Forward WIP Gust Aero Polarized Sunglasses

Wide-coverage polarized watersports sunglasses designed for clear vision, aerodynamic performance, and reduced fogging.

The Forward WIP Gust Aero Polarized Sunglasses feature a large spherical mono lens that provides a broad, uninterrupted field of view while kiteboarding, wing foiling, sailing, paddling, boating, or spending time on the water.

The Category 3 polarized lens helps reduce harsh glare reflected from the surface of the water. Its dark smoke appearance includes a subtle yellow or amber tint when viewed through the lens, helping improve contrast and visual definition in bright conditions.

A hydrophobic lens coating helps water bead and roll away, while the ventilated wraparound frame promotes airflow to reduce heat and fog buildup during active use.

Category 3 Polarized Spherical Mono Lens

The large spherical mono lens provides broad visual coverage without a center-frame obstruction. Its Category 3 polarized construction helps reduce reflected glare from the water while maintaining comfortable vision in strong sunlight.

The lens appears dark or nearly black from the outside but has a subtle yellow or amber tint when viewed through it. This contrast-enhancing tint can help improve definition on the water without the bright appearance of a traditional yellow lens.

Hydrophobic Lens Coating

The hydrophobic treatment helps prevent water droplets from clinging to the lens. Spray and splashes bead more easily, helping maintain a clearer viewing surface while riding, sailing, or paddling.

Close-Fitting Aerodynamic Design

The wraparound frame follows the shape of the face and sits close to the head. This streamlined profile provides broad coverage while reducing exposed edges that can catch wind during high-speed watersports.

Integrated Ventilation System

The frame’s ventilation system promotes airflow around the lens to help reduce heat and condensation. This is especially useful during physically demanding sessions and in warm, humid conditions where conventional sunglasses may fog more easily.
