I purchased the Rose Gold Palmettos to enhance my wake surf ride. Makes a huge difference in how I see the waves while I look stylish!

Great looking pair of sunnies!

These pink palmettos are very chic and trendy. I live in Michigan which is the great lake state and I go on a lot of kayaking and water-related activities. Using these floating and non-breakable glasses would be perfect! Great quality and would highly recommend it to all water lovers.

I LOVE THESE SHADES! THEY ACTUALLY DO FLOAT!! I just made my second purchase of 6 new additions to clan. Rheos is an exceptional company with amazing customer service! Their warranty policy, alone, is worth the purchase! I love how they back their product & also replace any lost shades at reasonable price. No other shades are necessary. They are super light weight & very comfy to wear, even with my small sized noodle(head).

never buy sunglasses without trying them on because I have a small face but gave these a try after reading about them in a recent Boating magazine. They are a little big but provide the coverage, polarization and I love that they float (although I haven't tested them yet) because I always take my glasses off when docking the boat because I am afraid they're going to fall off of my face into the water!
R
THE best glasses on the market. Don’t overpay for something you are likely to damage or lose. These are just as good. I can literally see through the water.
C
I have lost so many glasses to the lake where we live but these glasses are amazing! They are stylish, affordable, and really float!!
J
Exceptional quality, fast shipping, great fit all for a reasonable price. Now if only they were available on prescription!

Great Product

Picked smaller size glasses… small but not tight. Luckily they float since they slipped off my face.
E
Really happy, great value for money compared to similar on the market. The lenses are clear and the frames are super light and comfortable.
E
Lightweight , great fit
c
Love that they float!

These are definitely for larger framed face and also not so feminine.
J
My hubby and I only wear Rheos shades. Best value, quality, styles and the team behind this brand is fantastic. Love love love!!
K
Love them!
J
took these to hawaii and my coworkers kept "borrowing" them and forgetting to give back. We were all a fan! Much less anxiety wearing them in the ocean knowing we could likely find them floating!
L
I just got back from a six day trip on the Colorado river and wore these every day. Love the polarized lenses and the style. I also purchased the Rheos Emergency Brake Retainer and these stayed on my face through the whole trip including all the big drops in Cataract Canyon. One wish would be for Rhoes to offer styles that have more of a nose piece for those with low bridges.
T
I have owned several pairs of Rheos. These are my least favorite. I dig the style but I wish they were wider and more substantial. They seem very fragile. I def would not suggest these for any activity, as even bending over they always fall off.
M
Very comfortable. Love that they float! I would love to see a wider variety of designs in the future!
M
Love my new sunglasses
M
Love the glasses…. But I fell in the water. I assume they floated but we couldn’t find them.
S
I wakesurf & wear my Rheos surfing all the time - I love them & love that they float!
R
Love the design . Great fit.
B
I love these glasses. The only complaint I have is that after time, the arms get loose on all the pairs that I own and have to be tightened frequently. Otherwise, this would be a strong 5 stars!
a
These are my second pair in 6 months. I love the fit, the price and they look amazing on. Perfect for the SC sunshine and being on the water.
S
I have owned several of these the past couple years and I cannot wear any other brand! Amazing to wear fishing!
G
Used my Rheo sunglasses during a 6 day white water rafting excursion on the Colorado River through Cataract Canyon and loved them! While on the water or during hikes - my eyes were protected and visibility was great.
J
They are exactly as advertised and then some. 100% recommend.
D
Great

Awesome glasses! White white and look great!
