Velo Polarized Sunglasses

Perfect for fly fishing into the dark

I have searched for years to find a pair of polarized glasses that had little/no tint. As a fly fisherman, dimming light conditions are often the times that fish are most active. In a recent search I found the Velo Rose glasses provided 65% VLT, That's 2-3 times more light transmission than anything else I've found on the market. I bought them and tried them out on a recent trip. I put them on a couple hours before sunset and wore them until coming off the river after dark. The rose tint oddly makes it seem brighter than wearing no glasses at all after dark. They are exactly what I've been looking for, and I highly recommend them to folks who fish into darkness. You'll still want your other sunglasses for the full sun conditions, but these are perfect for low light. My recommendations to Sunski: this lens should be available on other frame styles and you should actively promote these to fisherman for low light. The Velo frames don't look great on me - but the fish don't seem to mind how fashionable I look either.

Wow! Polarized Perfection!

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

I've been very happy with many Sunski sunglasses and these are some of the best I've owned. I've always wondered: What's the brightest – in terms of light transmission percentage – that a polarized lens can be? The rose colored lenses in particular show that it can be pretty light, and they make the world look amazing, especially on gray days, during rain, or mixed-weather days when it's rainy one moment but then the sun comes out. They literally put me in a better mood – they are just incredible. I have two pairs of the rose colored and also the amber-tortoise ones – also amazing. These are terrific glasses for driving, spots, cycling, and paddling or being near water. I recommend them 10/10!

Favorite Cycling Glasses

Best cycling glasses. Don't feel them on your face, lightweight and comfortable. They have enough cover to block wind but not so big as to ride against helmet edge, which I've found to be an issue with other cycling glasses. PLEASE consider offering clear lenses!

Worth the $ must say.

Amazing, great value. Got them for cycling and they are amazing. 🤩

Rose lens goodness

Can't wait for 2nd pair.

I bought these 2 years ago and they were not what I expected at first. Had a lot of visibility up high and wide, nothing I was used to and took some adjusting to with regular, casual use. I had bought a pair of these "active" sunglasses cause I liked the look online and the name velo... I should have put it together that they were great for cycling, but I didn't until I wore them out riding. I'm an avid biker and low and behold I stumbled upon my favorite cycling sunnies. The vision with your head down is superb and they are great for beach volleyball as well. The upper brow on these fits hats and helmets like a gem. I saw some other comments about wind and odd distortion. Had none of that, so with a fixed bridge its likely a little dependent on nose shape. Albeit my schnoz is wicked broken so these must have a nice general fit. Additionally, they clean so easily. I'm a greasy beach, dirt, rain, snow, sweat covered individual when I get going, and these would basically get clean with a shirt wipe, never really scratched either even when I accidentally would grind some sand in there. I ended up wearing these anytime I needed sunglasses, they are even interesting enough to fit in nicely if you dress them up, something like a polarized chameleon. Most comments I get are "I've never seen shades like those" which I take as a fat compliment. Really awesome specs for the price and stand up tall against some of the crazy expensive brands like District Vision. These bad boys took me to Zion, Boulder, San Diego, and more. Sadly, I lent them out during a roof party and never saw them again. It's been months and I just got a "fancy" expensive pair for the summer after get sick of staring into the sun. Within a few days, I already missed the velo's and just now placed an order for another pair. Can't wait for round 2. (I had the all black pair and bought those again, unsure of the low light lenses are, but I love the grey/black lenses for my sensitive blue eyes. Lots of shade and very clear vision still without feeling too dark.)

Cycling dream

My new favorite cycling sunglasses. They're light weight and provide enough coverage to keep the dust out of my eyes without interfering with my helmet or pressing on my cheeks.
