What Are You Wearing?

For the trip I am wearing three different types of lenses in my glasses.

One of the benefits of working at a company that makes sunglass lenses, is I have learned what types of lenses lend themselves to different conditions. Most of us just have one set we wear all the time and I can tell you need all three of these colors at minimum.

Dark Grey - whether polarized or just tinted these lenses are great for super bright conditions like driving into the sun, at the beach, or out in the boat. Their main benefit is they block out a lot of light. If you need to block out more light then you need to put a bag on your head - and I have seen some of you guys and would recommend that you do - Ha!

Brown / Amber Polarized - these should be your go to color for everyday driving and fishing. They provided much more contrast than grey lenses and let you see the road, through water, and the world in much greater detail. I really like them when driving anytime I'm not being blasted directly in the face by the sun. For fishing, they are vastly better at spotting fish and scanning bottom structure on the flats, or in rivers than grey lenses.

Yellow with Anti-Reflective Coating - Wow! I recently got these and they are fantastic. Go to our website and order some right now www.fuselenses.com. OK you're back, the Yellow Tint (non polarized) are to be worn in the dark. YEP, not your clear lenses - Yellow!

Fantastic for night driving and fishing. Actually, when you have them on they look rather clear to people looking at you, so they are only minor in the "60's wow dude" look. Ok, Dave we know you like them, cut to it and tell us why.

Here we go, you are on a dark and rainy New Jersey road, like out of a Steven King novel,  and having a hard time seeing what is on the road before you. You are frustrated and remember that cool dude Dave talked you into getting some Yellow Tint Lenses with AR. You pull over and put them on.

Suddenly, it is like someone through the light switch and you can see like 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Your stress subsides and you are now on a carefree drive along A1A to the Keys with dreams of margaritas and smoked fish spread!

Think I am exaggerating a bit, nope they are that good. I don't ever wear clear lenses at night any more.

Keep trucking,
David
