I had the benefit of receiving a pair of Sunski Treeline sunglasses to sample. From July 6th last year, the day they arrived at my house, I have worn them every single day. I keep wearing these lenses! Whether I’m hiking, driving, backpacking or even riding my scooter. They have become my go-to pair.
If you don’t know anything about Sunski, they are an independent sunglass company based in San Francisco. They are designed in California and backed by a forever warranty. All their frames are made from super light recycled plastic, a material the company developed themselves. Although the recycled glasses feel like they are cheap, they are far from that. The packaging is 100% recyclable and free from single-use plastic. The company is a proud member of 1% for the Planet. (Learn more about 1% here.) There is even a little note on the inside of the box which says “Thanks for joining the Sunski family. Now, recycle me and go find some sunshine.”
The lenses are polarized. On the exterior they look very dark but once peering through the glasses they are actually very clear. Giving the landscape view a nice soft look. This particular style has side covers. At first, I was completely unsure of the side covers. I thought, like the glasses themselves they were a bit flimsy. However, the lack of dirt and light that actually hit my eyes on a regular basis quickly altered my mind. The little side covers are removable if one prefers not to use them. There have been times when they have clipped off accidentally in my backpack, which is probably the only draw back I can take away.
Overall, I have enjoyed wearing the Sunski Treeline and will continue to do so!
