Which lens?

The color on the outside isn’t always the color you’re looking through. Here’s the easiest way to think about it.

Green-grey

This is the most neutral tint we make. Colors look like themselves, and it works well across changing light. It’s the tint in our G-15 lens, and it’s also underneath the Red, Silver and Peach Mirrors.

Brown

The Blue and Green Mirrors have a brown tint underneath. That’s what you’re looking through. It’s a warmer picture than the green-grey, with a little more contrast — edges and detail stand out. It’s what a lot of people reach for on the water or behind the wheel.

Mirrors

The mirror is a coating on the front of the lens, not the tint you’re looking through. It reflects more light before it reaches your eyes, which makes it useful in bright conditions like open water or snow at midday. The tradeoff is that a mirrored lens is darker when the light drops. If you’re out from bright sun into lower light, start with the non-mirrored G-15.

Whichever one you choose, every Black Sail lens is polarized and UV400. Polarization cuts reflected glare off water, roads and snow.

None of them is better than the others. It comes down to where and when you’ll wear them.

The numbers, what’s in the box, and how to look after them.

Light enough that you stop noticing them.

Light and durable.

Lens

Polarized · UV400

Cuts glare off water, roads and snow. Blocks 100% of UVA and UVB.

Coatings

Scratch · Glare · Salt

Scratch-resistant. Anti-reflective on the back, so sun behind you doesn’t bounce into your eyes. A salt guard on the front protects mirrored lenses from salt spray.

In the box

Folding hard case, soft case, cloth

The folding hard case is the one that lives in a glovebox.

The full details

Fit

Lens width 55mm, bridge 18mm, arms 145mm, and 142mm across the front. The fastest way to know if they’ll fit is to compare these numbers with the ones printed on the inside of the arm of a pair you already like.

Weight

24 grams. Light enough to wear all day without pressure on your nose or behind your ears.

Frame

The frame is TR90, a lightweight nylon-based material used in sports and performance eyewear. It’s light, durable and comfortable against your face. The hinges are metal, because the hinge is the part that works every time you open and close them.

Lens

Every lens is polarized, which cuts the reflected glare that bounces off water, roads, snow and car hoods. Every lens is also UV400, which blocks 100% of UVA and UVB light. That’s the same on every colorway — the color you pick changes the look and the tint, not the protection.

Coatings

The coatings do three jobs. A scratch-resistant coating helps the lens hold up to everyday use. An anti-reflective coating on the back stops sunlight from behind you bouncing off the inside of the lens and into your eyes. A salt guard on the front protects the mirror finish on mirrored lenses from salt spray.

In the box

A folding hard case, a soft case and a cleaning cloth. The folding hard case is the one that lives in a glovebox; the soft case is for a pocket or bag.

What those numbers mean

Jib frame shape: 55 millimeter lens, 18 millimeter bridge, 145 millimeter temple
  • 55Lens width
  • 18Bridge
  • 145Temple

Not sure about the size? The three numbers are lens width, bridge width and arm length, all in millimeters. Check the numbers printed inside a pair you already own and compare. It’s more useful than guessing from a size chart.

How it fits

55mm lenses, 142mm across the front, with arms that run a little longer at 145mm. At 24 grams, they're light for a frame this size.

Keep the lenses clear. Water and the cleaning cloth are all you need. Sunscreen, bug spray, hand sanitizer and household cleaners can damage lens coatings, so keep them off the lenses.

Everybody loses sunglasses

Left on a boat. Sat on in the truck. Over the side, gone. It’s the reason people talk themselves into a gas station pair instead of something they actually like wearing.

That’s why every pair includes one replacement, for any reason. Lost, run over, dropped in the lake — you don’t have to explain what happened. Cover $18 shipping and handling and we’ll send you a new pair.

And if the problem is ours, that’s different. The lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects for as long as you own them. Send us a few photos and we’ll take a look.

These Black Sail red mirrored sunglasses are an absolute game-changer! From the moment I put them on, I knew I'd found my new favorite pair. The red mirrored lenses are incredibly striking and give off such a cool, confident vibe, while the black frame keeps them sleek and versatile.

Not only do they look fantastic, but the quality is also top-notch. They feel sturdy and well-made, not flimsy like some other sunglasses I've owned. Plus, the sun protection is excellent – my eyes feel completely comfortable even on the brightest days. Whether I'm driving, at the beach, or just out and about, these sunglasses elevate my look and provide perfect clarity.

If you're looking for stylish, high-quality shades that will turn heads, seriously, look no further. These Black Sail red mirrored sunglasses are a five-star win!

Amazing shades! I spend a ton of time on the water so UV protecting and polarized is a must. I love my Smith and Costa glasses but they will break the bank. These were a great price and fit both my face (female) and my boyfriends great! Will be ordering more colors! They were so lightweight on, and came with both a glass sleeve and a really beautiful box!

And with enhanced visibility too.

Great quality sunglasses for the price.

Sunglasses came with a nice leather feeling box, sunglasses pouch and cleaning cloth.

The wayfarer style frames are smaller and best suited for smaller faces, however, the visibility on these bad boys are nice, really nice!

My sunglasses are the green lenses, but the color shift depending on the angle.

Overall, easy 5 stars and highly recommend them.

Fast shipping and great packaging are a bonus, making this perfect as a gift!

Love these sunglasses so much! They are comfortable, secure and stylish! They stay in place while running which has been a struggle with other brands. Perfect for hiking and water adventures also! You can’t beat the price for the quality!

The Black Sail sunglasses are comfortable and fit well and do not slip off. The block the sun efficiently and look nice when wearing. The design is of good quality and they are sturdy.

I never thought I could fall so hard for a pair of sunglasses, but here we are. These glasses aren't just an accessory; they're a whole mood. From the moment I slipped them on, I felt like I'd unlocked a new level of cool.

The sleek, black frames are incredibly versatile. I've worn them with everything from casual jeans and a t-shirt to a more dressed-up look for a night out, and they always elevate my style. The fit is perfect – snug enough to stay in place without feeling too tight, and the lenses provide excellent protection from the sun without distorting colors.

But what really sets these sunglasses apart is the way they make me feel. There's something about that dark tint that gives me an extra boost of confidence. Whether I'm strolling down the street or just running errands, I feel like I can take on the world behind those lenses. If you're looking for a pair of sunglasses that are both stylish and functional, look no further. These sungasses are worth every penny.

These polarized sunglasses offer both style and function with their UV400 protection and mirrored lenses. The seven-layer polarization reduces glare, making them great for driving, outdoor activities, or casual wear. The rectangular frame provides a sleek, modern look without feeling too bulky.

I wore these on a bright sunny day, and the difference was immediately noticeable—the glare reduction made everything much clearer, and the blue mirrored lenses added a stylish touch. Comfortable for extended wear, they feel lightweight while still providing durable coverage.

Really nice and light! The UV400 means almost 100% of the sun’s UV rays, UVA and UVB, are blocked from damaging your eyes, so bonus there and Polarized = they block glare too and brighten your view. These look quite a bit like another brand with something-Ban in the name and fit smaller faces nicely. I went w/ blue mirrors for a different look, and at this price, if I sit on them or the dog gets a-hold of them, no worries. Good stuff!

Wow! Super quality sunglasses at a very reasonable price.

As good as Ray-Bans , easily.

I'm at sea level and bought these for boating. Might even work well at higher altitudes for skiing. Probably not as darkening as Vuarnet glasses.

Perfect ! Fashionable, highly functional and good quality.

I honestly did not expect these sunglasses to be such good quality. They are built solid. The brand emblem on the side looks really cool, and the lens colors are awesome. Really hard to find budget sunglasses with the lens colors that are offered by this brand.

It came in really good packaging as always, this model is a bit slimmer and more form fitting on my face than the older model. It still has the charm of the initial model. I have a bit of a smaller face so this one fits me a bit better.

I am used to more wrap around designs but decided to give these a try and they are not bad!

Style is subjective so I will not get into that too much, but I will say the frame feels pretty sturdy without being too heavy and they sit securely so I am not worried about them falling off, do note you might need to loosen them a bit if you have a larger head though...I do not have any lab equipment to test the uv claims, but wearing them in bright sunlight feels comfortable once I got used to the different feel compared to my wrap around pair so I guess they are doing their job.

Overall seems like a pretty good pair for the price.

Nice lightweight stylish glasses that took a little bending to fit as they are initially somewhat small in the temple. Very strong polarization. Between the tightness and the polarization that was giving me headaches at first. Once I loosened up the temples everything was fine. So just keep that in mind after you get them!

These glasses have a lighter tint than most of the sunglasses I have had which probably helps with the clarity in vision. They also were smaller, so were slightly tight on my head although someone with a thinner head would probably appreciate the size. They come with a standard bag case. I thought for the price point I would like them better so for that I deducted a star.

These glasses are a decent alternative to Ray-Ban sunglasses if you don't require high quality and a brand name. These are lightweight sunglasses with plastic lenses that sometimes pop out while cleaning them. I would expect to pay $30 to $40 for these, not $60. They are comfortable for all-day wear, because they're light and don't press into the sides of my head, and they do look good.

Response from Black SailCarrShow, we're glad you like the look and find them comfortable enough to wear all day. We would like to know more about the lens coming out when you're cleaning them. If you still have the pair, reach out at hello@blacksaileyewear.com and we'll take a look.

I thought that the glasses would have been more scratch resistent. And the right lens popped out and had to be reinsterted.

Not the quality i was expecting.

Response from Black SailScott, we're sorry you had to deal with scratches and a lens coming out of the frame. We understand why you'd be disappointed. Could you send a couple photos to hello@blacksaileyewear.com? Once we see what's going on, we'll figure out the best way to help.

Questions we get asked

When will I get them?

Most orders leave us in 1–3 business days, and then it’s however long the mail takes to reach you. Once yours ships, we’ll email the tracking so you can follow it the rest of the way.

What if they’re not right for me?

You’ve got 60 days from the day they’re delivered. Try them on, take them outside and see what you think.

If they’re not right, send them back in like-new shape with the hard case, soft case and cloth. You cover the return shipping and we’ll refund you when they get back to us.

What if they break, or I lose them?

If it’s a manufacturing defect, the lifetime warranty covers it. Send us a few photos and we’ll take a look.

Will the Jib fit me?

Check the numbers printed inside a pair you already own and compare them to 55-18-145 — lens width, bridge, then temple length, in millimeters.

If they’re not right when they arrive, you’ve got 60 days.

How do I look after them?

Keep it simple. Water and the cleaning cloth are all you need.

Sunscreen, bug spray, hand sanitizer and household cleaners can damage the lens coatings, so keep them off the lenses.
