Kaenon Eyewear: On the Water

Being a collegiate sailor, and doing as much keelboat racing as possible when I'm not in school, I am on the water sailing quite a bit. As we all know, it is nearly impossible to chase shifts when you cannot see them and this is why eye wear is such a small but crucial key to the sport of sailing. True, you can pick up sunglasses before every race at your local convenience store or even gas station (I know all about this from traveling around New England for Jr. and Interscholastic races) but they are never the same as wearing a pair of quality polarized glasses meant for the sport. I have been skiing and sailing for most of my life, and have worn many of the industry's top sunglass brands, and nothing has compared to the level of quality in form or function in similar price ranges that Kaenon has reached.

Kaenon polarized sunglasses offer a wide variety of frame styles for both men and women to fit all size faces. I personally
picked up a pair of the Jettys, my flavor choice: Tobacco (brown) frame with a copper lens.

As advertised and claimed in their tech literature these lenses are clear and acute, with color contrasting qualities I have never seen in any sunglasses I have ever worn. They blow every other brand I've worn out of the water (no pun intended)! Not only is the vision quality superior, but the range of style Kaenon offers is equal to that of, if not exceeding, any sunglass manufacturer around. From highly sport function technical, to total style, Kaenon has a pair shades to match. All retaining the superior qualities of SR-91 polarized lenses, the SR-91 lens material Kaenon uses is impact resistant to the highest level of industry standards, important but hopefully never experienced!

This is my first pair of Kaenon glasses and I am nothing but thrilled with the eye comfort, vision clarity, polarized qualities, and style they’ve provided so far this sailing season! There is no doubt that Kaenon is putting out the best of the best polarized sunglasses. I am looking forward to wearing them for my winter mountain sporting activities in the off season as well. I am fairly confident that my new Jettys will be a year round pair of shades that I will be rocking from Oceanside to Mountainside !
