Solar Bat has been awarded a U.S. Patent for its polarized gradient
tints used in two tint variations available in its sunglasses lineup.
Dr. Gary Nesty, O.D., owner of Solar Bat, announced the patent on the
gradient, which is available in Mossback and amber variations. Gradient
tints feature either Mossback or amber in the top 55 percent of the lens
and transition gradually into high contrast yellow in the bottom 45
percent of the lens.
With a straight gaze, an angler wearing sunglasses with the gradient
tint is looking through the dark upper tint. When the angler moves into
the shadows, visibility is brightened by tilting the head back and
looking through the high-contrast yellow portion of the lens. The wearer
has a tint for bright light as well as low light without changing
sunglasses.
In 2010 Solar Bat inverted the gradients so the angler can look through
the high contrast yellow by tilting the head down. These inverted
gradients are perfect for anglers when skipping lures under docks or
overhanging trees and brush.
