What to Look for in Fishing Sunglasses
When selecting the best fishing sunglasses for small faces, our opticians paid special attention to the following key criteria: coverage, fit, and sizing. Let's break down each of these elements below.
Generous Coverage
For long days under the sun, protect yourself from all angles with sunglasses that provide generous coverage. This comes in many forms, whether it's an 8-base wrap, oversized lenses, or thick temples to block peripheral sun rays. All of the frames below have one, or some combination of these features, so you're protected from harsh UV rays.
Secure Fit
If the boat is rocking, you're breaking a sweat, or you get an unexpected splash, the first thing to slip could be your sunglasses. Prevent a falling frame or distraction with fishing sunglasses that have rubberized grip. Strategically placed at the nose pads or temple tips, this grip will help the frame stay in place when you need it most.
SportRx Frame Width
To help you find your perfect sunglasses size, we’ve come up with a new way to reliably measure frames and determine your size. It’s called the SportRx Frame Width (SFW).
To break it down, we use our SFW to measure accurate frame dimensions, determine the fit of a frame, and show how to apply your SFW when buying sunglasses online. It’s taken time to perfect, and we couldn’t be more confident in the results! That's why you'll find an SFW measurement for every one of the frames in our lineup of the best fishing sunglasses for small faces!
