Choosing the right tint:

The Amber tint is one of the most popular among fly fishermen thanks to its ability to enhance contrasts and improve depth perception. It effectively filters blue light, making it easier to distinguish structures underwater, current lines, obstacles and sometimes even the silhouettes of fish. It offers a warmer and more contrasted vision than grey, while remaining versatile.

The Yellow tint is designed to strongly increase perceived brightness and amplify contrasts. In fly fishing, it is particularly effective in low-light situations: overcast weather, fog, heavy shade, early morning or late evening. Thanks to its ability to brighten the scene and improve detail definition, it makes it easier to distinguish subtle movements, water lines, obstacles and sometimes even the shadow or silhouette of fish.
The yellow lens is also useful for fishing in wooded areas, on steep-banked rivers or when the water is slightly tinted. Its blue light filtering increases contrast and helps better perceive the surface, emergers and fine fly drifts.
The yellow tint is ideal for the fly fisherman fishing in low-light conditions, looking for a clearer, brighter and more contrasted vision, while benefiting from polarization to reduce glare.

The Grey tint is the most neutral and versatile of the dark tints. It reduces light intensity without altering natural colours, allowing a faithful reading of the river, insects and fish.
In fly fishing, this neutrality is an asset when it is important to perceive the environment as it is, without artificial enhancement of contrasts.
The grey tint is an excellent choice for the fly fisherman seeking natural, stable and comfortable vision during outings in bright light.

The Copper tint offers an ideal balance between contrast, visual comfort and versatility. Thanks to its polarization and enhanced blue light filtering, it improves sharpness and depth perception, while reducing eye fatigue.
It renders natural colours and allows precise reading of underwater structures.
- More detailed vision of water lines, obstacles and fish
- Versatile tint, suited to the majority of fishing outings
- Marked reduction of glare thanks to polarization

The Blue Mirror tint The Blue Mirror tint is based on a polarized grey lens coated with a blue mirror. This combination offers excellent glare reduction and a high level of protection in full brightness. In fly fishing, it effectively cuts the glare on the water surface, improving current reading and underwater vision in very bright conditions.
The best tint for sea fishing as it offers the best glare control, clear vision in extreme light, and optimal reading of the surface and below.
The mirror coating sometimes requires careful maintenance (gentle cleaning) to avoid micro-scratches or deterioration of the mirror performance.

The Green Mirror tint combines a contrasted amber lens and a highly effective green mirror, offering strong glare reduction and optimal comfort in full sunlight.
Perfect for fly fishing in clear water and highly reflective areas, it noticeably improves contrast and depth perception, making it easier to detect fish and underwater structures.
Its enhanced blue light filtering and maximum UV protection ensure precise and restful vision in bright light conditions.

The Silver Mirror tint combines a neutral grey base with high colour accuracy and a high-performance silver mirror coating, offering excellent glare reduction and optimal comfort in bright light conditions.
It guarantees clear, distortion-free vision, perfect for outings in full sunlight, on the water surface or in highly reflective environments. It is a tint of choice for the fly fisherman fishing in strong light conditions, looking for neutral, precise and highly protected vision against glare.
