Heron Ocean Polarized Sunglasses from VALLON: Maximum Eye Protection at Sea
When venturing out to sea safeguarding your eyes from dangerous UV rays and glare is paramount. Our favorite sunglasses for long days out in the summer sun? Meet VALLON’s ‘Heron Ocean’ side shield polarized sunglasses - a unique design that offers maximum protection and comfort in all maritime environments.
Polarization for Glare Reduction
Ask any fisherman on fresh or saltwater, polarized lenses are an essential game changer. The Heron Ocean are made with Cat. 3 polycarbonate lenses with a polarization filter. They cut glare, block reflected light, and help you see clearly below the surface of the water. Clear vision, minimum distortion, and maximum retina protection? I’ll take ‘em.
Hydro-oleophobic and Anti-fog Coatings
The devil’s in the detail when it comes to best-in-class eyewear. VALLON’s Heron Ocean sunglasses feature anti-fog, hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings. These help to do the following:
Reduce steam build up on the inside of the lenses on warmer/sweatier days
Repel water, mist and sea spray on the surface of the lens
Repel oils that can be a right nuisance to wipe off your lenses!
Side Shields for Peripheral Coverage
Side shield sunglasses are much more classically seen in alpine environments, but why not put this style to use on the water? We think it’s a great idea and anecdotally, I find the extra shadow protection the Heron Ocean’s leather side shields provided around my eyes really helped enhance my vision (and prevent that day-long squint). For some, it might take a while to get used to the reduced peripheral vision but for me it really helped hone my vision and immerse myself in the activity at hand.
Maximum UV Protection
It’s a no-brainer, but when it comes to protecting your eyes out on the water, 100% UV protection (e.g. UV400 rating) is essential to ensure you don’t damage your eyes in the long-run. Prolonged exposure to damaging UV rays can lead to serious eye conditions, such as cataracts, macular degeneration, and photokeratitis. When it comes to UV protection, you can trust VALLON’s lenses and side shield combo.
Enhanced Durability and Comfort
I asked the team at VALLON why they chose genuine leather over other alternatives, and the answer was enhanced durability. The genuine leather takes a while to soften, but lasts much better than manmade materials when exposed to harsh elements such as sun, water, snow, and sand!
For anyone heading out to sea, investing in a pair of VALLON’s Heron Ocean side shield polarized sunglasses is a wise decision. They provide unparalleled protection against glare and UV rays, offer comprehensive coverage with side shields, and ensure durability and comfort. With these sunglasses, you can focus on enjoying your maritime adventure with the confidence that your eyes are well-protected.
