Shimano Curado Sunglasses

Shimano Curado Sunglasses

The sun can be a devious thing. Even on the most cloudy of days can cause us to stand on the bank squinting and yet, when we put on our trusted sunglasses, we’re left completely in the dark – almost literally!

This is where Shimano steps in. Its Curado Sunglasses have been especially designed for this ‘bright but cloudy’ weather that we experience a lot of in the UK. With amber lenses these sunglasses are absolutely ideal for low light angling conditions and are perfect for when you’re still having to squint to see through the glare off the water but the sun isn’t out in full force.

These amber lenses still have all the polarised qualities of traditional brown or grey lenses. This means that, when it comes to their ability to see through the glare from the water, they function in exactly the same way as traditional polarised lenses. In this way they simultaneously brighten and dim – reducing the glare from the water but ensuring it is still bright enough for you to see clearly. These are the same style lenses that are recommended for heavy computer users, thanks to their unique ability to allow the eyes to relax and view without squinting whilst still ensuring that you can make out detail clearly. This is perfect for the angler who needs to be able to spot the delicate movement of dark shapes under murky water.

As with all Shimano sunglasses these Curado Sunglasses offer complete UV protection. Ultra-Violet light is invisible to the naked eye but can have devastating effects on your health and vision. Spilt into two categories (A and B) UV rays are the rays that cause surface burns to the skin as well as deeper cell mutation. For those of us with sensitive skin that practically burns within minutes applying sun-cream is a second nature. Yet, for many, putting on a pair of UV protective sunglasses is an afterthought. If the sun can do server damage to our skin it goes to follow that it can do exactly the same to our delicate eyes – with the potential of devastating effects for our vision. Sunglasses are as vital on the bank as your rod, reel, and bait, and these Curado Sunglasses are perfect every eventuality.
