Yes, polarized sunglasses are generally considered to be quite beneficial for watersports. Polarized sunglasses are designed to reduce glare from surfaces like water, snow, and pavement. This is achieved through a special filter that blocks out horizontal light waves while still allowing vertical light waves to pass through.
In the context of watersports, such as boating, fishing, surfing, kayaking, and even swimming, polarized sunglasses can offer several advantages:
Reduced Glare: Glare from the water's surface can be quite intense, making it difficult to see clearly. Polarized lenses help to minimize this glare, allowing you to see beneath the water's surface and improve visibility.
Better Contrast and Clarity: Polarized lenses enhance contrast and clarity by reducing the scattering of light. This can be particularly useful when distinguishing underwater structures, rocks, or fish.
Enhanced Safety: Improved visibility due to reduced glare can enhance safety during watersports, helping you navigate through potential obstacles and hazards more effectively.
Reduced Eye Strain: Squinting against bright sunlight and glare can lead to eye strain and discomfort. Polarized sunglasses help alleviate this strain, making your outdoor activities more enjoyable.
Comfort: Wearing polarized sunglasses can make your overall experience more comfortable by reducing glare and allowing you to focus on the activity at hand.

Blue Lenses
Blue lenses are an excellent choice for watersports under bright and sunny conditions. They offer several advantages:
Glare Reduction: Blue lenses effectively reduce glare from the water's surface, enhancing visibility and making it easier to see into the water.
Color Enhancement: These lenses enhance the natural colors of the environment, making them suitable for vibrant, sunny days.
Cooling Effect: Blue lenses impart a cool, calming tint to your vision, which can be refreshing in the midst of intense sunlight.
Suitable for Open Water: If you're engaging in activities like sailing or boating on open waters, blue lenses can help you maintain clear vision and reduce eyestrain.
Gold Lenses
Gold lenses are a distinctive option that can offer unique benefits for watersports:
Enhanced Contrast: Gold lenses excel at enhancing contrast and depth perception. They're particularly advantageous in varying lighting conditions, such as early mornings or overcast days.
Low-Light Performance: These lenses are excellent for situations where the lighting is not optimal. They allow you to spot fish and underwater features more effectively.
Warm Color Tint: Gold lenses impart a warm, cozy tint to your vision, which can be especially inviting during activities on the water.
Versatility: Gold lenses are versatile, making them suitable for a range of conditions, from sunny to partially cloudy days.
Ultimately, the choice between blue and gold lenses depends on the lighting conditions you expect to encounter and your personal preferences for color perception and contrast enhancement. If you're frequently exposed to bright sunlight and want to reduce glare, blue lenses are a solid choice. On the other hand, if you're looking for enhanced contrast and adaptability to different lighting situations, gold lenses could be a better fit. Remember that both lens colors can come with polarized features, which will further enhance their effectiveness for watersports.

Sunglasses themselves are not typically "waterproof" in the same sense that a waterproof watch or bag might be. However, sunglasses can be water-resistant, which generally means they are equipped with features that protect them from moisture, splashes, and light rain. This is particularly important for activities like watersports, where there's a higher likelihood of getting wet. Here's what being water-resistant typically entails for sunglasses:
Hydrophobic Coatings: Some sunglasses have hydrophobic coatings on their lenses, which repel water droplets and reduce the likelihood of water clinging to the lens surface. This helps maintain clear vision by preventing water spots.
Floating Properties: Certain sunglasses designed for watersports have floating features, which prevent them from sinking if they fall into the water. This makes it easier to retrieve your sunglasses if they accidentally end up in the water.
Seawater Resistance: Some water-resistant sunglasses are designed to withstand exposure to seawater, which can be more corrosive than freshwater due to its salt content. These sunglasses are constructed with materials and coatings that help protect against the potential corrosive effects of saltwater, making them suitable for coastal activities and watersports in marine environments.
While water-resistant sunglasses can handle exposure to water and light moisture, they might not be suitable for extended submersion, such as scuba diving. It's essential to check the manufacturer's guidelines to understand the extent of their water resistance. If you're specifically looking for sunglasses for activities that involve full immersion in water, you might want to explore options designed for snorkeling or diving, which are engineered to withstand more intense water conditions.
In summary, while sunglasses aren't truly waterproof, water-resistant sunglasses are designed to handle splashes and light moisture, making them a practical choice for watersports and outdoor activities where you might come into contact with water.
