Those clever people at Gill are introducing Shield sunglasses – the first floatable and polarized over-glasses for sailors who wear prescription glasses. Designed to be worn over prescription frames, Gill Shield sunglasses provide 100% protection against harmful UVA and UVB light. Polarized lenses give glare-free vision when out on the water - the lenses are scratch resistant, have an oleo-phobic surface to prevent fingerprints and smudges adhering to the lens and a Flash-Reflect treatment that reflects bright light away and helps to hide your prescription eyewear. The frames are made from lightweight Grilamid TR90 and include cushioned pads in areas where the glasses could come into contact with the spectacles. A snip at £35, especially as the additional buoyancy inserted in the frame allows the glasses to float should you drop them overboard. Which I do. Often. I've been wearing specs since I was seven - and these look the business to me.
For further information, please contact Gill directly at Manor House Road, Long Eaton, Nottingham, NG10 1LR, UK - give them a tinkle on +44 (0)115 946 0844 or drop them an email: enquiries@gilluk.com

Polarised sunglasses are especially useful when driving, fishing or on any occasion when reflective glare dazzles and distorts your view.
