Why Wear Sunglasses for Water Sports?

On the water, sunglasses do more than block the sun: they affect your vision, safety, stability and comfort. From UV protection to cutting glare off the water, the right water sports sunglasses keep your view clear and steady in any weather and on any water. The VIGHT water sports series combines lightweight designs, stable wraparound frames, a range of lens technologies and a corrosion-resistant coating.

Protection | Blocks UV, strong light, sea wind and spray, reducing discomfort and strain on your eyes from the sun and the water.

Vision | Cuts reflections and glare off the water, making your surroundings easier to read for a clearer, more confident view.

Stability | Wraparound frames with a stable, close fit stay snug as you move, with less bounce, slipping and risk of losing them.

Durability | The VIGHT water sports series has a corrosion-resistant coating that slows peeling caused by saltwater, extending the life of your lenses.

FAQs

Glare off the water is strong, so long sessions can leave your eyes dazzled and tired and affect your judgement. As we see it, sunglasses do more than block the sun: they help you keep a clear, steady view on the water.
A polarized lens cuts glare off the water, which you’ll especially notice for SUP, fishing and beach activities; during long sessions in strong sun, your eyes stay more comfortable and it’s easier to read changes on the water.
Long exposure to seawater, sweat and humidity can indeed speed up wear on the lens surface. For water sports fans, VIGHT offers corrosion-resistant lenses that are better suited to salty, humid conditions and reassuring for everyday use too.
If you move a lot, get splashed or sweat, choose a stable style with good wrap. Every VIGHT model comes with a glasses strap for extra peace of mind on the water; for SUP, surfing and other activities where you’re more likely to end up in the water, you can also add a floating strap.
If you mainly fish, do SUP, go boating or relax by the sea, start with a polarized, corrosion-resistant lens. It cuts glare off the water and copes better with sea wind, seawater and humidity: a very practical first choice.
