For the Angling Daddio, Give a Pair of Sunglasses this Father's Day

If you haven’t already noticed, summertime is here and the long days spent fishing, camping or cooking out on the back deck are at hand as the kids enjoy a respite from school.

That also means that the annual run of summer holidays is here as well, including Father’s Day coming up in a few days on Sunday, June 20, 2024. 

If you’re still looking for a great gift to give pops on Daddio Day, we’ve got not one, but two full-blown Father’s Day Gift Guide that you should check out, one aimed at dad’s who fish and another targeting dads who hunt. 

And if you’re on the look-out for something else, check no further than Florida sunglass maker, Island Optics for its Angler sunglasses.

As most anglers know, you’re only as good on the water some days as your polarized sunglasses are. That’s especially true for sight fishing bass anglers in the spring across the South, as well as Florida saltwater anglers peering into the H2O for the tailing forms of tarpon, permit, bonefish, redfish and snook. 

And if you’re a fly angler looking to do battle with a big carp tailing on a warm and sunny summertime flat or a huge lunker bass in the shallows, you’ll need to be able to see clearly there too. 

If a new pair of shades is something that your angling dad might want as he targets his next trophy fish, check out the Angler polarized sunglasses from Island Optics. Engineered for open water, this is Island Optics most popular fishing frame with the crescent-shaped polycarbonate lenses blocking the sun's glare and sidelight.

Coming in several options—including a matte tortoise frame and green flash mirror, among others—these shades feature Island Optics innovative OX2 dual polarized lens technology that delivers a sharper view and more vibrant colors. With the addition of hydrophobic, oleophobic, and anti-reflective coatings, the Angler also brings increased optical clarity on and off the water. And since they also feature a lightweight TR-90 material and Gator Grip anti-slip technology thanks to the nose pads and temple tips, they'll stay in place no matter how hot and sweaty an angler might get.

Coming with a microfiber pouch, a free sunglass retainer, and stickers—we've all got a sticker farm on our super-coolers and YETI tumblers, right?—the best news yet is that these frames and the others from Island Optics are on sale. All you have to do to take advantage of the 20% off sale is go to the company's website, add your favorite frame to the cart, and apply the code DAD20 at checkout. This sale won't last forever and expires on June 17, 2024.
