The value of changeable lenses
As is with many things, variety is the spice of life. As humans we like to change it up. We rotate between outdoor shooting ranges and indoor ranges, our preferred weapon of choice, what game we like to hunt and whether to practice shooting clay pigeons or trap and skeet. We’re also susceptible to change we can’t control, such as the elements and lighting conditions. Regardless of the type of change, one thing is certain, having quality eyewear with multiple functions will always come in handy.
In order to have a successful hunt, coming prepared is of the upmost importance, this includes your gear. Whether you’re tracking a herd or bow-hunting from a tree stand, you must prepare for constantly changing lighting conditions. This is where changeable lenses hit the mark. The last thing you want to do when packing for a hunting trip is to sacrifice space, which is what carrying multiple pairs of eyewear would force you to do. Instead, find a pair of sunglasses with changeable lenses to alleviate the issue.
Optimize your hunting experience with colored lenses
- Smoke gray lenses are ideal for blocking out that early morning, bright sun, allowing for a better view of the horizon. You can see colors more naturally and reduce glare in all types of bright light, helping identify your target in varied backgrounds.
- Yellow-based lenses are perfect for heavily forested and vegetated areas with low-light where you want to enhance your target.
- Rust lenses are also great for sporting clay, trap and skeet shooting and sport shooting with low or artificial light.
- Clear lenses protect they eyes from UV rays while allowing in the most light, making them ideal for early morning and evening outings. In addition, selecting clear lenses offers shooters less glare and a natural view when shooting in an indoor range.
Some sunglass manufacturers offer colored lens options with different benefits than the above mentioned.
- Brown lenses work well in low-light conditions and enhance contrast.
- Orange lenses work well in dim to insufficient light conditions.
- Purple lenses filter out the green backdrop in heavily shrubbed areas allowing for more accuracy.
Your ideal pair of sunglasses with changeable eyewear will be protective, offer remarkable visual clarity and durability for whatever the great wild may throw at you.
