MINNOW – PANORAMIC VISION WITH SPORTY WRAP-AROUND DESIGN
The MINNOW polarised sunglasses by aqua have been developed for fly anglers who demand maximum coverage, a wide field of view and a dynamic, sporty look. Their strongly curved wrap-around design creates pronounced coverage and provides reliable protection against lateral light.
With their rectangular lens shape, generous lens dimensions and Regular Fit – size L, the MINNOW is particularly well suited to medium to larger faces. The bold lines give the frame a distinctive presence on the water without compromising comfort.
PANORAMIC VIEW & EFFECTIVE SIDE PROTECTION
The base curve 8 defines the more pronounced curvature of the lenses, ensuring extended lateral coverage. Combined with the wide temples, this results in effective protection against stray light and side glare.
The result is a stable, relaxed field of vision – ideal for reading currents, spotting rising fish and maintaining precise control of your drift.
POLARISED LENSES – MAXIMUM CLARITY FOR FLY FISHING
All versions of the MINNOW are equipped with polarised lenses. The polarising filter significantly reduces reflections on the water’s surface, delivering a clearer and more contrast-rich view below.
You can identify fish, structures and depth variations more accurately while reducing eye strain in bright conditions. All lenses provide 100% UV protection.
FOUR LENS COLOURS FOR DIFFERENT LIGHT CONDITIONS
The MINNOW is available in four lens colours, tailored to the typical light conditions encountered in fly fishing:
Yellow – Lens category 2 (medium tint)
Ideal in low light, overcast conditions or during early morning and late evening hours. Yellow lenses enhance contrast and make underwater details stand out more clearly.
Brown – Lens category 3 (dark tint)
A versatile choice for sunny days. Brown lenses increase contrast while maintaining natural colour perception.
Grey – Lens category 3 (dark tint)
Reduces brightness evenly without significantly altering colours. Particularly comfortable in strong sunlight.
Blue mirrored – Lens category 3 (dark tint, mirrored)
The additional mirror coating reflects part of the incoming light, further reducing glare in very bright conditions, such as on wide rivers or still waters.
Note on lens categories: Lens categories (1–4) indicate the level of light transmission and therefore the intensity of the tint. Category 2 represents a medium tint, while category 3 is a darker tint suitable for bright sunlight. All versions provide full UV protection.
MADE IN ITALY
Like all aqua models, the MINNOW is manufactured in Italy, representing precise workmanship and high quality standards in eyewear production.
The black satin TR90 nylon frame combines high flexibility with low weight. At just 24 g, the MINNOW remains exceptionally comfortable even during long days on the water and ensures a secure fit thanks to its ergonomic shape.
The MINNOW comes supplied with a microfibre pouch, which can also be used as a cleaning cloth for the lenses.
