Ever have your shades fall from your face, into the water and sink out of sight deep into the murky depths never to be seen again?

Not to worry if you have a pair floating sunglasses from Gill.  Gill is the maker of some pretty high end sailing gear that also produces a wide variety of floating sunglasses.

Here’s what Gill has to say about the recent addition to their sunglasses line-up.

Gill’s new 2010 line of floating Sunglasses have been cleverly designed for use on the water, and not only provide high quality polarized lenses but are also comfortable and stylish to wear.

The frames are made of a low density plastic for maximum buoyancy so they float, and have been molded in a wrap-around design so they stay anchored to your face, whatever the weather. Extra comfort and grip comes from the use of ingenious soft pads that cushion the temple, and a neat integral molding for the bridge of the nose.

The polarized lenses give optimum distortion free UV protection, as well as providing the ability to see clearly through the waters surface glare. Each pair of Sunglasses is supplied with a soft non-scratch pouch that can also be used for cleaning the lenses.

Gill’s two new designs are the Sport, style 9650, and Vent and come in a selection of colors for each style, allowing fashion conscious sailors and boaters to match their sunglasses to the rest of their boating wear. They are also ideally suited for windsurfing, canoeing, fishing and other water sports.
