Electric’s Mudslinger Polarized Sunglasses
A pair of polarized sunglasses is one of the most important pieces of gear when fly fishing and an item most of us use while on a vehicle-based or outdoors adventure. When fly fishing, it’s absolutely imperative that you can see your fly, fly line and tippet on the water and eye protection is key for most nearly any outdoors activity. Polarized lenses will also let you see down into the water column and even see fish that you wouldn’t have seen with non-polarized lenses. Quality sunglasses will reduce glare on the surface of the water and allow you to closely watch your fly or strike indicator to ensure they are drifting correctly. You’ll also be able to detect subtle strikes that would otherwise go unnoticed.
Electric, an apparel and accessory company based out of Southern California, is producing some fantastic gear that aims at all aspects of outdoor adventure and recreation. Everything from sunglasses to adventure watches can be found on their website. I prefer a bronze colored lens for fishing and driving. I’ve used this pair on a number of fly fishing excursions and they are not only comfortable but look sharp and achieve all the things needed when fly fishing or doing anything outdoors. Plus, they’re handsome to wear around town, on an adventure bike, or navigating down a trail in your 4×4 vehicle.
The Electric Mudslinger with polarized lenses retail for $170.00 and are the perfect all-around adventure glasses. Check them out at www.electriccalifornia.com.
