New Styles of Floatable Sunglasses for Sailors

They’re sleek, sexy and an answer to a sailor’s dream; Gill’s two new styles of sunglasses for racing sailors and recreational boaters are lightweight, durable and made to float, easily retrieved if you drop them in the surf.

Gill North America, exclusive licensee and distributor of Gill technical apparel in the United States, is introducing two styles of floatable sunglasses—including one line especially designed for racing sailors — that combine the company’s commitment to high-tech performance with good looks, comfort, and practicality.

Our sunglasses are lighter than water, yet they provide the highest degree of protection against sun and reflected glare for performance sailors and everyone out on the water, said Gill NA President David Pritchard. Both styles of Gill Floatable Coastal Sunglasses 9473 and Gill’s Floatable Racing Sunglasses 9472 feature Polarized glare-free, shatter-resistant lenses by Polaroid and come with a dry wipe pouch for storage.

Gill’s Floatable Coastal Sunglasses 9473 are available in four colors: metallic red, black, silver and navy and they retail for $60.00. These stylish sunglasses feature Polarized glarefree, shatter-resistant lenses by Polaroid and come with a dry wipe pouch for storage. Gill’s Floatable Racing Sunglasses 9472 feature a strong, wrap-around frame with retaining strap that gives sailors a snug, yet comfortable fit. They feature Polarized glare-free, shatter-resistant lenses by Polaroid and come with a dry wipe pouch for storage.

These must-have sunglasses for racers are available in navy and silver and retail for $70.00. These sunglasses are an excellent extension to our line as they reinforce Gill’s aim of offering real lightweight protection for the performance sailor, Pritchard said.

Gill NA, an apparel and accessories leader in the worldwide marine industry for over two decades, specializes in high tech, breathable waterproof clothing.

The company tests, designs and markets a variety of performance-oriented, award-winning apparel and accessories for virtually every type of boating activity with product lines that include foul weather gear; interactive layering systems; footwear; gloves; yachting watches; bags; junior gear; scholastic gear; and team wear.
