Are you in need of new Sunglasses with all the latest technology for Flats Fishing or most Outdoor activities? Are you confused about some of the features and marketing aspects of the various brands? Podcast Episode # 12 with Al Perkinson of Bajio may help.
And in time to help you get the best ROI (Return on Investment) for one of the essential items needed for Flats Fishing (Sunglasses), Flats Nation was honored to get to spend a few hours chatting with Al Perkinson of Bajio, who is the Founder and CEO of Bajio Sunglasses. This is as we pulled another of our popular and educational product deep dives (so much so you will need to spend time in the decompression tank after this one) to help you make the best choice for your Fishing and other needs!
Al Perkinson has been an executive in the outdoor industry for the past 20 years. He is a brand builder and growth agent who believes that social responsibility and great storytelling are keys to building beloved brands.
Bajío Sunglasses, if you are unfamiliar with the name since they were launched just 15 months ago. Is based in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, where it designs and builds performance sunglasses for anglers and other water enthusiasts.
Bajio is a privately held company with a mission to operate sustainably and contribute to addressing environmental issues faced by the world’s oceans.
Al is an avid fly fisherman, so he understands the visual needs of anglers who stalk fish and covers this in a brief video below:
He is also a very forward-thinking conservationist. We discussed his idea and concept of Indifly, a foundation he created to help strengthen Indigenous communities through fly fishing! He is also a board member of Trout Unlimited and Bonefish & Tarpon Trust.
So, jump on over to our direct stream or download the Podcast page found by clicking Here it is Episode # 12.
You can also listen to it on our YouTube channel below:
This, as Al and I, cover Sunglasses, the Technologies they have developed for the Lens (most important), and their Bio-Based Frame material simultaneously. I think you will find it very educational and surprised, like I was, at just how fast Bajio has grown in just 15 months since launch, under some of the most challenging times for any business (COVID-19), much less as a start-up!
Do your eyes a favor, find your local Bajio dealer, and try on a pair with some other brands simultaneously. 😎
