Where to Use the W6 Street 100

• Urban Street Fishing: True to their name, these are perfect for the canal-hopper or urban river angler who needs to stay mobile and look the part.

• Freshwater Sight Fishing: Whether you are tracking pike in the shallows or stalking trout in a clear stream, the polarization provides the contrast needed to identify silhouettes underwater.

• Saltwater Adventures: Thanks to the Anti-Seawater coating, these lenses are protected against the corrosive nature of salt spray, making them a great companion for coastal lure work.

• Everyday Lifestyle: Because of the Street aesthetic, these are just as effective for driving or a summer BBQ as they are for a day on the water.

Gerrys Pro Tip

To get the most out of your Westin W6 glasses, always use the provided microfiber cloth for cleaning. Avoid using your t-shirt or paper towels, as tiny salt crystals or grit can act like sandpaper. If youve been fishing in salt water, give them a gentle rinse with fresh water before wiping them down to ensure the lens coatings stay crisp for years to name.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the benefit of the Anti-Reflective (AR) coating?

The AR coating is applied to the inside of the lens. It prevents light from bouncing off the back of the lens into your eye, which significantly reduces eye strain and improves the overall sharpness of your vision.

Are these sunglasses heavy?

Not at all. Westin utilizes lightweight frame materials that provide a barely-there feel, which is crucial for preventing those annoying pressure points on your nose or behind your ears during 8-hour sessions.

Will these lenses shatter if dropped?

The W6 Street 100 uses polycarbonate lenses, which are significantly more impact-resistant than traditional glass lenses. While no lens is indestructible, these are designed to handle the bumps and drops common in active fishing environments.

Do they help in low-light conditions?

While Category 3 lenses are optimized for bright, sunny conditions, the high-quality polarization helps improve contrast even on slightly overcast days, making it easier to spot underwater features than it would be with the naked eye.
