Bajio Darien Sunglasses – Full Wrap Performance for Offshore Fishing

Built for the Open Ocean

Named after the treacherous Darien River that feeds into Piñas Bay, the Bajio Darien sunglasses are engineered for serious offshore anglers. Whether you're scanning the horizon for bait balls from the bridge of a classic Bertram or casting flies at sailfish, marlin, or dorado, these full-wrap performance shades provide the coverage, grip, and clarity you need to stay focused on the action.

Unmatched Protection & Fit

Designed for high-speed, high-glare conditions, the Darien frame delivers maximum coverage and stability with:

  • Wide temples for enhanced sun-blocking and reduced side glare.
  • Full-wrap frame design for uninterrupted focus and all-day comfort.
  • Ergo rubber nose pads & temple tips for a secure, non-slip fit, even when sliding down the tower after blitzing tuna.
  • Keeper holes for easy lanyard attachment, so your shades stay put in the toughest conditions.
  • Built-in Sun Ledge™ to block internal light and boost contrast.
  • Flex hinges for a durable, adaptive fit.

Glass or Polycarbonate Lenses – Choose Your Advantage

The Bajio Darien is available in both glass and polycarbonate polarized lenses, giving you the freedom to choose the perfect option for your needs:

  • Glass Lenses – Superior clarity and scratch resistance for razor-sharp vision in high-glare environments.
  • Polycarbonate Lenses – Lightweight and impact-resistant, offering all-day comfort and durability for active anglers.
  • LAPIS™ Blue Light Blocking Technology – Blocks 95% of blue light, reducing eye strain and improving visual contrast for better fish-spotting.
  • Polarized for Maximum Clarity – Cuts through harsh ocean glare for a clearer, more defined view of the water.

Both options feature seven lens colors and Bajío’s LAPIS™ blue light-blocking technology, which filters 95% of blue light up to 445 nm, reducing glare, eye strain, and visual fatigue—so you can see sharper, longer.

Designed for Hardcore Anglers

The Darien isn’t just another fishing frame—it’s a high-performance tool built for offshore pursuits where clarity, comfort, and durability are non-negotiable.

Perfect For:

  • Offshore fishing – sailfish, marlin, dorado, and tuna
  • High-glare conditions – open ocean, sunny flats, deep blue water
  • Anglers who need full coverage and superior sun-blocking
  • Both glass and polycarbonate lens wearers

Which lens color is best for fishing?
