Vega Fish For Change Readers

Make a big impact on the next generation of fly fishers in your Limited Edition Vega sunglasses. These big, bold, high coverage shades are made with wide temples to block sidelight and feature custom permit fish art by our resident tattoo artist Casey Anderson.

Part of Bajío’s Temples of Change program, when you buy a pair of Limited Edition Vega shades, $20 from every purchase will go to Fish For Change to help fund scholarships for youth to participate in fly fishing cultural exchange programs to Mexico, Honduras, Costa Rica and The Bahamas. You pay the same price as our regular sunglasses and Bajío pays the cost of airfare for scholarship winners. In the end, we all win by giving these kids a launch pad to become global citizens and ocean conservationists.

“By purchasing these shades, you are helping educate the next generation of changemakers in the fly fishing community,” says F4C Executive Director and Bajío Odyssey Crew Member Heather Harkavy. “With your support you’re creating a lifechanging opportunity for a student who will potentially affect thousands of others in their lifetime.”

Named for Alejandro, Vega Cruz, AKA "Sandflea," the Grandfather of fly fishing on the Yucatan's Isla Holbox. The large frame Vega can help you spot giant 200-pound tarpon rolling in by the hundreds all day without weighing you down thanks to the strong yet lightweight bio-based frames.

Offering a bold, squared, high coverage 8-base wrap design with wide temples to block sidelight and protect eyes from the sun. Vega puts you in a veritable cocoon ready to laser focus on the task at hand. Bajío's polarized, color-enhancing lenses with patent pending blue light-blocking LAPIS technology cut through glare for better fish-spotting, while reducing eye strain and fatigue.
