"Lani Shades was derived from sailing instructors’ need for quality sunglasses that could hold up to the Hawaiian sunshine ... these shades make for a great sailing accessory ... the environment has to be on our minds as sailors. Lani Shades are rooted in environmental awareness." (Excerpt) Read Zeke's full review here.

★★★★★The best sunglasses out at Sea! I love my Lani Shades! They are perfect for sailing and swimming. (And they're super stylish!) I know the struggles of glasses and water first hand, but these glasses are fit for fun. Lani Shades are waterproof, polarized, lightweight and made of super comfy bamboo material! My personal favorite features are their ability to float, flexibility and fun colors!

★★★★★I was skeptical of wooden shades at first. I was afraid they’d be brittle. But after wearing these for a while I’m convinced they’re as durable as any shades I’ve ever owned. And I don’t have to baby them like more expensive pairs I own. I LOVE these shades!

★★★★★ASA Product Review (Excerpt)
They really protect your eyes against the bright sunshine that is typical on a sailboat. The glasses float on my nose. Their lightweight bamboo construction gives them a feathery feel on my face. I like a product that is socially conscious and the environment has to be on our minds as sailors. Lani Shades are rooted in environmental awareness.

★★★★★💖 these! Great for sunny days, or doing yard work moving from sun to shade back to sun! You won’t have have to take them on and off, they work well in all lighting! Their definition is fantastic and I love the plastic free design! Thanks Lani Shades!

I enjoy surfing and sailing. I have several of pairs of sunglasses in my drawer. My Lani Shades however become my go to pair. They’re light, comfortable to wear. The polarized lenses reduces glare from the sun on the horizon on reflection from the ocean. Eagerly awaiting my recently ordered second pair of Lani Shades.

I love the sunglasses! They’re so simple, but cute. The best part is they float and they’re wooden. I’ve already dropped them in the water at the dock and was able to easily retrieve them!

Did not like plastic lenses, otherwise they’re nice.
Thank you for your review. Lani Shades uses TAC (TriAcetate Cellulose) lenses, which are a 9 layer optical film process, the primary component of which is cellulose (cotton). They are less "plastic" than some brands that use nylon. The least plastic would be glass but that would be less durable and difficult to install in wood frames.

Very nice glasses, unfortunately they didn't fit me perfectly. The service was amazing, I reached out about the fit and Greg was very kind. He provided me with a full refund.

(Excerpt) What I like about the Lani Shades Lani Ohe Aina Black Sunglasses.
They really protect your eyes against the bright sunshine that is typical on a sailboat. I could still read a book while wearing the sunglasses but I could not see the screen on my phone. In fairness, whenever I am sailing my phone screen appears too dim to allow me to read anything... read the full published product review at: https://asa.com/news/2021/04/26/lani-shades-product-review/
