Guideline Eyegear’s Alpine Sunglasses: Bio Based Frames

Guideline Eyegear’s Alpine Sunglasses ($59.95) are always polarized, providing total eye coverage against the sun with some of the widest lenses in Guideline’s collection. Rubberized temples and nosepads allow for maximum coverage in an active lifestyle without the worry of slippage, and as always, these sunglasses come 100% UV A and B protected.

The Alpine’s durable wrap-style frame allows for comfort and style as well as functionality, but is still constructed with the lightweight Grilamid BTR and polycarbonate lens in several timeless shade options. Whether this winter leads you, the Alpine is the perfect companion.


They are made of a 54% bio based polymer frame.  Guideline's bio based frame material is better for the environment than traditional frames for three different reasons ::
*CO2 emissions generated during the manufacturing process are 44% less than what is created during the manufacturing of traditional sunglass frame plastics
*Sustainably grown castor bean, and the natural oil generated from it, is a true alternative to crude oil based plastics
*Grillamid BTR is fully recyclable
