Every serious boater has a list of absolutely necessary things required on our boat. You might think of lifejackets, fire extinguishers, sufficient water and refreshments for all guests on board, rain gear, etc.
But one of the items I try never to forget is a good pair of quality sunglasses. Who among us has not spent a whole sunny day on the water and come home with sore eyes or even a headache because we forgot our sunglasses?
I bought my first pair of Serengeti sunglasses when I was 18 years old… That pair of Serengeti glasses protected my eyes for 10 years until they were lost at a beach resort in Mexico…
Many years have gone by since then, and I wanted to see what improvements have been integrated into the world of sunglasses, so I recently picked up two new models designed by Serengeti—the Delio and the Lenwood, both designed for eye protection in high-glare environments.
Talk about a sleek modern look! The high-tech frames are manufactured in Italy, with both models constructed from rich Italian cellulose propionate acetate, which is known for its ability to withstand extreme conditions, making it perfect for watersports. It won’t warp or bend under the intense heat or cold, and it resists corrosion, even after prolonged exposure to saltwater.
Serengeti’s standout feature for both models is its Serengeti 555 nm lens technology. This proprietary lens technology is engineered to optimize contrast and reduce surface glare, making it ideal for high-glare situations that are common when you’re out on the water. Reefs look clearer, fish look bigger… or so we like to think!
The lenses are made from NXT™ material, which is a high-performance polymer that offers exceptional optical clarity, impact resistance, and lightweight comfort. Another key benefit of the NXT lenses is that they are also highly durable and photochromic lenses, which automatically adjust to changing light conditions. This is a major plus for boating, where you may transition from bright sunlight to shaded areas or even low-light conditions in a matter of moments. They also offer 100% UVA/UVB protection.
Ultimately, the choice is up to you, as both models excel in providing the eye protection necessary for all-day boating and watersports, with the Lenwood frame design coming in a tad larger on the face, at 43.5 mm. If you are concerned about protecting your vision while enjoying your favourite water activities, you can trust Serengeti to deliver the optical technology and durability required for an exceptional experience on the water.
