A Sustainable Eyewear Solution That’s Making an Impact

The market has embraced Hull Float sunglasses for their ability to blend high performance with environmental responsibility. Each pair is crafted from 100% upcycled kayak plastic, repurposing excess materials from Hobie® kayak production. Unlike traditional recycled plastic sunglasses, this upcycling process reduces waste while maintaining durability and functionality.

The bio-based polarized lenses—made from castor oil—have also won fans for their performance and eco-friendliness, cutting carbon emissions by over 50% compared to petroleum-based lenses. The combination of sustainable polarized sunglasses and cutting-edge design has made Hull Float a top pick among anglers and water sports enthusiasts.

Built for Water Enthusiasts: Floatable & Performance-Driven

Athletes and professionals who have tested Hull Float sunglasses praise their floatable design and advanced polarized lenses. Whether fishing, paddling, or navigating open water, these sunglasses provide unmatched performance. Available in multiple tints, including Grey Polarized, Copper Polarized with Sea Green Mirror, Grey Polarized with Cobalt Blue Mirror, and Sightmaster™ Plus, they ensure comfort and enhanced vision in varying conditions.

Hull Float lives up to its name—designed to stay afloat when dropped in water, it ensures easy retrieval while helping to keep lakes free of unwanted plastic waste.

More Than Sunglasses: Supporting Conservation Efforts

Hobie® Eyewear continues its mission beyond product innovation by supporting the FishAmerica Foundation. A portion of proceeds from every Hull Float purchase goes toward fishery conservation projects, making them sunglasses that help protect fisheries. The foundation has invested over $12.1 million into habitat restoration, research, and sportfishing improvements, further cementing Hobie® Eyewear’s role in sunglasses that support conservation.

A Must-Have for Eco-Conscious Adventurers

From professional anglers to weekend kayakers, Hull Float sunglasses have quickly become must-have kayak fishing gear. Even the accessories are eco-friendly: each pair includes a protective hard case made from upcycled kayak plastic and a recycled microfiber cleaning cloth.

As the positive feedback continues to roll in, the Hobie® Hull Floatreview community is buzzing with excitement about the impact these eco-friendly sunglasses for outdoor sports are having in both performance and sustainability.
