About us
Designed in LA, worn everywhere
We may hang our hats in sunny California, but we're on a global mission to deliver incredible eyewear that empowers people to explore more, worry less, and live always in the moment.
Shaking up the industry
The eyewear business is dominated by a single massive company, and they have little incentive to move beyond the bulky and breakable frame construction of yesteryear. We've assembled a team of designers, engineers, and eyewear veterans to wipe the drawing board clean and create frames that the 21st century deserves.
Always #ROAVing
We're driven by the never-ending search for awesome new experiences. Help us spread this message by tagging #ROAVing on Instagram and sharing your stories and images of adventure.
Our product
Truly Pocketable
Gone are the days of bulky cases and glasses falling off your shirt collar. ROAV sunglasses folds up to fit in the skinniest of jeans and the smallest of purses.
Astonishingly Durable
Our patented micro hinges are press-formed into the stainless steel frame; unlike traditional eyewear hinges that are soldered or riveted. Fewer parts to break equals fewer broken glasses.
The frames are made of durable material that will last you a while. The frames are constructed of stainless steel, which means they are rust-free. Additionally, the frames are coated via a vapor deposition process. It makes the coating more corrosion and abrasion resistant.
Weightless Comfort
No more sore noses and constant slippage, the nose and temple pads on the ROAV sunglasses are both silicone and wear comfortably. Our frames are laser cut from ultra-thin stainless steel and weigh less than 20 grams, so you may forget they're even on.
The glasses feel pretty flimsy when you first get your hands on them. They weigh less than 20 grams but that low weight don't make it fragile.
Polarized & Protective
Great frames deserve great lenses. With full protection from harmful UVA + UVB rays and glare-cutting polarization in every pair, those eyeballs of yours will be feeling comfy and cared for. And, if you need prescription sunglasses to avoid those clip-ons, our frames are “prescription-friendly”.
Our Micro Hinge
A miniature marvel of epic proportions. The most advanced eyewear hinge ever developed is ultra-durable, screw-free, spring loaded, and positively tiny.
Material
All our frames are made with top quality 304 stainless steel with high tensile strength which means they are almost indestructible. They are extremely flexible and light and will fit comfortably.
Finishing
Ionized Vacuum Plating – perhaps the highest quality finishing in the eyewear industry to date. The process involves attaching negative and positive ions within a vacuum controlled environment to achieve a finishing that is consistent, durable and scratch resistant.
Screwless Design
Our design philosophy is very focused – we believe ‘simple’ works. Therefore the entire construction of our frames are without any unnecessary complicated mechanism, no screws that will fall off, every part is inter-connected with each other to function properly using the flexibility of stainless steel. The whole frame opens and closes with ease and almost semi-automatically.
Lens
Our lens are TAC (Tri-acetate) and Polarized. Tri-acetate makes the lens flexible, thin and light weight and they all pass the stringent Impact Resistant Test. Polarized lens have the benefits of
International Standard
All our frames are made in accordance with CE directives ISO 12870 (ask Ada for more information) – the most stringent international standard for eyewear fabrication.
