See what makes William Painter products the best everyday carry essentials.
AEROSPACE GRADE TITANIUM FRAMES
THE HOOK, THE OASIS, THE HUGHES, THE LUME, THE LEVEL, THE EMPIRE.
Titanium is the perfect choice for unrivaled durability, style, and comfort. Known for its strength and dexterity, titanium keeps our frames rear-weighted and designed for balance — so they won’t slip down your nose while you’re adventuring. Our titanium frames are also hypoallergenic and perfectly safe for the human body.
JAPANESE NYLON POLARIZED LENSES
THE HOOK, THE OASIS, THE HUGHES, THE LUME, THE LEVEL, THE EMPIRE.
Our polarized lenses neutralize glare, improve clarity, and reduce strain on the eyes. They work well for driving, watersports, and winter snow glare, and they’re totally impact and scratch resistant.
Most lenses only have a polarizing + tint coating added to the top that slowly flakes off the lens. We integrate both the polarizing and tint layers all the way through the lens, so we can assure you they’re the absolute best.
100% UVA and UVB, and UV400 for total protection.
REAR-WEIGHTED BALANCE
ALL FRAMES
Our glasses have exceptional balance. We focus on shifting the center of gravity of the sunglasses and blue blockers to the rear for added comfort and stability. They won’t slide on your face or fly off while you’re active.
PRESCRIPTION READINESS
ALL FRAMES
William Painter frames are designed to work with prescription lenses. The lenses you need can be easily added by your optician.
HARDCASE TECHNOLOGY
ALL FRAMES
The William Painter hardcase is custom built to stow your sunglasses and blue blockers. The case fits each frame with no wiggle room, so your William Painters don't shake around inside. We've tried hundreds of hardcases. This one is perfect.
