Gear Review: Bajio Greenland

WHAT IS IT?

Bajio Greenland Sunglasses

WHAT SETS IT APART?

Bajio ensures a dependable grip with ergo rubber temple tips and vented nose pads, and enhances comfort with the dual flex hinges. The design also includes vented side shields and a sun ledge for glare reduction, while keeper holes at the tips of the arms facilitate cord connection. Offered in three frame colors with 14 lens options, the Greenland frames are available in glass and polycarbonate lenses. Made with patent-pending Lapis Technology, these lenses block 95% of bad blue light, 90% of harsh yellow light and 100% of UV light.

HOW DO I USE IT?

You won’t find any black bass in Greenland’s Kangia River, but this renowned salmon fishery often presents the kind of harsh conditions that’ll test anglers and their equipment. Suffice to say, sunglasses that perform well there probably have what it takes to serve those pursuing North America’s largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass. That’s the story behind Bajio’s new Greenland frame style — a large fit, full-wrap design offering a goggle-like face grip that locks out the cold and moisture.

ANGLER’S INSIGHT:

How many times have we seen anglers pull away from the tournament takeoff with ski goggles guarding their eyes for the morning’s chilly run? Bajio’s Greenland frames offer a lighter, more compact version of this protection, with the benefit of moving directly into fishing mode once the run is done. There’s also a clear sight-fishing application, as this design isolates the eyes from glare. Maximizing comfort, while minimizing the intrusions that negatively impact vision, these frames bring a lot of benefit to the bass fishing market.
