Polarized Glasses
Polarized Glasses - Product Review
By: G. Wayne Byrd
In all my years as an angler, I have always had this problem regarding polarized glasses. My polarized glasses either fall off while racing across the water, slide down while fishing or cost so much that you can’t afford to have a few pair on the boat. I have been through many styles of sunglasses from ALL the major manufactures and have never been satisfied......Until Now! Folks, you must check this out!
While fishing with a buddy of mine several months back, he had a pair of polarized glasses by the name of FishGillz. Being I forgot mine that day, he offered to let me borrow his for our tournament. When I first put them on, I knew right away I was in love with these polarized glasses! These sunglasses did not fall off my face and they were so very light, it was as if I was not even wearing anything. I did a bit of research and found out some information about them and since that day, I will never wear anything else! Let me tell you a bit about these revolutionary polarized glasses so that you too can be well educated next time you are searching for a new pair of quality polarized glasses.
The Floating Frames Actually Float!
I have had many expensive polarized glasses get knocked off my face with a wave or fly off while cruising at high speeds across the water throughout my career. FishGillz polarized glasses actually float! You don’t need the strap that floats or any of the other gimmicks out there.....the polarized glasses really float! I have already had mine get knocked off in the water and what a relief it is to simply reach down and pick them up and put them back on! You see, the frames are ultra light, weighting in at less than 5/8 of an ounce. The company uses a very unique polymer blend that allows the floating sunglasses to weight very little while still providing great strength and flexibility. These floating sunglasses even wrap around your face to give you the ultimate protection from the elements as well as the harmful rays that are produced by the sun.
Micro-Filter Lenses
FishGillz have patented their “Micro-Filter Lenses”. These floating sunglasses are made by the 3M Company and they are actually a multi-layer, high quality lense that are distortion free and provide unsurpassed optical clarity. This is important to me because when I am fishing a tournament and money is on the line, I don’t need to have to deal with the glare off the water when I am trying to land that money winning lunker! For me, polarized glasses are a must for the water to be glare-free and I need to see everything possible in the water as well.
Polarized/UV Protection
With the Micro-Filter lense technology, FishGillz polarized glasses have a very unique process to ensure that all of the surface glare and intense bright light are completely filtered out. You see, polarized glasses actually reduced the visible glare from the water and increase visual acuity decrease eye strain. FishGillz floating sunglasses actually places a polarized micro-filter within the lense which will completely filter out the surface glare and intense bright light! This process allows you...the angler to actually see into the water and know what your fish are doing down there.
Folks, these are the most amazing polarized glasses I have personally ever seen! You can go right to the website at www.FishGillz.com and order yours today and tell them G. Wayne sent you! These fine people will even give you a one year, no questions ask warranty on their products. This is unheard of in today’s fishing market. Until next time.....Keep a tight line and happy fishin’!

How You Can Decide Whether You Should You Really Spend That Much on Polarized glasses
By : Gregg Hall
Do you ever reach for your polarized glasses before you move from your darkened house to the bright, clear day outside? Only on the day you have to purchase a new pair of polarized sunglasses do you think about exactly what you want perched atop your nose. You think about the technical and aesthetic differences. And then as you near the polarized glasses store, you wonder if the $200 Serengeti pair really work better than the $10 pair you just tried on at the flea market.
Let us take the mystery out of polarized glasses and help you look for what you want. We'll consider styles as well as what technology has done to improve lens composition. We'll also examine how light works and show you why light can actually make the polarized glasses essential. The complexity and sophistication of a simple pair of dark polarized sunglasses may well amaze you.
How do you pick your polarized glasses?
Do you choose based on price, style, color, or name brand? The two pieces of tinted glass or plastic set in a plastic or metal frame might seem like a simple design at first, but scientists have found a way to manipulate these two pieces of glass or plastic to literally effect the user's eyesight once he slides them on. Differences between polarized glasses really do exist.
What your polarized glasses can do for You
Polarized glasses should protect your eyes from ultraviolet rays in sunlight. Ultraviolet, or UV, light damages the cornea and retina. A great pair of polarized glasses will eradicate the UV rays. Your glasses do not have to be ugly to provide great UV protection, most companies already include this as part of their sunglasses, even the inexpensive brands.
Polarized glasses protect your eyes from intense light. Naturally a person's iris closes when the eye receives too much light. After the eye has closed the iris as far as possible, the eyelids will instinctively squint to prevent too much light from entering the eye. If squinting does not deter the light enough, like when sunlight reflects off the snow, the excess light will damage the retina. A great pair of polarized glasses will block light entering the eyes as much as 97 percent and thus help the user avoid permanent retina damage.
Polarized sunglasses protect eyes from glare. Reflective surfaces, like water, can reflect intense amounts of light, and bright spots will camouflage or hide objects. Good polarized glasses will eliminate the glare with the use of polarization, which you can read about later in this article.
Polarized glasses get rid of specific frequencies of light. Some frequencies of light will blur vision while others will enhance contrast. The right color of polarized glasses will actually affect the frequencies and allow them to work better in a given situation.
The next time you consider buying a cheap pair of polarized glasses, think about the entire purpose for them. You can actually damage your eyes with your tightwad tendencies. Sure, the cheap sunglasses will save you money, but in the end, you risk your eyesight.
Quality sunglasses that refuse to sink.
Fishgillz™ are tough on the sun and easy on the wallet!
