Hopedale: Built for Water, Sun & Adventure
Named after the legendary Hopedale, Louisiana, where anglers from across the country come to sight-fish for redfish, the Bajío Hopedale sunglasses are designed for those who demand performance, protection, and versatility. These large-fit, medium-wrap sunglasses offer balanced sun coverage while maintaining a lightweight, comfortable feel. The hidden Sun Ledge™ technology provides additional glare reduction without compromising style, and the bio-based nylon frame ensures durability for long days in the sun.
Polarized for Maximum Visibility
When it comes to fishing, hunting, and outdoor vision, the right lenses make all the difference. Hopedale is equipped with Bajío’s polarized, color-enhancing lenses, available in glass or polycarbonate:
- Glass Lenses – Unrivaled optical clarity with superior scratch resistance, designed for harsh sunlight and high-glare environments.
- Polycarbonate Lenses – Lightweight and impact-resistant, built for extended wear and durability.
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.
