Floating, Polarized Sunglasses for $6.00

Last year I lost a $200 pair of Oakley Sunglasses at the Lake Eire / Can-Am Free Ride when I failed to jump a wave… didn’t want that to happen again. I replaced them with cheap mall kiosk sunglasses and bought some awkward looking floats for them… They worked but it was an ugly solution.

I found these this winter after doing quite a bit of searching for sunglasses that floated, looked good and were inexpensive. And they’re polarized as opposed to some tinted plastic crap from the mall:

The originals (linked here: http://www.wavesgear.com/collections/waves-original-floating-sunglasses) are only $6.00 a pair until this Friday if you use the code “WAVESORIGINAL-80”

For any of you planning on spending time on the water this summer and think you could use a pair. :tup:

I feel like I should report this as spam. Did someone hijack your account? Mr GQ wearing $6 sunglasses?

lol nah it’s a real post. Have you ever looked for floating sunglasses @JayS? I know you’re a boating guy. All of the ones I’ve found are $100+ and ugly. There were some questionable ones on Amazon but again the designs were terrible IMO.

These are cheaper than the shit China sunglasses at a mall kiosk. And floats for normal sunglasses are $10-$20 on top of that.

I can’t be on the water and not have sunglasses or I’ll get a headache and my day will be ruined. I figured someone else might be in the same boat… pun intended.

Am I missing it or our there no black? Could be a cool gift for some boating friends.

They had black, looks sold out already.

Shouldn’t this be in the first world problems thread?

7

I bought one even though I am not near any water in Texas. $12 shipped for mine. Replacing a pair of Ray Bans that I lost that were $200 as well.

The code also works on the 4 pack, these might be perfect as I do a lot of whitewater rafting, canoeing, fishing. I usually use my pair of oakleys with chums attached but I think I ruined them

Awesome. Just what I need.

4 pack for $18? YESSIR

edit: tortoise are the only ones that are polarized

11

The “Blue” ones, that looks purple, are also polarized. Just picked up 3 pairs for $30, thanks a lot!!

12

LOL 9 dollars shipping…

I picked up the 4 pack, because… why not

13

Yeah it looks like only some of the colors are polarized, I missed that.

I paid $4.50 shipping to NY. No tax either :tup:

The cheapest chums are $6 and are awkward to begin with.

14

Oh come on… Those Chums are essential to pull off the preppy-boater appearance, popular with those “all boys” schools. I hear Coles lets you in free of charge with Chums on your Ray-Bans

15

I’d buy a pair of Chums and I dont even boat…although I do have a boating thing coming up in July.

16

Nice. Thanks Josh

17

got mine today and they are super cheapo glasses. I guess thats what you get.

mine had rough plastic finish on it i had to file it down with a razor so that it didn’t rub on my face.

18

Glad I got 80% off lol

19

Should have taken a picture and emailed it to them.

But yeah, they’re cheap. Thread title says so. They also float which is a feature you won’t find with other sunglasses at this price point.

I never even ended up ordering these because of the shipping but these guys have been spamming my inbox like no other. Several emails a day.
