Hobie Report
Hobie Eyewear proudly introduces its latest innovation, the Hull Float sunglasses, designed for eco-conscious anglers and water adventurers who value sustainability, performance, and durability.
The Hull Float sunglasses are crafted with frames made from 100% upcycled scrap plastic, a byproduct of the Hobie Kayak product process. Unlike traditional recycled materials, broken down into raw components, upcycled materials repurpose discarded resources directly into new products. This innovative approach minimizes waste while maximizing functionality. The bio-based polarized lenses incorporate castor oil-derived materials, further reducing environmental impact.
A standout feature of the Hull Float sunglasses is their ability to float in water, ensuring easy retrieval if dropped—a practical solution for fishermen and aquatic adventurers alike. The polarized lenses provide superior visual clarity, reduce glare, and enhance comfort in diverse aquatic environments.
Hobie® Eyewear is also partnering with the American Sportfishing Association to donate a portion of the proceeds from all Hull Float sunglasses sales to the FishAmerica Foundation, ASA’s conservation and research foundation. Since 1983, the FishAmerica Foundation has awarded $12.1 million to 1,007 projects in all fifty states and Canada to enhance fish populations, restore fishery habitats, improve water quality, and advance fishery research to improve sportfishing opportunities and help ensure recreational fishing’s future.
The Hull Float sunglasses retail for $119.
