If you have ever dropped your expensive sunglasses over the side and watched them sink out of sight you will appreciate Gill floating sunglasses!
These sunglasses are equipped with light weight, unbreakable Polaroid Polarizing lens. The support layers of this material is CAB (Cellulose Acetate Butyrate). CAB is a seven layer laminate with a high quality scratch resistant hardcoating. The whole lens is press polished and optically correct.




Gill is introducing Shield sunglasses – the first floatable and polarized over-glasses to be marketed to those sailors who wear prescription glasses. Designed to be worn over prescription frames, Gill Shield sunglasses provide 100% protection against harmful UVA and UVB light.

Shields are fitted with Polarized lenses that give glare-free vision when out on the water. The lenses are scratch resistant, have an oleo-phobic surface to prevent fingerprints and smudges adhering to the lens and a Flash-ReflectTM treatment that reflects bright light away and helps to hide your prescription eyewear.

The frames are made from lightweight Grilamid TR90 and include cushioned pads in areas where the glasses could come into contact with the spectacles. Additional buoyancy, inserted in the frame arms, allows the glasses to float should you drop them overboard.
