FITZROY SLATE SUNGLASSES
The crowd favourite and our best-selling frame design. Our twist on classic wayfarer unisex sunglasses style suiting a broad range of face shapes, designed to blend adventure performance with the everyday and backed by a lifetime frame warranty.
Each 100% recycled sunglasses frame directly drives our mission and impact: made from the ocean's most harmful plastic directly recovered and recycled by the Waterhaul team from the Cornish coastline. Paired with signature Mineral Glass+ lenses delivering the greatest optical clarity and sustainability of any sunglasses lens material, plus 12x scratch resistance and infinite recyclability vs. plastic lenses, along with full spectrum UVA / UVB / UVC 400+ protection.
FRAMES
- Hand-finished Italian crafted unisex frames in a classic wayfarer style design
- 0% virgin plastics, 100% recycled nets and lines, directly recovered by Waterhaul from UK shores.
- Matte slate grey finish that alludes to the materials origins as ocean plastic.
- Ultra-durable five barrel hinges.
- Our 100% recycled frames allow our sunglasses to be heat mouldable, enabling minor adjustments at home to get the perfect fit. View our adjustment guide here.
- Our frames are covered by our ‘Recycle and Replace’ lifetime guarantee – damaged frames can go back into the plastic recycling loop to create new sunglasses.
MINERAL GLASS, NOT PLASTIC.
Waterhaul is the only sustainable sunglasses brand not using virgin plastic lenses. We use glass lenses, over cheaper plastic sunglasses lenses for three key reasons:
Optical Quality - Mineral glass is optically correct, with by far the greatest visual clarity of all lens materials.
Scratch Resistance - Our sunglasses are designed for the beach, which means sand - the enemy of most sunglasses. Our chemically hardened polarised glass is 12x more scratch resistant than other lenses, and exceeds all international impact resistance tests.
Sustainability - Recycled plastic lenses do not exist. Glass is infinitely recyclable, and doesn't produce microplastics when cut to shape.

THE DETAIL
30-Days To Try,
Lifetime To Recycle.
We get it - picking a frame style online isn't always that easy. That's why we offer 30 days after your sunglasses arrive to try them on at home - UK customers, if you want to return or swap, return postage is free with Royal Mail returns.
Likewise, we strive to operate an entirely circular business model and ensure a single pair never goes to landfill. Our sunglasses are made to last, but if you manage to break a pair, we'll offer to repair them or recycle them and provide you with replacement frame for FREE.
