Hobie® Eyewear Unveils "Hull Float" Sunglasses: Sustainability Meets Superior Performance

As environmental protection takes center stage, creating sustainable products from upcycled materials is more vital than ever. Hobie® Eyewear proudly introduces its latest innovation, the Hull Float sunglasses, designed for eco-conscious anglers and water adventurers who value sustainability, performance, and durability. The Hull Float sunglasses are crafted with frames made from 100% upcycled scrap plastic, a byproduct of the Hobie® Kayak product process. Unlike traditional recycled materials, broken down into raw components, upcycled materials repurpose discarded resources directly into new products. This innovative approach minimizes waste while maximizing functionality. The bio-based polarized lenses incorporate castor oil-derived materials, further reducing environmental impact. A standout feature of the Hull Float sunglasses is their ability to float in water, ensuring easy retrieval if dropped—a practical solution for fishermen and aquatic adventurers alike. The polarized lenses provide superior visual clarity, reduce glare, and enhance comfort in diverse aquatic environments. “The Hull style embodies Hobie’s unwavering commitment to innovation and sustainability, showcasing our determination to reduce our carbon footprint,” said Stephen Vaughan, Hobie® Eyewear’s Senior Director for Product Development. “With Hull, we’ve pushed beyond conventional materials and techniques to create a truly sustainable sunglass.”
