Hobie El Matador Polarized Sunglasses

🕶️ Long days on the water are hard on your eyes. The Hobie El Matador delivers Hobie's proven polarized clarity in a lightweight, all-day frame.

Hobie has built polarized eyewear since the 1980s, and the El Matador carries 100% polarized lenses that block 100% of UVA, UVB, and UVC rays while cutting glare off the water so you can pick out fish, structure, and color changes. A HydroClean coating sheds water, sweat, and grime so a quick wipe clears the lens, and the lightweight, impact-resistant build meets ANSI Z80.3 standards. Choose from Sea Green Mirror, Grey, Cobalt Mirror, and Sightmaster Plus lenses to match your water and light.
