Not\u00a0just for how they reduce glare, but for how they protect your eyes from the sun\u2019s harmful UV rays as well. Sunglasses-makers now offer myriad lens colors to choose from, but you shouldn\u2019t pick based only on style. The different lens colors provide \u00addifferent benefits depending on how and where you boat. We picked just three different lens colors from Bajio Sunglasses selection, paired with the new Darien frames, to illustrate the differences.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><iframe id=\"wxuzj5efbz\" src=\"https:\/\/boatingmag.dragonforms.com\/wxuzj5efbz\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"width:100%;height:165px;border:none;overflow:hidden;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blue Lenses<\/h2>\n<section class=\"hydra-container\">\n<div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2015\/09\/BTG425-WAV-Bajio-Blue-1024x768.jpg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Bajio sunglasses with blue lenses\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2015\/09\/BTG425-WAV-Bajio-Blue-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2015\/09\/BTG425-WAV-Bajio-Blue-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2015\/09\/BTG425-WAV-Bajio-Blue-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2015\/09\/BTG425-WAV-Bajio-Blue-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.boatingmag.com\/uploads\/2015\/09\/BTG425-WAV-Bajio-Blue.jpg 2000w\">                <\/div><figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">Blue lenses are best for bright, sunny days offshore.<\/span><br \/>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Courtesy Bajio Sunglasses<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/section>\n<p><strong>The Clear: <\/strong>These are best for bright, sunny days offshore.
