The summer season has finally arrived and while everyone is eager to get out on the water to escape the heat, it’s important to be equipped with the best pair of sunglasses for memorable summer experiences. It’s common knowledge that Typhoon is one of the leading sunglass brands to be worn by water enthusiasts. The following list outlines the top 5 best possible sunglass types that you can purchase from Typhoon:
1. The Aloha: This Typhoon style is a current favorite amongst anglers. It features defined, rectangular frames, thick arms and is known to work well in both cloudy and sunny conditions. Most Typhoon wearers prefer the Aloha style with polarized, meridian blue lenses. These have a 10% light transmission, protecting fishermen’s eyes from UV rays and glares while on the water.
2. The Schooner: With bold, grip-like arms and a smooth, rounded border, the Schooner is one of Typhoon’s top sellers. The rubber temples of this particular style allow the glasses to stay snugly on anglers’ faces, despite water and sweat. Based on the website’s review page, Typhoon patrons agree that the Schooner offers comfort and lightweight durability.
3. The Tropic Storm: This sleek style is one of Scott Canterbury’s favorites. Scott, angler and Typhoon patron, has been wearing his Tropic Storm glasses (with Meridian Blue lenses) for over 3 years. “I wear them whether I’m fishing, hunting, or driving down the road,” says Canterbury of his sunglasses.
4. The Mariner: According to a Typhoon employee, “Most anglers choose a frame with broad temples to block peripheral light.” This being said, the Mariner will block minimal light with its thin arms and frameless lenses. However, this style is light and comfy, and like all Typhoon glasses, it can come equipped with polarized lenses. These lenses break through the top surface layer of water, allowing anglers to get a better view of its contents. With better polarization, the deeper you see.
5. The Harbor: Last but certainly not least, the Harbor: this pair of Typhoon glasses has been under much discussion, with its light, thin frames and bended arms. Fishing League Worldwide (FLW) host Jason Harper teamed up to talk to fellow Typhoon expert Scott Canterbury at a recent International Convention of Allied Sportfishing Trades (ICAST) event. Here, they discussed the latest Typhoon styles including the Harbor, which can be found in a new Moss Green lens. “We came out with a green lens,” says Canterbury. “Everybody wanted a green lens.”
Whether you’ll be fishing, sailing, or kayaking this summer, Typhoon sunglasses are an absolute must to wear for various water activities.
