Sunglasses for Surf, Drive and Beach
Why polarised matters
Glare off salt water is brutal. A polarised lens cuts the horizontal light bouncing off the sea, which means you can actually see the incoming sets at Rest Bay, read waves at Freshwater West and drive back over the Severn Bridge without killing your eyes. Same goes for wet roads in winter. If you spend any real time near water or behind a steering wheel, polarised is worth the extra few quid.
UV400 as standard
Every pair in this collection is UV400, so your eyes are properly protected from UVA and UVB. Frame wise we run Oakley and Smith for the performance end, Sunski for recycled plastic lifestyle frames, Ocean and Earth for solid surf pairs you can drop in the sand without crying, and a rotating cast of surf-brand styles under fifty quid. Mens, womens and unisex shapes in classic, aviator, round and sport. Looking for affordable recycled frames? Shop the full CHPO sunglasses range, all made from 100% recycled plastic at £30 to £36.
Round out the kit: mens hats and caps | womens hats and beanies | mens shorts | gifts for him | gifts for her.
Try on a pair in Porthcawl
Frames are a face-shape thing. Come into the shop five minutes from Rest Bay, try ten pairs, find the one that does not slide off when you look down. Salt spray rinses are on the house.
