Sunglasses are a must-have for a sunny day on the water, and the fact that the latest Bajio styles are available in prescription lenses makes them even better. The new Hopedale frames are excellent for angling, boating, or just everyday outdoor activities. With a hidden sun blocking Sun Ledge, double barrel hinges, and recessed nose pads for extra comfort, these are quality sunglasses that are going to last a long time. I love the medium-wrap fit that blocks bright light from the sides, and that my eyes don’t feel tired after a long day in the sun.

The blue mirror lenses let the world show up in natural colors while blocking most UV rays as well as blue light, and have only 12 percent of visible light transmission (VLT), making them best for the brightest light conditions. Crucial for spending time on the water, all Bajio’s lenses are polarized, which cuts glare, minimizes distractions, and offers the greatest contrast and clarity.

Polycarbonate lenses start at $209 and are lighter and more impact-resistant than glass, though that option is available, too. Committed to being environmentally friendly, Bajio uses recyclable packaging, bio-based frames, and cases made from plant-based cactus leather.
