Eyewear that Floats!

All the sunglasses in this shopping guide are made with boaters in mind! After losing too many expensive pairs overboard, a husband and wife duo in Charleston, South Carolina, developed a pair that floats. Now, when they aren’t out on the water, Rheos Eyewear is giving back to it. As a company, they vow to help protect the sandy shores and marshes that inspired the need for floating sunglasses in the first place.
