Quite possibly the most enduring frame style in the world, and still looking good after all these years. Rather than mess with a classic, we’ve just refined it with top-tier hinges and finishes, as well as our Fresh Eyes™polarized lens technology to block blue light and glare for enhanced visual acuity. You may tire of the Top Gun quotes—or not—but you’ll never go out of style.
Equally stylish on a man or woman, this frame is like a classic watch: it speaks to the wearer’s appreciation for classic style and time-tested functionality. Whether celebrating the day’s action on the water or enjoying a serene sunset from shore with your arm around the waist of a loved one, the Soldado is your ace.

- Many of our frames are 100% plant-derived. Instead of petroleum-based plastics, we make frames from castor plants. The material is lighter than aluminum, carbon fiber, and glass composites, yet 10 times stronger than polycarbonate, and 13 times stronger than other common bioplastics.

We never wanted a traditional plastic case; instead, we sought materials that fit our brand ethos. We sampled faux leathers made from mango skins, apple skins. even cactus. Unfortunately, these were thin and delicate, and needed a polyurethane backing to hold together, negating much of the benefit.
So we took a closer look at real leather. We hadn’t initially considered leather because we thought it had a poor ecological impact—but we were wrong. Like mango and apple leathers, real leather makes use of a by-product of food production. We use leathers that are tanned using eco-friendly processes. Leather also lasts a very long time—properly cared for, it never needs to be replaced. If it does end up in a landfill? It’s biodegradable.
