Surf sunglasses made for adventure

Glare from the sun and salt in your eyes are no good for your surf. A little UV protection goes a long way - like reducing the risk of eye sunburn or surfer’s eye - and you want to look good too. That’s why we’ve rounded up this range of men’s surf sunglasses, designed to explore the waves with you.

Expect maximum protection, polarised lenses, lightweight frames and even floating technology so your new shades don’t get lost at sea. This range is made to expand visibility to make sure nothing gets in between you and the next a-frame.

Men’s sunglasses - the questions you’re asking

What are polarised sunglasses?

Polarised sunglasses have special lenses that protect your eyes from harmful UV rays while reducing glare from light-reflecting surfaces, like water and snow. They look just like standard sunglasses, but their built-in polarising film changes the way light reaches your eyes, so bright light environments are easier to take in.

What men’s sunglasses are in style?

The Freeride Crew moves to our own rhythm—we’re not ones to follow the crowd and our range of sunglasses online reflects that. Expect daring styles that aren’t for the faint-hearted, and designs that speak to your unique personality. Of course, we’ve always got one eye on what’s trending. This year, men are celebrating life in coloured lenses, classic aviators with steel frames, sporty wraparound glasses and thick rims reminiscent of the 70s.

Can a woman wear men’s sunglasses?

We believe in absolute freedom of expression. While we’ve rounded up styles viewed as typically “men’s” sunglasses, anyone can wear them. Men’s glasses are generally more square, with traditional, simpler frames. Of course, sunglasses can be gender-neutral and open to interpretation. We say, wear whatever you love.
