Smith Passage Polarized Sunglasses Review - Great Fishing Sunglasses
As a career fly fishing guide focused on trout, my eyes are my life. I not only need to keep my most valuable business assets comfortable and protected, I also need to be able to see what is going on below the surface of the water. Many of the places that I fish are extremely challenging, so I must always position myself where I can see the fish. Then, I tell my client where to cast. There is no denying the fact that if I lost my sight, I would be out of work, so I do all I can to take care of my over-utilized eyes.
Since I've been at the guiding profession for quite some time, I am pretty well locked into the brands of products that I like, but I still try to keep an open mine. When a fellow guide told me about this polarized glasses company called Smith, I didn't really give it a second thought - although I was intrigued by what he said about the lenses changing tint based on light conditions. Still, I had my old trusty pair...At least for the moment.
A few weeks after hearing about Smith, I somehow managed to drop my sunglasses and crush them in one fair swoop. That's life and I immediately remembered what my buddy had told me. I ended up ordering the Passage model and I will be forever grateful for finding Smith sunglasses.
Smith Passage
The first thing that I noticed when I put on my Smith Passage sun glasses was how comfortable the frames are, and I really love glass lenses for true clarity. I chose Photochromic Copper for my lens color because this hue offers the best results for most of the guide situations I encounter. It was a relief to realize that this product would work for my purposes, but I was eager to see how they functioned in the "real world" of spooky trout.
When I got to the water it was getting dark, but I still had a few hours. I can't believe how much of a difference the tint-changing lens makes. Fish were revealing themselves in ways I never thought possible, so my clients are going to enjoy some productive times ahead. $159 may seem steep for polarized sunglasses, but the Smith Passage sunglasses are worth the expense. Serious anglers recognize that sunglasses are an essential tool that should never be skimped on. It is great to see a truly innovative product actually help me and my customers catch more fish.
A great place to buy the sunglasses online is Riverbum.com. The site gives you free shipping.
