Shades to take you from forests and mountains to the sea
Fifteen miles or so north of San Francisco’s iconic Golden Gate Bridge lies the Dipsea Trail, one of the Bay Area’s most scenic and challenging hikes. Sunski’s Dipsea frames are named after this famous up-and-down route, which runs through grand redwood forests to the sweeping Pacific coast. The versatile rounded silhouette of these sunglasses offers similarly broad appeal, looking great and offering full UV protection whether you’re hiking and biking through woodland or chilling at the beach. The medium-coverage, medium-sized frames are a classic unisex design that works best on small to medium faces. Made from Superlight recycled polycarbonate resin, they’re also sustainably produced to ensure minimum impact on the landscapes we all love.

- Ethically Sourced Materials - Sunski couldn't find a sustainable material they liked, so they invented their own. SuperLight recycled resin is stronger, lighter, and more comfortable than anything on the market. SuperLight is created from scrap plastic that would otherwise end up in a USA landfill. Sunski intercept this scrap plastic from the waste stream and reformulate it into their SuperLight polycarbonate resin.
- Supports Eco-Initiatives - Sunski is a member of the One Percent for the Planet, an international non-profit organisation where members contribute at least one percent of their annual sales to environmental causes.
US brand Sunski, based in sunny California, do things differently. All their styles are 100% original, designed from scratch at their studio in San Francisco. From the outset they prioritised style, fit, performance, value and sustainability. That means honest pricing, great looking frames, premium polarised lenses, high-quality components and a comfortable fit all day long, without squeezing or pinching. Sunski are so confident you’ll love your shades that they offer a lifetime warranty.
Maybe most importantly though, the brand also uses their own Superlight recycled polycarbonate resin in all their frames, rescuing scrap plastic from landfill and turning it into sunglasses. Their packaging is also plastic-free. The company is completely carbon neutral and are part of 1% for the Planet, supporting environmental causes year on year.
TL, DR? Great sunglasses designed for outdoorsy people, made from recycled stuff. Now, go have some fun.
