MINNOW PHOTOCHROMATIC – PANORAMIC VISION WITH INTELLIGENT LIGHT ADAPTATION
The MINNOW PHOTOCHROMATIC polarised and photochromic sunglasses by aqua have been developed for ambitious fly anglers who demand an expansive field of view, enhanced side coverage and advanced lens technology in a dynamic, sporty design. Their pronounced wrap-around construction with panoramic character ensures maximum visual control on the water.
With their rectangular lens shape, generous lens dimensions and size L (Regular Fit), the MINNOW PHOTOCHROMATIC is particularly well suited to medium to larger faces, offering stable positioning and lasting comfort even during active movement.
PANORAMIC FIELD OF VIEW & ENHANCED SIDE PROTECTION
The strongly curved design with base curve 8 provides a distinctly contoured lens profile with extended lateral coverage. Combined with the wide temples, this creates effective protection against stray light and glare entering from the sides.
When observing current seams, identifying underwater structures or tracking the drift with precision, the extended coverage delivers a calm, high-contrast view without distraction.
POLARCHROMIC LENSES – POLARISED AND PHOTOCHROMIC
The Polarchromic lenses in Amber integrate two advanced optical technologies into a single lens: polarisation and photochromic self-adjusting tint.
The polarising filter significantly reduces glare caused by reflected light on the water’s surface. As a result, fish, underwater structures and depth variations become easier to detect while eye strain is reduced in bright conditions.
At the same time, the photochromic treatment automatically adjusts the lens tint according to ambient light intensity. In low light the lenses remain lighter; in strong sunlight they darken progressively – adapting in real time to changing conditions.
VARIABLE FILTER CATEGORY – AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT
The tint level of the MINNOW PHOTOCHROMATIC depends on light exposure:
Low light – Filter category 2 (medium tint)
Optimised contrast support in overcast conditions or during early morning and late evening hours.
Bright light – Filter category 3 (dark tint)
Effective glare reduction in intense sunlight.
All lenses naturally provide 100% UV protection.
LIGHTWEIGHT, FLEXIBLE AND MADE IN ITALY
Like all aqua models, the MINNOW PHOTOCHROMATIC is manufactured in Italy, representing precise craftsmanship and high quality standards in eyewear construction.
The black satin TR90 nylon frame combines flexibility, structural durability and low weight. At just 24 g, the sunglasses remain comfortable even during long days on the water. The ergonomic shaping ensures a secure and precise facial fit.
SECURE STORAGE AND TRANSPORT
The MINNOW PHOTOCHROMATIC is supplied with a microfibre pouch, which also serves as a cleaning cloth, as well as a protective hard case for safe transport.
