coming in handy when you’re out on the water and need to be especially vigilant for conditions, polarized lenses provide coverage and protection so the sun won’t compromise your safety while boating. Pair that with UV400 protection and you’ve got the optical equivalent of champagne and oysters. This combo lets the normies know you’re not just a seasoned skipper, but a full-blown captain of ultimate eye protection.
When you’re looking for the best sunglasses to accompany you on all short and long trips, it’s important to have these features in mind:
Polarized lenses: These lenses help reduce sun glare and enhance visual contrast so that you don’t miss a single thing around you.
No-slip, no-bounce frames: Boating is one of the most active water sports, so best to have a pair of shades that can stay firmly on during any planned or unplanned movement on deck. The last thing you want is your sunglasses to go overboard..
Lightweight, floatable designs: Lightweight material won’t weigh like a ship’s anchor. These types of frames offer a more comfortable fit, too!!! Bonus points and extra cocktail shrimps for you if your sunnies float. Some sunglasses are made with buoyant materials, so you can skip the dramatic slow-mo dive overboard to save your shades.
Durable materials: You need sunnies that can stand up against sunlight, saltwater, and spray. Don’t want to go looking for a new pair of peepers every other boat trip, so get sailing sunglasses that are built-to-last like those sunburn memories you’ll never forget.
Yeah, those features we just mentioned–we’ve got ‘em here! We’ve got plenty of boating sunglasses to offer because we know not all boaters are alike. goodr polarized sunglasses blend style, performance, and personality to fit those landlubbers-in-training or admirals of the sea.
