How well is it built?

The Fortis 247 Overwraps are clearly designed for durability, with a lightweight yet flexible matte black frame that feels solid without being bulky. The arms open and close smoothly, and the hinges resist over-flexing which gives confidence in day-to-day use.

There’s a clean, premium finish throughout, with no loose joints or exposed seams, and everything feels securely bonded. The soft rubber inserts on the arms are not just for comfort, they also add grip that holds up over long sessions.

The supplied hardcase is compact and tough, with a clip for attaching it to a bag or belt loop, which is genuinely handy. You can tell these are made by a brand that understands real-world use on the bank.

Clarity

The polarised lenses do a brilliant job of cutting through surface glare, especially on bright, high-glare days. Visibility below the surface is impressive, and the 24/7 brown-tint lens gives excellent contrast when spotting fish or structures.

Even in changeable conditions, the image stays clear without excessive colour distortion or darkness. There’s also a low-light amber lens option (AM/PM) which boosts brightness in dull or early light, ideal for dawn patrols or overcast UK sessions.

Both lenses enhance water penetration in a way standard sunglasses just don’t, and the results are instantly noticeable. If you want usable vision from dawn until dusk, these deliver across the full range.

Comfort & Fit

These are designed to fit over prescription glasses, and they do so without pinching, sliding, or weighing you down. The flexible frame accommodates most standard specs comfortably without creating awkward pressure points.

Even with regular wear over several hours, they remain stable on the face and don’t fog up thanks to the clever top vent system. That airflow is subtle but effective, especially when walking the banks or during hot spells where fogging is usually a pain.

Rubber inserts on the arms prevent them slipping, and their featherweight build helps reduce fatigue. It’s rare to find overglasses this comfortable that actually stay put all day.

Is it good value for money?

At around £40, the 247 Overwraps sit in the middle of the range, but they’re packed with thoughtful, fishing-specific features. From dual lens options to venting, grip zones, and a strong case and cloth included, they offer great value for what you get.

Prescription wearers often get left out of premium sunglasses options, but Fortis have gone the extra mile here. You’re getting performance that competes with more expensive dedicated fishing models, but in a format that works seamlessly over your glasses.

If you’ve struggled to find reliable fit-overs that don’t fog or feel clumsy, this is a smart investment. They're practical, durable, and far more comfortable than most generic alternatives.
