GEAR REVIEW Zeal Optics Blue Bird HT Lens What Denver Says: It was apparent the Blue Bird HT lens was something I needed in my arsenal as soon as I put them on. I’ve always wanted a quality pair of sunglasses I could wear in low-light situations; whether it be while fishing in overcast/rainy conditions or those fringe hours in the morning and evening where a regular pair of polarized glasses are just too dark. Unlike other low-light lenses, the Blue Bird HT are not an overpowering yellow lens. In fact, they make life better and brighter while still offering enough polarization to keep your eyes relaxed and comfortable. The Blue Bird HT has quickly become my favorite lens! What Zeal Says: Blue bird. The name says it all. A rallying cry to leave your bed behind in the murky predawn hours, in a quest to greet the glory of a new day, stacked with fresh snow, in the deepest recesses of the mountains. The BLUE BIRD is your companion across conditions, continents, and quests. A true lens quiver killer, BLUE BIRD lets you forget your lens, and the memories begin.
