Superlight Series

Superlight Series

Polarized fishing sunglasses with polycarbonate lenses, rock-solid frames, and a price that's hard to beat. More than just a new style, they're an innovation in polarization. Pre-tinted polarized film is sandwiched between two layers of the polycarbonate lens material which are then bonded together resulting in a lens with excellent optical quality and no distortion. Grilamid TR 90 nylon frames are lightweight, super strong, and hold their shape in extreme temperatures. Polarized fishing sungless lenses offer UV protection and scratch resistance. Thermal-formed polycarbonate lenses. Lens color in brown, gray. Italy.

Great value, September 7, 2009

"I initially purchased a pair of SA wraps, tortoise frame/brown lenses, for saltwater fishing and they have performed well on the water. I started wearing them when I play golf and I think the polarization helps me read the greens better. I putt better with these SA wraps!"

Very comfortable, June 29, 2009
By: NoBrakes from Dallas, TX

"Just purchased a pair of the Superlight SA wrap and really like them. Purchased them expressly for sailing in the Texas sun. Wore them 2 weeks ago and soon after I forgot I had them on as they were comfortable and lightweight.
Still able to see LCD screens well and do a good job differentiating colors and objects on shore and water, do not wash everything out like other lenses.
A plus that I found out this weekend is that they float. I jumped of the boat for a swim and forgot I had them on so they popped off my head. Even though the chum retainer came undone, they were still floating horizontally."

Superb quality, October 16, 2008
By: Maccam from Boston

"Superb fit and finish. Quality product all around. Paid $30.00 @ the Boston Orvis. My only regret is that I didn't buy a couple for pairs..................... Even at $50.00 these glasses are worth the money. Boston customer service was outstanding."

Great price; great sunglasses, August 7, 2008
By: OrvisWebGuy from Manchester, Vermont

"As a private pilot I don’t wear polarized lenses. But I was invited to fish out in Wyoming this summer and figured I should pick up a pair, so I asked the Orvis Rod and Tackle development team which glasses would be the best fit for me. Their immediate recommendation was the Orvis Superlight glasses. They told me the polarization technology used in these lenses allows for truer light transition, and that most optics three times the price aren’t as good.

When I received the glasses I was amazed at the quality. The glasses come with a carrying cloth that doubles as a lens cleaner, they are lightweight and comfortable on my face, they look terrific, and the performance vastly exceeded my expectations. I was really able to see the structure of the river and spot fish. I know that the folks over in development are coming up with better and better technology to push the envelope for the hardcore fly fishers. But as someone who wanted a fantastic pair of glasses and an even better value, I couldn’t be more pleased."
