Care:

To take the best care of your fly fishing sunglasses, follow these tips:

• Clean Regularly: Use a microfiber cloth and lens cleaner to remove water spots, smudges, or dirt. Avoid using clothing or paper towels, as they can scratch the lenses.
• Rinse After Use: After fishing, rinse your sunglasses with fresh water to remove salt, dirt, or debris. Pat them dry with a soft cloth.
• Store Properly: Keep your sunglasses in a protective hard case when not in use to prevent scratches or damage.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not expose the lenses to bug spray, sunscreen, or household cleaners, as these can degrade lens coatings.
• Use a Retainer Strap: Attach a retainer strap to prevent dropping your sunglasses in the water while fishing.
• Inspect Often: Check for loose screws or wear on hinges and get them repaired if needed to ensure longevity.
• Proper care will keep your sunglasses performing well and protect your eyes during fishing adventures.
