Seeds from the castor plant are harvested and processed into castor oil.

Castor oil is used to produce a natural raw material known as bio-based plastic resin.

Use of bio-based resin vs. petroleum based resin offers a reduction in emissions and our overall carbon footprint.

Bio-resin is used in all of our plastic frames.

Our process is comprised of several technological advancements that help reduce our carbon footprint.

FRAME MATERIALS

Our frames are made of a wide range of materials, providing the greatest comfort and the best performance on and off the water.

MONEL

Corrosion-resistant Monel metal

Monel's tough, corrosion-resistant alloy is often used in marine applications. If you are on the water a lot, Monel stands up to the challenge.

HYDROLITE™

Hydrolite™ rubber

Hydrolite™ is our proprietary, hypoallergenic rubber which prevents slippage. We use Hydrolite™ rubber on comfort spots such as nose pads and temples.

TITANIUM

Titanium & Beta Titanium

Our frames are made of titanium and beta titanium. Titanium is strong like steel but lighter, perfect for sports. Beta titanium is hypoallergenic and made by blending titanium with other metals. Both materials are incredibly durable and have the unique ability to return to their original shape after being put under pressure.

Sunglasses construction with tri-Lateral Fusion
  • *Each layer is comprised of solid color bio-resin. The result is a highly durable frame with chip-proof color.
  • *Original bilateral and trilateral styles are created by bonding together two or three distinct colors into one frame.
