The One Major Flaw All Lens Colors Have
Think about this for a moment:
Even in sunny Australia, light conditions on the water change during the day.
Let alone places like the UK, where the weather changes faster than any forecast.
Unfortunately, traditional color lenses completely fail to adapt to these situations:
In other words:
You could spend $150, $200, or $300 on a pair and still just have a "one-trick pony"—expensive fishing sunglasses that only work in either low light or sunlight.
Even worse:
More and more sunglasses brands cash in on this color limitation by making you buy a second or third pair — one for each light condition they can come up with.
But now you can save your money because…
Sanofan fishing sunglasses
fix this embarrassing lens color flaw once and for all, while boosting polarization at the same time.
Want to know how it works?
Let me explain…
From Low light to Full Sunglight
The Only Fishing Sunglasses for All Weather Conditions
Sanofan fishing sunglasses with smart FluidTint polarized lenses have the two most effective lens colors already backed in:
Each FluidTint lens contains millions of specialized particles that absorb energy from the sun to change color from amber to copper.
This is called a photochromic reaction, and as a result...
FluidTint lenses adapt automatically—on autopilot—depending on changing light conditions... so that you can focus on the fish.
Enjoy perfect vision over the FULL range of sunlight. (Please wait a few seconds for the video to load.)
Perfect Vision Over the Full Range of Sunlight
Your Secret Weapon on the Water
- 1The color change has allowed me to see into places in the water I didn’t know were there!
— Tom Stiers, USA - 2Once it became cloudy, my other glasses were virtually useless, but my Sanofans changed color and I could still see clearly through the water.
— Eric S., USA - 3The changing lenses are awesome and become dark enough for the brightest sun.
— Robert Hollister, USA - 4I could see my bait under water at 10 - 15 yards. Actually watched fish come up and take the bait.
— Phillip Fontana, USA - 5It's like the waters not even there, crystal clear to the bottom.
— Brian Burns, USA - 6I was able to see fish cruising around perfectly just before dark.

Why This Is Better Than Simple Polarization
You see, most anglers don't know this…
Polarization only makes fish visible, but high-contrast lenses allow them to stand out against the bottom.
In fact, amber and copper are the ONLY lens colors to sharpen contrast and boost polarization.
Amber
Copper
They do this by blocking high-energy blue light from entering your eyes.
This is a big deal…
Because our eyes cannot focus sharply on blue light. As a result, things appear less defined and even blurry.
But with amber and copper, everything around you instantly appears sharper, crisper, and with more definition.
Other lens colors (including gray) don't improve your vision at all, as they allow blue light to hit your eyes completely unfiltered.
The good folks at Orvis agree:
Light brown, copper, and amber all sharpen contrast by reducing blue light
— Choosing the Best Sunglasses for Sight Fishing
And of course, fly fishing legend, book author and podcast host Tom Rosenbauer, has known this for a long time:
Amber and copper lenses are my choice for sight fishing.
— The Ultimate Book of Fly Fishing, page 135
Sanofans with FluidTint technology give you the advantages of BOTH colors:
On a cloudy day, or when wading in the shade of a tree, your eyes enjoy a crisp amber color.
Once the sun comes out, these lenses magically get darker and smoothly turn into a pleasant, high-contrast copper color.

Love Your Sanofans or Pay Nothing!
Me in 1983 with my DIY fishing rod. For me, fishing is a path to my childhood memories.

All You Need to Know, Quick and Honest
Removing blue light is essential in enhancing contrast. This is because blue light tends to scatter in the eye, making it difficult to focus.
Only yellow, amber, and copper lenses can block blue light. In fact, this is what makes them special.
All other lens colors, including gray, let blue light rays hit your eyes completely unfiltered.
Even worse:
As your pupils widen behind dark gray lenses, much more blue light reaches your eyes' retina.
So why not yellow lenses?
Yellow lenses are good at increasing contrast, but terrible at removing glare from the water surface.
And here is why:
A good polarization filter makes a lens darker by default by removing all visible light rays of a specific angle.
Unfortunately, yellow lenses can't be made darker, or else they wouldn't appear yellow anymore.
So, in order to market them as "polarized", yellow lenses tend to come with a weaker form of polarization that is less dark but leaks reflective light.r text here...
First, in order to avoid confusion:
Mirror coatings in silver, blue, or green are not lens colors, but just a thin layer on top of the actual lens.
Their main purpose is to cut out even more sunlight, which makes them uncomfortable to wear in low-light situations like dawn, dusk, and on overcast days.
This is why we don't use them.
Also, if applied directly to the lens surface, those shiny metal coatings are naturally prone to scratches.
Thanks to metal spring hinges with a wide opening angle, as well adjustable temple tips, every pair fits like a glove and never falls off, regardless of the size of your head:
30 Degrees Spring Hinges
Spring hinges + adjustable node pads + adjustable temple tips
Adjustable Temple Tips
Watch this short video to see how to quickly adjust the temple tips:
Adjustable Nose Pads
And because of the adjustable nose pads, you don’t need to worry about the size of your nose, either.
I like how they sit away from your face just a bit, so they breathe and don't fog up like most sunglasses I wear do.

Sanofans are the perfect choice for all fishing activities like fly-fishing, carp fishing, and bass fishing.
But being able to maintain perfect vision in all weather conditions is crucial for many applications, such as boating, hunting, and golfing... and even clay pidgin shooting:
I have used them driving and hunting, and they have performed great.
-- James Dooley, USA
Really helps seeing wild life. Great for hunting and fishing
-- Zane Young, USA
I would highly recommend these glasses to any avid fisherman or golfer.
-- Neal Gilliam, USA
I'm not a fisherman, but the sun glasses are great for playing golf and driving.
-- Faye Bartley, USA
They do the job exceptionally well, [...] especially when i’m clay pigeon shooting
-- Is Dupoy, United Kingdom
Sanofans with FluidTint lenses work great for driving in daylight, where they sharpen contrast and remove reflections from the windshield.
Just note that inside a car, the color change won't be as apparent as outside.
This is because the windshield filters out part of the UV rays that are responsible for the darkening effect of the lens.
A word of warning:
Sanofans are not suitable for driving at night. For night driving, only glasses with yellow lenses should be used.
If you are ok with this limitation, you'll enjoy wearing your Sanofans in the car:
They are great fitting sunglasses, not just good for fishing but excellent for driving
-- Dwight McLeod, Canada
I ordered 2, so I could use a pair while driving and one for fishing
-- Eric S., USA
Loved them so much I bought a second pair for driving
-- Rodney Bond, USA
My guess: It's because it would hurt their bottom line.
Instead of you just selling you only one pair that works all the time, it's much more lucrative for them to make you buy different sunglasses for overcast and sunny days, lake fishing and stream fishing.
So, if they offer light-adaptive sunglasses, they are especially expensive.
Now, you might ask:
"Why do you only sell one kind of fishing sunglasses?"
The better our sunglasses, the more we sell through word of mouth marketing. So by making the only fishing sunglasses you'll ever need, everybody wins.
Sanofans with FluidTint lenses shield you from all UVA and UVB rays and pass US standard ANSI Z80.3:2018.
Here's the test result:
As you can see, Tmax UVB and Tmax UVA are both at 0.00%, which means FluidTint lenses blocks all rays of that light range.
Now, this is important:
Not all sunglasses that pass this standard fully protect your eyes.
Standard ANSI Z80.3:2018 allows up to 3.76% UVB and a whooping 30.10% UVA radiation to reach your eyes, while still being considered "UV protective".
So make sure to always ask for the actual test report before making a decision.
