Don’t Waste Money on Flawed Sunglasses

Think about it:

Even in sunny Australia, light conditions change during the day.

Let alone in places like the UK, where the weather is often unpredictable.

Unfortunately…

Traditional lens colors are dumb:

  • Yellow, amber, and rose make you squint as soon as the sun comes out…
  • Copper, brown, and gray are too dark in low light (dawn, dusk, under clouds).

In other words:

You could easily spend $100, $150, or $200 on golf sunglasses… only to get frustrated every time a cloud comes by.

But now you can…

Fix the #1 lens flaw once and for all!

Want to know how it works?

Let me explain…

From Low light to Full Sunlight

The Only Golf Sunglasses for All Weather Conditions

Sanofan golf sunglasses with smart FluidTint lenses combine the two best lens colors for golfing with this trick:

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…


Exactly the right amount of light reaches your eyes at any given time.

Imagine this:

As the light changes during the day, your vision, and ability to track the ball always remain the same.

Enjoy perfect vision over the FULL range of sunlight. (Please wait a few seconds for the video to load.)

Endorsed by Our Most Demanding Customers!

Initially, most of our customers were avid fly fishers, and when it comes to sunglasses…

They demand the highest contrast and definition lenses to make fish stand out from the bottom.

Then, something interesting happened:

More and more customers started wearing their Sanofans on the golf course, too.


Now, color-changing sunglasses have become an insider tip among golfing enthusiasts.

    I'm not a fisherman, but the sun glasses are great for playing golf and driving. I give them a five-star rating.

    I have owned many polarized sun glasses in my life, and the Sanofan are by far the best I have ever had. They work as described, and you can't beat the price point, especially in comparison to glass I have paid four times as much for. I would highly recommend these glasses to any avid fisherman or golfer.

Why Sanofan Sunglasses are Polarized

Sanofan golf sunglasses are polarized to shield your eyes from the sun's harsh glare during golf practice swings.

In fact, our polarized lenses are as effective as Costa Del Mar's 580P lenses.

Does polarization reduce depth perception?

No, this is easily disproven as a myth.

For instance, on our reviews page titled "I Retired my Maui Jim's", you will find that…

Sanofans shine not just for golfing and fishing, but also for sports where precise depth perception is crucial, such as clay target shooting and hunting.

At the same time, your eyes are protected against glare fatigue.


Best of all, you are guaranteed to make the best choice because…

Our 6-month money-back guarantee covers you!

This means you can test your Sanofans for a full golf season before having to decide.

If you're not completely satisfied at any point during that time, simply contact us, and you'll get your money back the same day.

All You Need to Know, Quick and Honest

Will They Fit My Head?

Thanks to metal spring hinges, adjustable temple tips, and our special morph frame, every pair fits like a glove and never falls off, regardless of the size of your head:

Morph Frame

If you have a smaller face (like me) or prefer a more pronounced wraparound-style, you can adjust the FRAME easily in a few seconds, as shown in the following video.

You might need to apply some force, but don't worry: This highly flexible morph frame never breaks!

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.

Why Amber and Copper? Why Not Gray?

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.

What's worse:

As your pupils widen behind dark gray lenses, even more blue light than usual enters your eyes' retina.

In other words:

When wearing gray lenses, the problems blue light causes, like blurred vision and mild headaches, are likely to get worse.


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...

What About Mirror Coatings?

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.

Are They Good for Hunting (Boating, Golfing, etc.)?

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

Can I Use My Sanofans for Driving?

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

Why Don’t More Brands Offer Light-Adaptive Lenses?

My guess: It's because it would hurt their bottom line.

Instead of selling you just one pair that works all the time, it's much more lucrative to make you buy separate sunglasses for overcast and sunny days, lake fishing and stream fishing.

Now, you might ask:

"Why do you only sell color-changing 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.

Am I'm Protected Against Harmful UVA and UVB Rays?

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:

sanofan sunglasses pass ansi Z80 standard

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.
