Frequently Asked Questions
Do bamboo sunglasses float in water?
Yes! Bamboo is naturally lightweight and porous, allowing these frames to float on the surface of the water. This makes them ideal for water sports where traditional plastic or metal glasses would sink and be lost.
Are these sunglasses truly plastic-free?
We prioritize natural materials wherever possible. The frames and cases are 100% bamboo, and the pouch is organic cotton. While the polarized TAC lenses are a composite material, they are a high-durability choice designed to last, helping you move away from disposable plastic eyewear. How to Upcycle Sunglass Lenses.
How do the spring hinges work for different face sizes?
Our sunglasses feature stainless steel spring hinges that offer roughly 15 degrees of outward flex. This allows the frames to sit securely on larger heads without pinching, while remaining snug on smaller faces.
What are the benefits of TAC polarized lenses?
TAC (Tri-Acetate Cellulose) lenses are high-performance polarized lenses featuring a 7-layer construction. They provide 100% UV400 protection, high impact resistance, and superior glare reduction. Because they are lightweight and durable, they are the ideal choice for fishing, driving, and high-intensity outdoor activities.
Are TAC lenses eco-friendly?
Yes, TAC lenses are considered a more eco-friendly alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics. They are derived from cellulose (naturally occurring plant fibers), making them a more sustainable choice for high-performance eyewear without sacrificing clarity or safety.
How do TAC lenses compare to polycarbonate lenses?
TAC lenses offer a more cost-effective and lightweight alternative to polycarbonate while maintaining excellent impact resistance and 100% UV protection. TAC lenses are often preferred for their superior polarization layers which effectively block horizontal glare, whereas polycarbonate is typically chosen for extreme high-impact environments.
