Coastal Vision, Unmatched Clarity
Made for the Water. Built for the Journey.
Stretching along the rugged Outer Banks, Highway 12 South is a passage through shifting dunes, wild coastline, and legendary fishing grounds. Inspired by the untamed spirit of the coast, the Bajío 12 South sunglasses combine bold styling with polarized performance, so you can stay dialed in on the water or unwind in the sun with effortless clarity.
Featuring a 6-base medium wrap with narrow temples, the 12 South offers a versatile fit that blocks sidelight while maintaining peripheral awareness—ideal for scanning the water for movement or keeping an eye on the horizon.
Polarized Performance for Maximum Visibility
When it comes to fishing, hunting, and outdoor vision, the right lenses make all the difference. 12 South is equipped with Bajío’s polarized, color-enhancing lenses, available in glass or polycarbonate:
