The Yaletown - a revolutionary new pair of wooden sunglasses with a prescription lens compatible frame. The frames are made from gorgeous ebony and maple wood, sourced from approved producers.

They include the very best lens technology with UV400 rated CLARITY A/R Polarised lenses. They are 100% optically correct across the whole lens and provide full spectrum UVA and UVB protection. They're made of super tough, ultra lightweight nylon and weigh half the weight of traditional glass lenses. They are manufactured using the latest technique where the tint and polarisation layers are built into the lens instead of being applied as a coating that can bubble over time. They also have twice the scratch resistance of glass lenses and can withstand any impact you can throw at them.

The Yaletown sunglasses are supremely comfortable with spring-loaded hinges to provide a secure but gentle grip. Weighing only 23 grams, we are confident you will find them to be the most comfortable sunglasses you've ever worn.

Good but could be improved.

Ordered these for my brother for Christmas as he requested a pair of wooden sunglasses. Nice shades, but the arms should have flexible/spring loaded hinges to allow them to open out further without risk or breaking or bending the arms, this is helpful for people with wider heads also. I was scared to open them when they arrive it felt like they might break if I pulled the arms open too fast...

Thanks for your review Craig. You do not need to worry about the frame breaking at all. It's designed to be flexible and we deliberately did not fit spring hinges in this model as the frame and arms can flex to accommodate a wider face if needs be. We've fitted high quality optical hinges instead. At first these sunglasses may appear to be delicate, but the multi layer construction actually makes them the opposite. We've been able to create a slimline frame which can actually withstand a lot more rough treatment than a thicker full wood frame.

Very Happy with this purchase!

I’ve been looking for a new pair of shades with the following criteria for quite some time:
Lightweight
Polarized lenses
Eco friendly
Canadian made
Bamboo or wood frame
Reasonably priced

My Wildwood Yaletown sunglasses achieve and succeed all of the above! I LOVE them!!
Initially I purchased the Original frame, but when they came the frame just didn’t suit my face (too big). Customer service was super easy and friendly to deal with, I shipped them back and went with the Yaletown instead.
I’ve only had them for a week but so far so good!
Perfect fit! SUPER light! Love the wood finish! And no pinch points!
Worth the extra money to upgrade from the Original to the Yaletown but both are awesome.
I love that this is a 100% Canadian company, using ethically sourced products with a mission and values I support.
5 stars!

Sweet Shades

These fit perfectly and look amazing. They really give a cool beach/natural look which is definitely my style since I'm an east coast guy. The tint is just dark enough that people don't see your eyes from up close which is nice since I don't tend to go for the see-through look. I also wanna give a big shout out to Rod! He was super fast to reply and was very helpful. Great company to deal with and will most likely buy from there again. Recommending to my friends too

Exceeds my expectations

My order arrived much earlier than expected, especially due to the current pandemic challenges impacting shipments.
Incredibly comfortable frames manufactured from a sustainably managed forest, perfect. Makes me proud to move away from single use plastic frames.......these not only look and fell fantastic, they also sequester carbon.....making my footprint on earth just that much smaller.

Awesome glasses-Awesome customer service

Waited quite a while for these glasses as it turned out the shipping service had screwed up hard. I emailed you guys(Wildwood) and was immediately replied to and another pair shipped to rectify. This arrived within a couple days and have been brilliant

EXCELLENT PRODUCT & SERVICE

I Wanted some good quality, cute, but eco friendly sunglasses that didn't cost a fortune. I brought two pairs from eco beach and they are lovely. After 4 months my polarised glasses had areas where the mirror finish was coming off. I contacted ecobeach and they replied within an hour at an out of hours time, and also replaced them within days. Excellent service and a great product.

Great look!

I bought these for my two girls.
Fast delivery and amazing look!
We travel a lot and it is hard to find great polarized sunglasses for kids to protect their eyes.
I hope the lenses stand up to all the adventures I hope to have with them.
