Bajio Soldado Sunglasses – A Timeless Classic, Built for the Outdoors

An Icon Reimagined

Aviator-style sunglasses have a history rooted in combat, but these days, the battlefield has changed. Whether tracking permit on a saltwater flat, scanning for movement in the treeline, or piloting a boat through open water, the Bajio Soldado Sunglasses deliver the perfect blend of timeless style and performance-driven functionality.

Named after a legendary flat in Guanaja, Honduras, where permit and bonefish tail in the shallows, Soldado speaks to those who appreciate classic design but demand modern innovation. This medium-fit, medium-wrap metal frame is designed for captains, spotters, and decision-makers—the ones calling the shots and leading the charge.

Sleek, Durable, and Made for Action

Part of the Metals Collection, Soldado blends refined aesthetics with rugged performance, making it just as comfortable celebrating a day’s success on the water as it is scouting for next season’s trophy buck.

  • Narrow temples for a lightweight, unobtrusive feel.
  • Flexible nose pads for a custom fit.
  • Hypo-allergenic stainless steel frame that’s durable yet comfortable.
  • Barrel hinges for smooth, long-lasting function.

Polarized Lenses That Elevate Your Vision

With Bajio’s LAPIS™ polarized lenses, Soldado isn’t just about looking sharp—it’s about seeing more, with less strain. Whether you’re tracking movement in bright conditions or watching the water for signs of fish, these lenses bring clarity to every scenario.

  • Glass Lenses – Ultra-clear optics and scratch resistance for maximum detail and crisp vision.
  • Polycarbonate Lenses – Lightweight and impact-resistant for long days in motion.
  • LAPIS™ Blue Light Blocking Technology – Blocks 95% of blue light, reducing eye strain and enhancing contrast.
  • Superior Polarization – Cuts through glare on water, open fields, and bright landscapes, giving you an edge in every pursuit.

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.

Classic Style, Built for the Wild

Like a well-worn leather strap watch or a trusted field knife, Soldado is a staple that never goes out of style. Whether you’re gliding across glassy water at sunrise or watching the sunset with a drink in hand, these sunglasses offer effortless performance and timeless appeal.

Perfect For:

  • Saltwater and freshwater fishing
  • Whitetail property management & scouting
  • Captains, pilots, and leaders who need all-day clarity
  • Classic style lovers who refuse to compromise on performance

Bajio Sunglasses FAQs

Bajio Soldado Sunglasses - Angled View, Silver Gloss Frame with Violet Mirror Lens

What’s the difference between polycarbonate and glass lenses?

Glass lenses offer superior optical clarity and scratch resistance, while polycarbonate lenses are lightweight, impact-resistant, and more comfortable for all-day wear. Both feature Bajio’s LAPIS™ technology to reduce glare and block harmful blue light.

Which lens color is best for hunting?

Copper, Violet Mirror, and Rose Mirror are the top choices for hunting. Copper enhances contrast in wooded areas, Violet Mirror excels in low light at dawn and dusk, and Rose Mirror boosts visibility in open fields. View the full lens color guide here.

Which lens color is best for fishing?

It depends on the conditions. Blue Mirror is best for offshore fishing in bright sun, Green Mirror enhances contrast for shallow water and flats, and Silver Mirror is great for rivers and lakes. For low light, Violet Mirror and Rose Mirror improve visibility at dawn and dusk. View the full lens color guide here.

How do Bajio sunglasses reduce glare?

Bajio sunglasses use high-performance polarization to block glare from water, snow, and reflective surfaces. Combined with LAPIS™ lens technology, they filter out harmful blue light, enhancing contrast and reducing eye strain for clearer, sharper vision.

Are Bajio sunglasses good for everyday wear?

Yes! While designed for fishing, hunting, and outdoor sports, Bajio sunglasses are also great for everyday use.

Medium Wrap | 6-Base

Made from metal, made for the water. Bajíos metal lineup just doubled in size.
Metal shades have a long history in combat, but somehow tricked into fishing. The only difference is our battlefields are oceans, lakes, rivers, and flats and we’re fighting for bites, tournament wins, and Instagram hero shots. Wherever the dogfight goes down, we want to make sure you’ve got the shades to make it though.
