Choosing the right tint:

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

The Yellow tint is designed to greatly increase perceived brightness and amplify contrasts. In fly fishing, it is particularly effective in low-light situations: overcast conditions, 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 seams, obstacles and sometimes even the shadow or silhouette of fish.
The yellow lens is also useful for fishing in wooded areas, on narrow gorge rivers or when the water is slightly tinted. Its blue light filtration increases contrast and helps better perceive the surface, emergences and fine drifts of flies.
The yellow tint is ideal for the fly fisher operating in low-light conditions, seeking clearer, brighter and more contrasted vision, while benefiting from polarization to reduce glare.

The Gray tint is the most neutral and versatile of the dark tints. It reduces light intensity without altering natural colors, 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 gray tint is an excellent choice for the fly fisher 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 filtration, it improves sharpness and depth perception, while reducing eye fatigue.
It renders natural colors and allows precise reading of underwater structures.
- More detailed vision of water seams, 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 gray lens coated with a blue mirror. This combination provides excellent glare reduction and a high level of protection in bright light. In fly fishing, it effectively cuts glare on the water surface, improving current reading and underwater visibility in very bright conditions.
The best tint for sea fishing as it offers the best glare control, sharp 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 the perception of contrasts and depth, making it easier to detect fish and underwater structures.
Its enhanced blue light filtration and maximum UV protection ensure precise and restful vision in bright light conditions.

The Silver Mirror tint combines a neutral gray base with high color 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 top choice for the fly fisher operating in strong light conditions, seeking neutral, precise and well-protected vision against glare.
