Bajio Vega Reader Polarized Sunglasses — High-Coverage Sight Fishing With Built-In Magnification
The Bajio Vega is named for Alejandro "Sandflea" Vega Cruz, the grandfather of fly fishing on the Yucatan's Isla Holbox. It is a frame built for serious sight fishing: the large frame can help you spot giant tarpon rolling in all day without weighing you down, thanks to strong yet lightweight bio-based frames.
As a reader, the Vega adds built-in magnification, so you can tie on a fly or thread tippet without swapping to a separate pair of glasses. The frame offers a bold, squared, high-coverage 8-base wrap design with wide temples that block sidelight and protect your eyes from the sun, putting you in a veritable cocoon so you can focus on the water.
The lenses are where Bajio earns its reputation. Polarized, color-enhancing lenses with patent-pending LAPIS technology cut through glare for better fish-spotting while reducing eye strain and fatigue. They block 95% of bad blue light, 90% of harsh yellow light, and 100% of UV.
The frame is dialed for comfort and the water: vented rubber side shields, ergo rubber nose pads and temple tips, two-way flex hinges, and keeper holes for a retainer.
