Bajio Sunglasses Reader Lenses
WHAT SETS IT APART?
The company name is Spanish for “the shallows,” but Bajio has deepened its line by offering a Readers option. Built to order, Bajío Readers are available in every full-wrap frame style, with polycarbonate lens options green mirror, blue mirror, rose mirror and gray and magnification powers +1.50, +2.00 and +2.50. Made with Bajio’s proprietary LAPIS technology for exceptional clarity, lenses feature durable anti-scratch properties and oleophobic coatings, which make sunscreen and water easy to remove.
HOW DO I USE IT?
Eliminating the need to alternate between prescription eyewear and polarized sunglasses, Bajio Readers were created for anglers who don’t require prescription sunglasses, but often need more focal power for finer detail work such as tying knots, checking weather apps on mobile phones and reading electronics. With magnification and blue light-blocking clarity in a single pair of glasses, anglers are less encumbered when it comes to switching between distant and close-up focus.

ANGLER’S INSIGHT:
Bajio has made a strong impression in the polarized eyewear space with a broad selection of frames boasting a blend of style and functionality. The Florida-based company also has made a strong connection to environmental stewardship by basing its operation on sustainability. With Bajio’s frames that are made from plant-based Nylon that degrades quickly and is gentler on our oceans after being disposed of. Also, packaging materials and individual sunglasses cases are made from recycled or sustainably grown materials. Expanding the offering to consider nonprescription vision needs is a smart move.
