When the sun comes out most of us tend to scatter towards a body of water, whether it be in the form of an afternoon spent chilling by the pool, a road trip to a nearby lake for some fishing or a weekend getaway with family and friends to the beach. While this may in fact be true for many parts of the world the ever-reliable British weather only seems to fuel this commotion tenfold as everyone tries to catch some rays while they can – it’s a long tie coming!

On those rare occasions that people do get to enjoy some decent summer weather your protective eyewear becomes an essential accessory for making a fashion statement preventing the bright light from damaging your eyes while you have your fun in the sun.

Picture a sad story where you inadvertently go for a dip with your favourite sunglasses resting firmly on your head, only for them to somehow slip off, leaving you to watch helplessly as they vanish into oblivion, down a deep blue abyss.

Fear not and make an extra splash this summer with sunglasses that float on water. When you Wear Panda you never have to worry about your sunglasses sinking to the bottom of the ocean again! You can now water bomb with confidence – Pandas in hand – knowing that even if they were to come off meters below the surface of the water they will always find their way back to the top.

This makes Panda sunglasses perfect for individuals who are actively involved in water sports such as kite surfing, kayaking, fishing, sailing and stand up paddle to name a few, or for just lazing around, sipping pink cocktails on a floatie for that matter – no judgements here.

As a company we choose to invest solely in premium bamboo, due to its natural benefits over other materials. The fact that the bamboo is extremely lightweight allows our sunglasses to not only float on water, but also means that they are extremely secure when they’re hooked onto your open buttoned beach shirt or resting over your head. Due to the fact that they will barely move like some heavier sunglasses will, you are less likely to experience those dreaded “DAMMIT” moments where your pair slips off and gets scratched or worse as it ricochets off a hard surface.

Panda sunglasses are an optical Swiss army knife, serving many different purposes and as such are a handy accessory to have as part of your collection. Whether you fancy polarised for example Monroe Black Red Revo, Kennedy Brown Green Revo, Jackson Black Blue Revo or the standard non-polarised sunglasses, Pandas are sure to impress no matter the occasion by striking the right balance between quality (backed by a life time warranty), functionality (floating sunglasses) as well as style (a unique look).

(A lot of people still do not fully grasp the importance of blocking ultra violet rays from your eyes. Wearing the wrong protection or choosing to forego protection altogether can have irreversible consequences in the long run, especially for people that take part in water sports.
