K Y N A N C E H A Z E (P R E S C R I P T I O N S U N G L A S S E S)
Our Kynance sunglasses model is made from recycled trawl nets and lines and is available with prescription lenses, offering complete sustainability, utility and optical clarity. The unisex circular frame suits most small to medium face sizes.
As we move into August on the Cornish coast, the backdrop to our adventures shifts in hue thanks to the hardy flora that clings to our clifftops. A gentle wave of heather breaks across our rocky headlands, creating a soft, refined blend of grey and pink. Taking inspiration from the coastline that we protect, we’re delighted to release a limited run of our Kynance frames reflecting these summer landscapes.
FRAMES
- Italian engineered and hand-finished.
- 0% virgin plastics, 100% recycled polypropylene nets and lines, which are the most abundant form of ghost gear we find on our shores.
- Limited edition frame tone inspired by the hardy flora and rocky headlands of the Cornish coastline.
- Ultra-durable three barrel hinges.
- The plastic from 100% recycled fishing nets gives these frames flexibility, allowing you to make 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 pairs.
PRESCRIPTION SUNGLASSES LENS OPTIONS
Our prescription sunglasses lenses are glazed to the highest standards by a family-run manufacturing opticians in Cornwall.
We offer sunglasses prescription lenses in Grey (standard), G15 Green and Brown lens colour variations, in two material types:
CR39 - The modern industry standard. UV400+. Plastic lens with good optical clarity properties, available with or without polarisation. You can also have a blue mirror finish applied to the outer coating.
1.67 Index - Known as 'Light and Thin' lenses, this option reduces thickness by approximately a third vs. CR39 lenses, making it ideal for stronger prescriptions. Anti-reflective coating as standard. (even thinner 1.74 Index also available on request). UV400+ and available with or without polarisation.
Unfortunately, we are unable to produce varifocals. However, you can purchase our 'frame only' option and have them glazed with your local optician.
Please contact customerservice@waterhaul.co for queries around lens types, options and prescription queries.

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 Waterhauls arrive to try them on at home - for UK customers, if you want to return or swap, return postage is free with Royal Mail Returns. Prescription lenses are non-refundable, so we recommend ordering our frame-only option if you'd like to try before you buy.
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.
