Pit Vipers Worldwide

This fun and funky brand started with one mission: to make sunglasses that can take a beating. Founded in 2012 by owner Chuck Mumford, this brand’s goal is to make durable glasses that are cool, on-trend, and meant to fit an extreme lifestyle. This brand prides itself on not taking themselves too seriously and that definitely shows through on their website. These glasses are military grade, solar protected, and have three adjustment points to achieve the perfect fit. While they’re not as affordable as gas station sunglasses, they certainly beat out designer prices. These glasses will run you about $99 a pair. 

Blenders Eyewear

This brand started off in an unlikely way. Owner, Chase Fisher, went to a nightclub in neon green “beater” sunglasses and received overwhelmingly positive feedback on them. With this, he realized that there were not many sunglass options that were affordable and fun. This is when Blenders Eyewear was born. Blenders’ mission is to create a mid-priced eyewear option that is also high quality and follows the fun and fresh trends of the moment. These sunglasses cost about $50 a pair.

Heat Wave Sunglasses 

Heat Wave Sunglasses, originally known as Party Shades Co., started off in 2012 as an eyewear option where you could purchase glasses that are original, affordable and fully customizable.

No matter what, when shopping at Heat Wave, you know that your glasses, top to bottom, are coming straight from the creators. A pair of these sunglasses will cost anywhere from about $35 to $95. 

Dezi Eyewear

Dezi Eyewear, created by YouTuber Desi Perkins, was built on two main principles: creativity and confidence. It is the mission of this brand to create eyewear that is unique, affordable and built from the ground up. Desi Perkins wanted this brand to reflect on her personal and professional experiences, showing her intense life roadblocks to the adventurous world traveling she has done. She wants to show that the best products come from instinct and life training, and this definitely shows in the originality and style of her products. These shades will run you anywhere from $65 to $85.
