CORONA DEL MAR, Calif., Sept. 19, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- A company in Southern California, (www.FishGillz.com) has solved a problem that has been troubling anglers and boaters for decades -- trying to produce a pair of sunglasses that float.
Jeff Taylor, company founder, said, "When designing our sunglasses, our objective was to address 4 areas of concern: maximum protection, ultimate comfort, a floating feature, and we wanted to provide these features at an affordable price. We got the idea for the floating feature after talking to several friends who lost their expensive sunglasses in the ocean."
FishGillz Sunglass Company (www.FishGillz.com) is now the first company to offer a line of high quality polarized sunglasses that float if dropped overboard. Designed specifically for boaters, anglers and water sports enthusiasts, FishGillz weigh an incredibly light 1/2 of an ounce, offer 100% UV400 protection, and have a sleek, stylish sports frame design. The lenses, made by the 3M corporation, provide perfect optical clarity and distortion free visual acuity which is idea for reducing glare. The frames are are made of a very flexible yet durable polymer blend, and FishGillz provides all this for under $50.
FishGillz were created for water-related sports, but because of their ultra-light, wrap around sport frames, and distortion-free polarized lenses, they can be used for any and all types of outdoor activities. Their website is www.FishGillz.com.
