The exclusive waterproof linings and fabrics are made of 50% recycled plastic and include Leather from a tannery rated silver for its water, energy, and waste management practices.
Hit the road with these brilliant Haskel shades. The rectangular frames make for a great unisex style that makes a great pick for drivers. We also love the olive lens and transparent cinnamon frame combo for a look that ensures a uniquely cool look from beach to BBQ this summer.
