Brown Mineral Glass+ lens
Introducing our Droskyn Heather hexagonal sunglasses—a perfect fusion of modern design and exceptional craftsmanship. This hexagonal frame, in a soft pastel purple inspired by Cornish Heather, is thoughtfully designed to enhance a variety of face shapes and sizes.
Droskyn Heather is crafted from 100% recycled fishing gear, recovered from the UK coastline, paired with our non-polarised mineral glass+ lenses, offering complete sustainability and full UVA/UVB 400 protection.
Featuring a modern hexagonal frame design with geometric elements inspired by the angular rocky sea cliffs of Droskyn Point, shaped by the harsh Atlantic Ocean and Cornish mining heritage. Designed with versatility in mind, this hexagonal frame complements a broad range of face shapes, though they are particularly suited for medium-sized faces. The pastel purple finish, inspired by the natural beauty of Cornish Heather, adds a sophisticated touch.
Cases are included free with each pair of ordered frames.
OUR MINERAL GLASS+ LENSES
Optical Quality
ABBE VALUE: 59 vs. 32 for conventional plastic lenses
Mineral glass has by far the greatest optical clarity of all lens materials. There’s a reason why photographers use glass lenses: plastic mediums disperse and distort light. The optical clarity of a glasses lens is measured with an Abbe value, with lower numbers representing greater dispersion and unwanted chromatic aberration.
Sustainability
RECYCLABILITY: INFINITE vs. plastic lenses not currently recycled
Glass is infinitely recyclable and is widely recycled. In comparison plastic, optical lenses are made from virgin plastics, aren’t domestically recyclable and also produce microplastic when cut to shape.
Technology
REFLECTION FACTOR: 1.47% vs. 8.6% for un-coated plastic lenses
All of our lenses are equipped with an industry-leading anti-reflection coating on the inner surface of the lens, which eliminates distracting light reflections from light entering from behind the lens.
Scratch Resistance
MOHS HARDNESS VALUE: 6.8 vs. 2.9 for conventional plastic lenses
Chemically-hardened glass is more scratch resistant than any other form of lens by a huge margin. Waterhaul Mineral Glass+ lenses are designed to withstand the elements of sand and salt which come with adventure and to deliver lasting performance.
