Tri-Spectrums glass-lens polarized sunglasses transmit more light for greater definition and visibility, particularly at the edges of objects. This greater contrast improves your ability to distinguish fish from other objects underwater. The anti-reflective coating blocks 95% of reflected light and the special, exclusive SmudgeBlock™ resists water, dust, and smudges and cleans easily. Italy

Best glasses for sight fishing I have worn,
April 3, 2008
By:
tarheeltroutfrom North Carolina
"I was a bit of a skeptic when I purchased these in rose lens color for sight fishing for trout, but I figured with Orvis's guarantee, I could not go wrong. Now these are certainly heavier than polycarbonate lenses, but that is to be expected if you want the clarity of glass. My first experience wearing these on the water was on swollen, "blown-out" water. Despite the turbid conditions, I was able to see far deeper into the water than with other name-brand, rather expensive, polarized sunglasses, to the point of being able to see bottom structure several feet down. I was shocked by the difference. Moreover, I was also able to see more surface detail of the water, which I thought was counterintuitive considering the improved detail and depth perception underneath."

"I bought into the marketing on the tri-spectrums and got the ones with amber lenses for freestone streams. They are great fishing glasses, but comparing them side-by-side to my Smiths I really can't tell enough of a difference to justify the additional $75 that they cost. Also, the frames hold so tightly to my head that I get a headache after about 4 hours in them."

The Best!,

"I've owned numerous highline polarized glasses over the years but these Tri-Spectrum lenses top them all. I immediately noticed the added clarity and depth perception--to the point that I kept removing them and putting them back on to compare. They visibly sharpen up the world around you. My wife has a pair of very good polarized glasses, and though she doesn't fish much, she has tried my glasses and could easily see the increased clarity compared to hers. The next thing is the ability to see fish and streambottom features, they are simply without peer in my experience. In New Zealand I actually spotted a couple fish before the guide (probably dumb luck to have looked in the right spot--but the glasses enabled me to clearly see the fish). The guide commented on my "sharp eyes" to quickly see the fish he spotted for me. I attribute much of it to the Tri-Spectrums. Pricey, but worth it. Highly recommended. BW"

Best Sunglasses Available,
November 28, 2008
By:

"Since I own sunglasses from every prominent manufacturer, I reluctantly purchased my Tri Spectrum glasses before Tarpon season 2008. In what was regarded as relatively unproductive year, I jumped 14 fish in 6 days. I saw fish much sooner with these glasses and had more time to set up and cast. The polarization is exceptional and the clarity of vision outsatnding. Absolutely the best sunglasses for the flats in both copper and brown. If you are a serious sight fisherman these are a must have."
