Named after the Islamorada flat that’s home to lazy tarpon and pesky permit, the Swash will keep you coming back for more. Just like when the fish turned away at the last moment before the strike. Your guide squinted from behind the dark lens not because of the sunlight, but because he was deep in thought. Back at the dock, he told you about a spot you should try again tomorrow, while he filets his catch without pausing mid-sentence or even breaking eye contact. Give it a go again.
The Swash is an easy-wearing oversized frame designed to provide excellent coverage and increased field of vision. Despite its size, it wears lightly thanks to our proprietary bio-based nylon, which is both lighter and stronger than oil-based plastic. Soft, grippy contact points on the nose and temples keep the featherweight frames from floating away, while polarized lenses with proprietary LAPIS technology block blue light to keep eyes free from strain and fatigue to make long days on the water even more enjoyable.
VLT 10%
Bajío lenses are polarized. They cut out the glare and allow you to see how amazing our waters really are. Polarization increases depth perception and contour so not only do you see things better in the water, but you also see things from further away when on the water. This is key technology for sight fishing.
Bajío’s polycarbonate lenses have oleophobic coating on both sides to shed oil and water, and resist smudging (the biggest culprits: sweat and sunscreen). This coating also increases the scratch resistance and extends the life of the lens.
All Bajío lenses block 95% of blue light up to 440 nm and the majority of intense yellow light at its peak of 580 nm. This means no more hazy days and no more color interference.
Bajio LAPIS™ technology uses proprietary techniques to filter out harsh
yellow light while virtually eliminating high energy blue light (bad blue) and allowing all the good blue light to reach your eye. We hear a lot about reducing blue light from computers, but the biggest producer of blue light is the sun. For those of us who spend more time on the water than in front of a screen, blocking the sun’s blue light is critical to our vision and our health. Using proprietary techniques, Bajío is able to improve lens clarity, reduce blur, glare and haze while enhancing color and protecting your eyes from harmful rays. Blocking 95% of high energy blue light up to 445 nm, Bajío sunglasses block more of the bad blue light than any other brand on the market.
If impact resistance and light weight are most important to you, pick polycarbonate.
If visual clarity and scratch resistance are the most important to you, pick glass.
Without sacrificing performance, we are driving the change from traditional materials to greener options. We consciously partner with factories who follow this ethos—those who are powered by renewable energy, self-sustaining, carbon neutral, and zero waste.
When it comes to packaging, why wouldn’t we use recycled paper? Using 100% recycled instead of 100% virgin fiber paper saves 100% of the trees, uses 69% less energy, uses 47% less water, and creates 39% less solid waste.
