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.

Built for Water, Land & Unmatched Clarity

From sight-fishing in sunlit shallows to managing whitetail habitat under open skies, Hopedale sunglasses are designed for those who need versatile, high-performance eyewear. Engineered with a medium-wrap frame for balanced coverage and featuring polarized LAPIS™ lenses, they reduce glare, enhance contrast, and block blue light for crystal-clear vision in any environment. Whether you're scanning the marsh for redfish, tracking movement in open terrain, or spending long hours outdoors, the lightweight bio-based nylon frame and hidden Sun Ledge™ technology provide all-day comfort and sun protection without compromise.

  • Polarized lenses with LAPIS™ technology for glare reduction and enhanced contrast
  • Large fit with a medium wrap (6-base) for a secure yet comfortable feel
  • Built-in Sun Ledge™ hidden glare blockers for improved visibility
  • Narrow temples and ergonomic rubber nose pads for a snug, slip-resistant fit
  • Barrel hinges for smooth, long-lasting performance
  • Durable, lightweight bio-based nylon frame designed for all-day wear

Designed for Maximum Clarity and Comfort

Whether you’re sight-fishing the flats, scouting land, or managing whitetail habitat, the Bajío Hopedale sunglasses provide unmatched clarity, protection, and all-day comfort. With cutting-edge optics, a secure fit, and premium materials, these sunglasses are ready for wherever the day takes you.
