Barz Optics demonstrates Floater aquatic prowess

Floater from BarzOptics Barz Optics Kevin Barr
Gone are the days of losing your sunnies to the bottom of the ocean. Floating like no other, Barz has put their new Floater to the test in the surf and haven’t been disappointed.

They float in the most turbulent water. The durable TR90 frame is available in three unique colours: Gloss Carbon Fibre/ grey temples & nose piece, Matt Tortoiseshell/ tan temples & nose piece and Matt Grey / Apple Green temples & nose piece.

Says Kevin Barr from BarzOptics, 'Barz floating sunglasses float in rough conditions. Most sunglasses that say they float, only float in the bathtub as once they break surface tension (or if there is any movement on top of the water), down they go!'

All Floater frames feature non-slip temples and nose piece. The nose piece is padded to reduce injury to the wearer from frontal impact. Floater is fitted with high quality Japanese Polycarbonate Non Polarised lenses.
