The PlanetSolar team wearing Polaroid sunglasses.
As PlanetSolar continues its mission into the New Year, Polaroid Eyewear has once again pledged to support their mission to promote renewable energy sources across the world. Polaroid is PlanetSolar’s official sunglass supplier, so we’re keeping their eyes protected from the glare of the water as they sail.
Today is the 507th day of Planet Solar’s around the world tour. The team are now sailing in the north of Abu Dhabi. The next step will be the Somalian Sea. In this region, piracy is a concern, so the Planet Solar mission is paying full attention to avoid any problems so they can arrive on time in Monaco on 4 May.

The Military Wives achieved Christmas Number 1 last year; raising huge amounts of cash for Help for Heroes. So when the No Limits Triathlon and Running Club asked us to support their Nottingham to Monaco cycling ride in aid of Help for Heroes and The Royal British Legion, we jumped at the chance. Polaroid Eyewear has donated pairs of cycling sunglasses to the team, to give them glare-free vision and protection on the road as they 
undertake this gruelling twelve day challenge.
Along with other sponsors including, Best Western Hotels, GSK, Cotswold World and Mountain Warehouse, we’re keeping an eye on their training progress through their Facebook page, take a look.

Here at Polaroid, we’re working alongside the angling community. There’s a great deal of skill involved in this sport but also the need for safety. So that’s why you need the optimum eye protection from sunglasses. Polaroid’s fishing sunglasses improve your vision by blocking glare reflected off the water. This lets you see the fish in the water clearly and avoid any obstacles in the way.
Currently we’re running a contest with the Fly Fishing Forums, Europe’s largest community of fly anglers, as part of their Famous Fly Fisher competition. So if you love fly fishing, join their forum and get involved.
Take a look at their picture caption competition. Then come up with something clever about Billy Connolly. The lucky winner will receive a pair of Polaroid’s fishing sunglasse
s, Trappers P7125C, which have yellow polarized lenses and are specially designed for fishing.

A special feature of the launch included the display of original Polaroid sunglasses which date back to the 1930s when we first launched the brand. As we celebrate our 75th anniversary this year, it was the perfect opportunity to show how original designs from the archives shape today’s fashions.

Greg wearing Polaroid’s golf sunglasses, Voyager P7125A.
When it comes to golf, there’s nothing more important than having the right kit. So Greg Smith, an instructor at East Herts Golf Club, has been checking out Polaroid’s golf sunglasses, Voyager P7125A. He’s delighted with the results.
“These Polaroid golf sunglasses have been excellent for providing me a clear view of the golf ball’s flight when I’m playing in all weather conditions,” said Greg.
“Green reading has also been made much easier as I can see the contours of the course with greater definition. These are a must for all golfers.”
Polaroid’s Voyager golf sunglasses have copper coloured lenses, which give good definition in low light, when it’s cloudy and on the average summer day.
We also have sunglasses for golf available with lavender or brown lens options, which help in bright conditions when contrasts are at their strongest.
