UV400 polarized floating bamboo and wood sunglasses from Lani Shades Hawaii
~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~
American Sailing instructor Captain Greg Martin and his crew were in search of the best sunglasses for sailing in Hawaii. Sailors need the best quality sunglasses for looking up at the sun to trim their sails and through the sun's glare to watch for reefs. Captain Greg and his crew believed that the best sunglasses for sailing must also be stylish, comfortable, durable and float if they fall overboard.
While other brands make plastic floating sunglasses, Captain Greg and his crew believed that as sailors, we love the ocean and see firsthand the serious and growing problem of the overuse of unnecessary plastic. Plastic pollution hurts the oceans and beaches that we love, especially in Hawaii. Why does everything need to be made of plastic? Sustainable bamboo and wood floats just as well, so if your sunglasses fall overboard and float away that's a little less plastic in the oceans and on the beaches that we love.
Captain Greg and his crew understood that a pair of sunglasses alone wasn't going to save the planet, so they teamed up with One Tree Planted and 4ocean to plant a tree for every sale and pull a pound of plastic trash out of the ocean for every $100 in sales. It might just be a small drop in the sea, but at least we can all ride on the wave of change in the right direction.
Select styles of Lani Shades bamboo and wood sunglasses frames are offered in natural wood, bamboo or durably and stylishly dyed black, brown or blue* with a protective natural coating to protect from moisture. Lightweight, comfortable and stylish designs for men and women that you'll want to wear for everyday use on land or at sea.
* New colors and designs coming in 2025!
