The Swash is an easy-wearing oversized frame designed to provide excellent coverage and increased field of vision. Despite its size, it wears lightly thanks to our proprietary bio-based nylon, which is both lighter and stronger than oil-based polycarbonate plastics. Soft, grippy contact points on the nose and temples keep the featherweight frames from floating away, while Fresh Eyes™polarized lens technology blocks blue light to keep eyes free from strain and fatigue to make long days on the water even more enjoyable.
The fish turned away at the last moment before the strike. He squints from behind the dark lens not because of the sunlight, but because he’s deep in thought. Back at the dock, he lets you know a spot you should try again tomorrow, while he filets his catch without pausing mid-sentence or even breaking eye contact. It’s an easy style—no fuss.

- 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.
