Whether you’re fishing on alarms, zigs or stalking, a good pair of quality sunglasses is vital to allow you to identify features below the surface and more importantly, cruising carp. The extra water penetration that polarised sunglasses offer is a crucial advantage and can put an extra few fish on the bank.

Fortis manufacture an impressive line of polarised sunglasses, the range varies in price and there is a pair for every budget. As the name suggests, the Fortis Essentials Sunglasses are just that, just the essentials, the design has been stripped back in order to minimise cost, but this does not mean Fortis have compromised on quality, far from it. The lenses are the same signature lenses Fortis use on its more expensive models.

The polarised lenses pack all the punch of a more expensive pair, the lenses are housed in a minimal yet superlight frame, specifically designed to ensure they fit every face shape. The lenses themselves are available in two tints, Fortis’ favourite AM/PM lenses for optimal viewing in low light levels, the other lenses are Fortis’ Brown 247 lenses, which are a great allrounder and can be used for most of your fishing.
