Lens Polarization
|
|
|
|
Glare is caused by concentrated light reflecting off surfaces like water,
roads, snow and ice. Glare reduces your ability to see clearly, and makes it nearly
impossible to see in the water.
Most of the light reflected as glare is horizontally polarized. Unlike ordinary
sunglasses, which admit just as much reflected light as desireable light, Hobie
Polarized Sunglasses filter out glare and transmit only the light you need, providing
increased visual clarity and reduced eyestrain. World champions rely on Hobie Polarized
to provide a competitive edge. That's the Hobie Polarized advantage!

Lens Technology
|
|
What does our lens technology offer that others don't? Color Balance.
Hobie's proprietary polarized film allows our eyes to transmit clear "color messages"
to our brain. These clear color messages give us the ability to see all colors vividly
and see slight differences in similar colors. Hobie's proprietary polarized film
allows the ideal amount of blue light to transmit for clear visual response of the
color blue and contrast sensitivity. We are able to enhance vision and visual acuity.
