Polarised Sunglasses: Glare Reduction and UV Protection

What do polarised lenses do?

Polarised sunglasses help reduce reflected glare from surfaces such as water and snow. This can make daytime outdoor viewing more comfortable. Glare reduction and UV protection are different lens features.

Does polarisation mean UV protection?

No. A polarised lens does not, by itself, confirm a UV protection rating. Look for a UV400 rating or a label stating 99–100% UVA and UVB protection. Check the specifications for your chosen Finn's style, or contact our team before ordering if you need help confirming its lens protection.

The National Eye Institute's guide to sunglasses and UV protection explains what to look for when choosing lenses.
