You remember that time your sunglasses got knocked overboard and sank? Most of us here at Mauri Pro Sailing, especially myself, can recall multiple memories where we see the glasses slowly sinking beneath the surface and gone forever. I'm more than positive that my last 2 sunglasses are at the bottom of the Chesapeake bay.
But just when all hope was lost on sunglasses.... there was a miracle! Gill came out with an awesome collection of Polarized Sunglasses and the best thing about them.... wait for it.... THEY FLOAT!
Now, they've actually been around for a little while now, but the entire line just got retrofitted with some new designs and colors. And we have to say, they look extremely stylish! And don't worry, some of them have the wide sides, so you can show off that awesome sunglasses tan to all your friends at the club.
So take a look at some of the new designs and try them out for yourself. I have a pair of these glasses and love them! If these didn't float, I'm pretty sure I would have lost these glasses months ago.
THANK YOU GILL!
Technical Information
Polaroid's
polarizing lenses are made up of a number of functional elements
ultra-carefully bonded together to achieve a high-performance optical product:
The main element of the sandwich lens construction is the polarizing light
filter in the center. Laminated to both sides of the filter are UV light
absorbers, which block 100% of harmful UVA, UVB, and UVC radiation. Optically
corrected, shatter-resistant cushion elements are laminated to both sides of
the UV absorbers, followed by a unique scratch- proof coating applied to the
outer surfaces.
A hydrophobic outer lens coating sheds water and
reduces salt residue, while oleophobic technology is applied to the inside
face, repelling fingerprints, sun lotion and skin oils all culminating to
provide optimum clear vision.
The frames are made of a low density, light,
tough and flexible material for maximum buoyancy, and have been molded in a
wrap-around design so they stay anchored to your face, whatever the weather.
Extra comfort and grip comes from the use of ingenious soft pads that cushion
the temple, and a neat integral molding for the bridge of the nose.

And just to pay homage to my favorite pair of glasses, here's the last known photo of both of us together. You will be missed.....
