WHAT IF WE TOLD YOU THAT A PAIR OF PLANT-BASED SUNGLASSES IS POSSIBLE?

Dragon did it, and we're completely crazy about this product. Starting this summer, you can proudly wear your eco-friendly sunglasses. The key phrase in this project: let's protect the oceans we love to surf, the mountains we love to climb, and the land we love to explore.

MOUNT MATERIAL

The look of the frame is usually what will determine your choice of glasses. Let us surprise you with some information that will make you say "wow, that one is beautiful inside and out."

THE CASTOR PLANT

What exactly is a plant-based resin? In the case of Dragon frames, the frames are made from castor resin. Castor is a common plant that grows almost everywhere and resembles a small shrub. Around the world, approximately 700,000 farmers cultivate it. To this end, the company has partnered with the Global Network of Suppliers and trained and certified by Pragati, an organization that aims to reduce environmental impacts through education and the establishment of more sustainable supply chains.

This association and the use of plants in the production of their frames reduces the company's ecological footprint and environmental impact, and who doesn't love a company that takes care of our planet? Especially now.

CASTOR RESIN

What does castor resin ultimately offer? Essentially, it's a renewable material (yay) and creates a stronger plastic that's both lightweight and durable.

ACETATE

Acetate is one of the most popular materials used in frame creation. At Dragon, they chose to use a plant-based thermoplastic for a more durable product and a more aesthetically pleasing look. The company certainly has an eye for detail; some of their frames are even hand-finished to offer you the highest level of quality!

THE GRILAMID

This material makes their frames SUPER sturdy. Plus, the company made them with nylon, making them even lighter and more eco-friendly, as they'll last a long time.

Dragon didn't just think about making sturdy frames. They also took care to make lenses that are as sturdy. So you have twice as much reason to make a responsible choice by choosing one of their products.

LENS MATERIAL

Sun protection is key. But when the protection is effective, green, and clear, it's literally the ultimate in comfort for your eyes.

POLYCARBON

Polycarbonate is one of the components of Dragon's lens. You can find it in several of their models, including the Monarch, Monarch XL, and Compass. This component makes your lenses both featherlight and durable.

THE CR39

You'll find this type of lens on acetate frames. This component will give you crystal-clear vision! When shopping for frames, look for styles like the Hype or Jake.

NYLON

You'll definitely find this component in Dragon's famous floating goggles. A little tip from a friend: with summer coming up and all the water sports you plan to do, wakeboarding, fishing, or even the beach, you definitely want these kinds of goggles to avoid disaster! You'll have the advantage of clear vision and lightweight as a bonus! The Jam H20 and Vantage are made of nylon.

DRAGON, THE INFORMED CHOICE FOR THIS SUMMER

We're all making an effort when it comes to making eco-friendly choices. You carry your reusable bags, you always have your little metal straw, and you try to do zero-waste grocery shopping as much as possible. We're doing our best to save our beautiful playground, and the good news is that now you can give Mother Nature a helping hand when you buy your sunglasses!
