Shortstache EveryDay Mist 1/4 Polarizing Filter - Open Box, 77mm
PolarPro teamed up with Garrett King, aka Shortstache, to create a unique filter combo that embodies his signature photo aesthetic - a Polarizer + Black Mist. Deemed as the “Everyday Filter”, it’s one that combines two sought after effects and one that can stay loaded on your lens. The Circular Polarizer aspect gives the image a sharp clean look, while the subtle mist diffusion adds a slight blooming to the highlights, bringing back a hint of filmic character. Each filter is finished in a Shortstache favored tone of matte green to match his production style and subtly add to your rig’s appearance.

PolarPro Shortstache EveryDay Mist 1/4 Filter — The One Filter You Never Take Off
The gist: A CPL polarizer combined with a 1/4 Black Mist in a single filter — designed to stay on your lens all day and deliver Garrett King’s signature cinematic aesthetic without stacking multiple filters.
- CPL + 1/4 Black Mist combo: The polarizer cuts glare from water and glass while the mist adds a subtle bloom to bright highlights — eliminates the need to stack two filters on travel shoots.
- Chroma polarizer glass: Zero color shift ensures accurate color in mixed-light travel environments like golden hour, overcast skies, and harsh midday sun.
- 16-layer multicoating: Anti-scratch, anti-reflective, and anti-fingerprint coatings keep the glass clean through dusty markets, beach shoots, and daily outdoor carry.
- Open Box — save 15% or more: Open-box units are factory-inspected; you get the same optical performance at a lower cost — practical for a filter that lives on your lens.
B&H Photo customers describe the Shortstache EveryDay as “great filter to keep on my lens 24/7” and praise the flawless glass and premium build quality as justification for the price premium over generic CPL filters.
Best for: Travel and landscape photographers who want a permanent, all-conditions filter that adds filmic character without stacking. Skip it if: You shoot in a controlled studio environment where diffusion is unwanted, or you need a pure CPL without any mist effect. Runs ~$77 (open box) — check the current price before buying.
