Plainview, NY (November 9, 2009) ¬– Hobie Polarized is pleased to announce it has entered into a historic agreement to be the official sunglass for US SAILING, the national governing body of the sport. Hobie Polarized designs and distributes a full line of quality polarized eyewear for the active sportsman, worn by watermen of all ages transcending time, age and style as a classic Americana brand.
Hobie Polarized, the original polarized sunglass since 1982, has had a long and significant impact on the sunglass industry, introducing and pushing the limits of technology and style. Hobie Polarized constantly has evolved and surpassed what the sunglass industry and their consumer has wanted or come to expect.
“We were passionate about the opportunity to work with US SAILING. Hobie Polarized has been on the water and the choice for watermen since 1982 and we are excited to have a partner that shares our vision for performance, quality and love of the water,” states Jorge Verdin, Senior Director of Marketing for Hobie Polarized. “Given Hobie Polarized’s position as the innovator of polarized eyewear we set out from the beginning to design, build and distribute high quality, performance polarized sunglasses that truly deliver an advantage to the sportsman worthy of the Hobie name.”
To achieve that goal, Hobie Polarized has designed and built eyewear providing a new type of vision, clearer, sharper and more precise. Hobie has always stood for the highest quality polarized lenses available. The Hobie Polarized revolutionary HydroClean™ Plus lens technology allows for unmatched vision on and off the water. They start with Hobie’s proven polarized technology enhanced with water repellent and anti-reflective coatings applied to each lens under carefully controlled conditions. The result is a lens that sheds water, resists dust and grime, is easy to clean and reduces distracting reflections from light sources behind you.
